    Books for women trying to find Mr. Right?

    You see, I think it is possibly an American thing. Books don't help, not really. Apart from Jane Austen, she spoke a loooot of sense. She also died single. Tell her to get out there, and stop looking! I dated so many losers rather than be alone and when I stopped looking one of my best friends...

    To save or not to save: 1930's dress in need of rehabilitation

    I'm a sad old thing...I think I'd buy them anyway, just because of their history....I trained in textile conservation and I'm afraid I now have boxes of dresses etc that aren't wearable but are a wonderful reference guide for me when I'm sewing my own etc... Wow, stuck here in the UK you make...

    Remix Shoes!!

    Cheers fleur! I'm on the waiting list for a pair of rugcutters from a dance shop here in the UK. I quite fancy the mesh low heeled shoe too. Re the luggage brown, yes they posted the wrong pic-but I had noticed it and looked at another style in luggage brown. It looked a lot darker and on...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I bought the Greta shoe in luggage brown. They are lovely but I don't think they really suit me so they may go on e-b*y! My only really niggles are A) Price-even when bought in the UK they are waaaay overpriced b) the colour is nothing like the pics on the website. Comfy though.....;)

    Vintage showgirls

    Ditas book is pretty good...Burlesque and the art of the tease or something. Pretty coffee table book. When I was about 16 I purchased a lot of 40s and 50s stagegirl outfits. Corsets etc -I used to wear them with jeans when I was skinny! (moooons ago) Sadly, I had a disreputable landlord in my...

    Help Please - new to all this!

    Try setting your hair on big rollers and flip it underneath so you get that Scarlett Johanssen look, pin one side back behind your ear. This Flikr photo tutorial (nicked off here) is brilliant for mid length hair. Let us know how you got on, one word of advice....it's addictive!!!!!:p...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Vogue Patterns Hello, I made that middle dress from a vogue pattern and it was awful. The waist/hip line on it is murder to line up and if you're not 'boyish of figure' shall we say it doesnt flatter. However, I did make the jacket from pattern no.1 for my friend and it made up like a dream...
