    Ladies of the lounge and their mothers/grandmothers

    Inky - her shoes are wicked aren't they? Funnily enough I never knew I looked like her at all until I saw that photograph for the first time very recently! She was tiny though - about 5 feet tall, and I'm 5'9". She died when I was 19 and I don't think the resemblance was noticeable then - my...

    Fleur I can't see it with your mother or your grandmother! Have you got any pics of your paternal grandmother? Your mum's mum looks a bit like Isabella Rossellini.

    anyone wear grey hair?

    If my hair was pure white I would SO stop dyeing it - if your skin is young looking it'll just look like a Harlow platinum blonde!

    Show us your hair do's....

    I usually do overnight sets with velcro rollers or pincurls and had kind of given up on heated rollers, but I dug out my 2 sets of Remmingtons the other day and got a really great set of curls that held very well (despite the truly vile torrential rainstorms that hit London that evening). I used...

    Bullet bra sizing

    I definitely go down a cup size with vintage bras but the band size varies a bit.

    Fantastic December! And so nice to see another Brit gal here - especially as you are only in Surrey. You must join us next time the London ladies have a meet up.

    What's Your Fav Hairspray?

    I never found elnett to actually hold that well, but it doesn't leave a residue so that is a bonus and the smell is lovely. If I want my hair to stay put it has to be rock-hard helmet-like so Tresemme Freeze Spray is the only way to go. The residue is pretty awful it's true - even shampooing it...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Sorry Kami - I only just saw this! I own several Figurette bras and I'm pretty sure they are 50's or 60's. They come with an instruction leaflet on how to put the bras on (the cups unhook like a nursing bra and then we are advised to pull the breast through the hole!). In a shop in the east end...

    Pigeon Toe you look stunning! Is that a dress or a blouse - it looks wonderful. AAE - having seen the hair and outfit and hair on the night in question I can second how fabulous you looked. I didn't ask at the time but what do you do with the main bulk of your hair at the back? Is it rolled...

    What are you wearing today??

    This was actually from the weekend, not today so I'm cheating a bit. Not the clearest image due to taking it in a not-huge mirror! Blouse: Vintage from Ebay a few years ago. It's polished cotton. Skirt: Deadstock vintage bargain from Ebay. Late 40's at a guess, made from linen with a...

    Isn't she just! It's just such a natural look on you - not at all costumey.

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    Tigerlilly - your brows have a fantastic natural arch with a point - you could do fifties brows a treat! I have a natural arch which I can exaggerate when I want to but my daily look is this:

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Just wanted to show you all my hair when it is completely unstyled - just left to dry naturally - so you can see the cut. Unstyled: Styled:

    I'm so jealous you can set your hair just once a week! I have to do mine pretty much every day or it just disappears overnight!
