do you wash your hair everyday?
After doing some research on hair care, I'm currently trying to move away from frequent washing and leave as long as possible between washes. Also hoping to get the hang of using more natural shampoos. :) -

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Hello all, After telling myself I'd do it for years, I finally taught myself some basic sewing skills! I was wondering if anybody could recommend some simple sewing patterns for 1940s day dresses or shirtwaist dresses? Any help would definitely be appreciated. Thank you :)- Alice~

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
Hey Lady Betty, Corset Story corsets are fashion corsets - they wont alter your shape at all and you can't waist train with them. Orchard Corset make the cheapest off the rack corsets.- Alice~

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
Hello, LadyBetty :) It's possible you'll get reverse-muffin top from a waspie, but it depends on your torso length. It's best to check the corset's maximum height against your own measurements. Measure from your underbust (where your bra band sits) downwards, and you'll be able to see where...- Alice~

High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
Loving my Freddies shorts - they're getting lots of wear now England is warming up a little! Never did get into swing trousers, but might go for some Freddies jeans at some point in the future. :)- Alice~

Chapsticks
I'm a huge Burt's Bees fan, but the Carmex sticks are a favourite too - especially the vanilla flavour, yum! -

Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)
An expansion on my previous 'yes': Certain contributions from some men put people off posting. I lurked in the Lounge for a good few years before I made an account, and the biggest reason I didn't sign up sooner was seeing the sexualised comments/innuendos from men posting in women's threads...- Alice~

Best vintage bag style for long commute on foot?
How about a nice big leather satchel? The classic styles have a very vintage look, I think, and often you can customise them to suit your needs. There are some beautiful pieces by The Leather Satchel Co., who I've had a good experience with in the past. But perhaps you can find somewhere...- Alice~

What vintage won't you wear?
Shoulder pads... I have broad shoulders and really don't need the extra padding lol But now that you mention it, I don't do gloves either. They're something that I just feel costume-y in whenever I try to wear them.- Alice~

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
Hey cakesandcakes :) Laces can be tucked in easily, either through the lacing panel or hidden underneath other areas of the corset, depending on how it fits you. More of a concern for a seamless look is the height of the corset. If the corset is too long for your torso, the busk may jut out at...- Alice~

Help!!! Long hair problems
You say it's curly? Well, you're already half-way there :) I second fgradowski - try adding some victory rolls to the sides, maybe experiment with hair flowers. I'd also suggest having a browse through the Everyday Women of the Golden Era thread. Sometimes we can get a little distracted by... -
