I so agree that the high street repros or takes on vintage, whilst they may look cute on the hanger, tend to look appalling on because of poor construction and cheap manufacture. I did manage to find a couple of cute, reasonably fitting cardigans at Joy today, so every once in a while...
I've noticed that this is quite an old thread...I was just wondering if anyone had used this company and if so, what results have they had? I've come up with a design, but am not so sure of the result with the limited fabrics that they have available. I'm thinking of emailing for swatches...
deleteduser, it sounds like we have quite similar unruly hair. I've not had much luck with wet sets for as well as it taking forever and a day to dry it ends up coming out looking like, well, Annie from the comic strip, especially if I try to brush it (even with lots of brushing, as...
Cheers MarieAnne and Lady Day for clarifying that for me; I've not got a dress form so I'll keep my eye on Ebay for a chalk one. I want a vintage one, naturally!
Hem Marker
A similar question was asked earlier in the thread by another lounger but I could not find the response. I'm brand spanking new to sewing, and I was looking to purchase a hem marker for skirts. I'm finding the pin style and the chalk style; as I shan't have anyone to help me, is it...
Thank you, December. For my to-do list: next time I've a day free I'll try and get to one of the Beyond Retro branches. I keep missing the Vintage Fashion Fairs for one reason or another, and I've got that itchy needing to spend feeling...
Eeeeewwww!!! I can't believe he really put a spoonful of 37-year old [U]smelly[U] beans in his mouth! :eek: :eek: I was laughing and being ill at the same time watching this...good one!
Beautifully written. I am without question a Ms, as I don't feel it is anyone's business whether I am married or unmarried, unless I choose to make it someone's business. Anyone addressing me by any other title will be swiftly corrected. I want to have the same freedom as a Mr., in other...
Would that it were! The 50's silhouette, I ain't got and that's for sure! :D I actually got the top for that blousy not too clingy 40's vibe, and still - pop, pop, pop...
Trust me Peacoat, you would have been wondering where the other 2 Stooges were had you been witness to it!
Ooh, tell me about it! I recently bought a blouse, brought it home, went to put it on for the evening and every bloody button shot off, all 6,7 or so of them! It was like a comedy sketch, with me scrambling around on all fours trying to retrieve these buttons! Well, a 40's-style blouse it was...
Stephen King - for sheer entertainment value
Hugh Walpole - undeservedly forgotten writer of the 20's-30's, just beautiful in his use of language
Kathe Koja - her books for adults which speak of loss and emotional pain and sheer horror like no other authour I've read
Damon Runyon - no...
As a Yank, oops, American, who has been living in the UK for over a decade now, I didn't even bat an eyelid when I read this post. But yes, when I read the following comments that I remembered, hmm, oh yes. A "more than somewhat" more vulgar meaning in the States, yes :o . However, I do not...
I have the Grounder Lo's and they're super comfortable. When my mother saw them she said she had a pair just like them when she was a kid! The other reason I like them is that they're a kind of off-white/cream colour and not that blinding white that you need to dirty up a bit before you can...
