    How can I look more 1930s, less 1920s?

    The clothing is also drastically different. Dresses in the 20s were not fitted like 30s gowns. They were boyish and straight, sometimes with emphasis at the hip. But breasts were flattened and the female body shape was not emphasised at all. Skirts rose to under the knee which had been...

    I made this lovely 1930s butterfly sleeve shirt months ago. It's a lovely green satin crepe which really doesn't show the true colour here. It's so very elegant and flattering with wide black pants or a long skirt. I will take pic of me wearing it sometime.

    Mervin Wave Clips

    Cool, I have those too. My water wavers are amazing and only take me an hour to achieve finger waves. Be great to try the Mervins though.

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    Someone I recently was close to wears Royall Mandarin by Royall Fragrances. I really like it as it is very subtle yet manly. He sprayed it on my clothes before I left after my holiday. My jacket still smells of it and reminds me of him.
