    fixing stockings

    :wave: When I wore some old pantyhose the other day I was wondering: is it possible to repair minor damages in pantyhose or stockings? I mean, fix them yourself? I know that in the old days, there were professionals who did that for you, you gave them the stockings and paid per...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Thank you! So altering the original dolman sleeves :eeek: (Fledermausaermel) and removing the elastic around the waist did the job. :)

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Thanks LD! I was insecure about the length. One thing doesn't show in the pic: the hem is too little (not wide enough), the dress has a very straight form instead of an "A"-form. so it looks sort of awkward when I walk, esp. in the back (many pleads below the derrière). Shortening the dress...

    That bag is really nice, it looks like a sheep! baa baa and is that mother of pearl on the top? I'm a MOPoholic, that's why I ask. :D

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    These are awesome! A showoff on every tiki party. or any party, that is. I got a teal dress from the bay, probably eighties-do-forties. I altered it a bit and hope it doesn't look eighties now. The leather shoes are new, got them for 20 Euro.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Wonderful rolls, AdrianLvsRocky, I like how you do them pretty far back. Mine always sit in front and usually don't come out properly, I must try them your way. I went for afternoon coffee to some friends and use the occasion to dress up a bit (I don't go vintage every day). This is how my...

    Ladies, you look fabulous as usual! SheBear, I love your bangs and esp. your rolls (do you still call them Victory rolls when they're on top of your head instead of on the sides?)! The other day, I tried standing pin curls for the first time. I expected it to come out real bad because I...

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    All your descriptions bring back the only Christmas I had in the US. It was so overwhelming to me, all the decoration, lights, stockings, a separate "Christmas room" (for the little village, the second plastic tree, and aaaall the presents). Plus the christmas songs we listened to in the...

    The general decline in standards today

    How well and wisely put! I think the same way. You can't listen to the "health professionals" all the time, if you ask five of them, you'll get seven different opinions on what to eat when and how and so on. Listen to your stomach and your heart, keep it tasty and colorful (speaking of fruits...

    Sexy lingerie

    I also give pantyhose thumbs down, really hate them. The only reason to wear them is when wearing a very sheer skirt or dress that would show the garters too much. The old undies have a special appeal to them for sure. You like a nice present to be packed thoroughly and with high quality...

    Another question about hair--taming the mane.

    Cloves are supposed to bring out the red? I wouldn't have expected that. Can't really imagine how tea mixed with cloves will smell. Never know who you gonna attract. :cool:

    Clean that hat.

    Now, I finally know what that strangely shaped brush I got from my grandma is meant for! Thanks for posting the pic :)

    Another question about hair--taming the mane.

    Thanks Sheeplady, I'll try this. Never heard of rinsing hair with tea, sounds like it's worth a try. Use only black tea or just any kind, turning your hair in your favorite color? :D I'd prefer red fruit tea then and stay away from green tea.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    :( I think that's pretty much the only way to deal with such people - ignore them. They are dumb people and won't understand even the wittiest remark, so save the energy. You know that you look good, and that's what counts. :)
