    How to shrink a dress?

    Ahh, OK, thank you for the reality check Lady Day! Especially since this is a classic early 30s dress rife with darts and detail seams, I can see how this would be a very bad idea. Fortunately I can wear it anyway with a sash pulling it together; a slightly different look than originally...

    How to shrink a dress?

    I did some searching for a similar thread but couldn't find one; if there is one somewhere I'm very sorry. Bartenders, feel free to move this!! Anyway, I have a 1930s black dress made from what I believe to be silk (or a similar synthetic) crepe. I really don't want to sell it, as it has...

    The ones that got away

    Oh no! I feel your pain, LinaSofia, those might be the cutest glasses I have ever seen, no exaggeration!

    What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!

    I know it's a cliche, but: old films! This afternoon, for instance, I had a little film noir fest and watched Laura and Gilda; now my hair's all done up in rag curls and I can't wait to crack out my matte red lipstick and a black 40s rayon dress tomorrow. It's funny, I personally find routines...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Penny Dreadful, you are so stunning! I love your hair color. LinaSofia, many thanks for that scarf trick!!! I have waist-length hair and I tried it out myself this afternoon-- perfect. It looks more 1920s/faux bob on me ('cause of how much hair I've got rolled up here lol) but it's adorable...

    Wow, Miss Golightly, that lucite purse is to die for! The scarf idea sounds like it'll be really really cute too. Katinka von K, I Adore Film Noir, and JetGirl, thanks ever so!

    Red lipstick and the job interview

    I have Revlon's Just Bitten stain in Gothic; despite the name, it's a very bright and clear blue-based red. I really like it; it's also great for days when my lips are too chapped for 'stick, or if I'm just feeling lazy :D

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I sleep with a scarf over my ragcurls most nights, and my mother always calls me Aunt Jemima lol

    Red lipstick and the job interview

    Well, when I was applying to Universities and going to those interviews, I opted for my Revlon lipstain and a thin cat-eye in liquid liner. I wanted to stay true to myself and my vintage sensibilities, but not come across as a total freak show (that side of me could be revealed after I received...

    Miss_Bella_Hell, you look simply stunning! Love the neckline on the first dress. Here are some of the finds I snatched up at a local antique store's President's Day Sale! I got a rust-colored 1930s crepe dress I'd been drooling over for MONTHS for just $5.00, then a black lace 1920s dress for...

    Got the *Blues*, Baby?

    This is one of my favorite film outfits ever, from "The Red Shoes": I love this mix of dusty blue with a more seafoam green, especially in luxurious floor length silk!

    Petticoats and Crinolines.

    Thank you, Miss Sofia!!! I'm a gingham addict too (obviously, I guess...). And in fitting with our whole motif, my dog's name is Banjo lol

    Petticoats and Crinolines.

    Thank you, Land-O-Lakes! The gingham dress, the crinoline, the guitar conveniently laying around... how could I resist hamming it up? :D

    Petticoats and Crinolines.

    What lovely crinolines you ladies have! I agree, a good one is practically a necessity if you have any of those wonderful New Look silhouette dresses. This is my only really fluffy one, a vintage 1950s one I got for $15 at a local antique mall: And under a dress (excuse the cheesy Loretta...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Oh gosh, how cool are they, riding out in front of the boys? I'm so the opposite of tough, but I secretly fantasize about being a 1950s girl biker... lol

    Dressing for Inclement Weather

    Thanks for the tip! Yeah, my J Crew boots were a gift but I know they were anything but cheap; I'm so disappointed they fell apart so quickly :( I'm definitely going to get some cheapo Target or Walmart boots this spring. I'm thinking classic rubber-duck yellow might be cute!

    Dressing for Inclement Weather

    I have a couple of knee-length classic rain slickers that I love; one is bright green (and lined in a vintage penguin fabric!) and the other cherry red. Also, rainy days are usually my pencil skirt days... that way they fit neatly under my rain jacket and don't get blown around in the wind...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    People keep telling me they like my "look"; nothing specific, just "great look!". I guess that's nice. Recently a teacher told me I looked like a 1940s art student: her reasoning was that I was "from a different era, but with an eccentric twist". It was one of the nicest comments I've ever...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Land-O-LakesGal, I LOVE the Remix Kates... I've had my eyes on those babies for a while! One of these days I'm going to cave and buy them lol I just bought these Irregular Choice platforms to be my spring/summer shoes; I saw and loved them last year, but now they're all on clearance and I can...
