Show us your hair do's....
Thanks, Queen and Tink. :) Going to try fewer pincurls tonight to see if I prefer that. Antje, you always look so flawless! -
Show us your hair do's....
I had my hair cut a lot shorter than usual yesterday and also had a few layers for the first time. I did a quick pincurl set to see how it would curl. I wanted to move away from waves and try something different but I'm not sure if I like it at all! :/ -
Show us your hair do's....
Wow Queen! That looks really pretty! I really like the wave over the eye. I think this style suits you well :) I'd say experiment with victory rolls :) I think they'd look really nice on you, one with the fringe section and then another on each side. While setting hair does help with making the... -
Custom made vintage repros...
I received my skirt yesterday, 20 days after payment. It looks very pretty and fits beautifully, but I am not very happy with the quality. There are more than a few loose threads and it looks very rushed. I picked "dark brown wool blend" and the fabric was just okay. It lets light through very...- Alice~

'Judgements' by rosea posey
Posey's piece is criticism regarding how women are judged often by appearance (simplified by the length of skirt) rather than by character. I totally agree with Lady Day's comments and Lizzie's regarding "unacceptable" women - which are reflected in this article. Personally I feel that the...- Alice~

Custom made vintage repros...
Any new experiences with Cynthia/HeartMyCloset/TopRunway? I've just ordered the swing skirt. Looking forward to it as I find it hard to find skirts that fit well, but slightly concerned about the fabric after reading this thread! I'm hoping I'll get some fabric swatches so I can consider a...- Alice~

Sculpture Pin Curler
I can't get this to work well for me - I think my hair is far too thick for the size of the pin curler. If anybody in the UK would like to have mine, send me a private message. It's in perfect condition and I'd rather somebody got some use of it than it sitting around on my dressing table forever! -

Hey Cutiepie! I especially like the first style, it really suits you :) Very pretty indeed. How did you do it? -
High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
I'm afraid I come with bad news! I didn't like the Freddies trousers much at all. The material is very thin, no good at all for colder weather, and I wasn't that pleased with the fit. They run slightly larger than the chart so they didn't fit well at the waist. Although the Heyday trousers also...- Alice~

They do look very alike! Thank you for sharing, Lareine. I'm a very inexperienced sewer but I think I'll make them my project! Thank you again :)- Alice~

High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
MissNathalie, that's my trouser-inspiration photo too! They look so amazing and she wears them so well. Little Lady, as I couldn't find anywhere to get them custom made, I recently ordered a pair from Freddies of Pinewood. The sizing chart looks a little strange, but I messaged them through...- Alice~

Beautiful, Poppy! Lovely hair and it really suits you. :) -
Sculpture Pin Curler
I've just finished setting my hair, and goodness did it take a while... I'm not an expert at pincurling, it takes me about 45 minutes to set my hair using my fingers. The sculpture pin curl added a LOT to that time - I have very thick hair and this forces me to use much smaller amounts of hair... -

What, to you, is glamour/glamorous?
Absolutely agreed. How quaint that some men seem to think the world revolves around them. The male gaze is of absolutely no importance to me, and I know many others feel the same. I agree with others that the glamour present in some of the stars of the golden era seems sadly absent in the...- Alice~

I agree with this. I also think people must be comfortable with themselves and their appearance to appear glamorous - or at least give the impression that they are.- Alice~

Sculpture Pin Curler
I finally decided to order one and it should be with me within the next week. :) I'm really looking forward to seeing if it will speed up my sets much - I'll post my results here! -
High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
I finally ordered a pair from Heyday and while they were absolutely gorgeous, sadly didn't fit. My waist/hip measurements aren't great for shop sizes, and I think I'd like to try and find somebody who will custom make a pair before I buy a better Heyday size and get them altered. Sadly...- Alice~

The Middy Thread
Aw, Cinnamon, your sponge roller set looks beautiful! It suits you really well. I'm glad you're happy with the middy, and you have lovely glasses too. :)
