    Costumes of "Downton Abbey"

    It all depends on how accurate they try to be swinggal. Pretty accurate I hope, but given that the last series had more in common with Dallas than Upstairs Downstairs - who can tell?

    Faith - I absolutely adore that black dress! Where is it from?

    Ladies show us your best.

    That's a lovely dress Isis. If that's from the vintage vogue patterns, I have made that one too. I made it in a green patterned fabric to go with the green hat that you've also made! It's a good job we are in seperate countries!

    Brooches

    I love brooches and usually wear them: On block coloured coats and jackets On a plain jumper or cardi (helps if you wear a lot of black, like I always seem to!) Pinned to plain bags (home-made ones usually) I like to pin one to a plain beret to jazz 'em up

    Help identifying this style of dress?

    Looks very 80's to me! What's the film?

    Vintage Digital Camera....?

    We do re-enactment as a family and I always take my vintage Brownie with me. I have taken the guts out of it and use it as a box to store my digital camera in. Not terribly vintage, I know, but it's a useful way of carrying the camera around and not ruining the illusion (until I actually...

    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    You really have no idea how fresked out some people get about large men in fur (or feathery) suits. This reminds me of when I used to work at the Tower of London with Bungle from 'Rainbow', (really a lovely bloke called Malcolm). 'Rainbow' was a very popular show for pre schoolers during the...

    In London tomorrow- any good drinking hang-outs for vintage types?

    I you are 'sarf' of the river, the Trafalgar Inn in Greenwich is lovely, not in a golden era way but a Georgian one!

    Men (or women) What is your favorite perfume for women?

    I've taken to Rose Nuit de Mais (I think it's spelled that way) by Occitaine. It's a floral, which I usually don't like, but a very deep antique rose scent, which is lovely and mysterious without being overpowering for daytime wear.

    Dog ownership - questions, costs??

    All the dogs we have ever had have been rescue animals. They have also all been mutts, the best kind to have in my opinion. No dog is 'cheap to run', they are not a car. They eat (sometimes your stuff whilst you are out), they poo and wee (often over your stuff at first), they do not always...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Whilst out shopping with my family yesterday we went into a vintage shop where I have occasionally chatted to the lady who owns it. I was certainly more vintage inspired than true vintage (as befitted one who was just about to walk the dog), but my husband as usual was in tweed trousers...

    Man Cave/Vintage Lounge - Thoughts, anyone? (Heavy with photos)

    The big difficulty I'm finding is something affordable to hide a large flatscreen tv when it's not in use. I hate having my current tv as the centrepiece of the room. What about a folding screen? Or if it's on the wall and you have enough space, a large oil painting? You could build a frame...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    Ooh, I think I had one of the ones that just rotate back when I was a teenager! Along with something similar that sanded and buffed the nails - pure car boot sale fodder that was!

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    What's a clarisonic missjones? I admit I originally read it as 'colonic' (even I know what that is!)

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I can't use soap on my face it's too drying. What I do is massage cleanser well onto my face and neck, then soak a flannel (terry washcloth) in very hot water (as hot as you can stand), wring it out quickly then pop it over my face. This initially steams the pores open, then I wipe all the muck...

    I'd wear your lovely dress with a darker green cardi and opaque tight/stockings deadpandiva - it'll look lovely!
