    Lovely dress Daisy. Sorry you didn't win. I was kicking my self really hard recently for forgetting to bid on this hand bag. It had a striped lining, mirror in the lid and still had it's owners gray gloves inside. It went so cheap too!:rage:

    Remix Shoes!!

    Thanks Rosie, I wore them for the first time Monday night and after walking in them for a few minutes they felt totally fine. I was relieved as I wouldn't want to damage then, nor part with them. They were hardly worn so I think they were never really broken in. I adore my white sale wedges...

    Vintage Shoe info

    I agree with Snookie, don't measure your foot, measure a shoe and come as close to heel hight as you can. In other words don't measure the inside of a flat shoe if you are buying a heel. I wear a modern size 8 or 8.5 depending on how the shoe is cut. I usually look for vintage that measure 10"...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    "In olden days a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking......." What goes around comes around. I guess men have been so deprived of femininity that stockings (seams) are a big deal again.;)

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Oooooo I love those!! The green is different too. I like that the heel is more the thickness of the 40's heels rather than when they make them thin.

    Setting Lotion

    It is not as stiff as hairspray. It helps hold the curl but I still use hairspray when my hair is dry and arranged the way I want it. This comes in a bottle and you mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle. You use it when your hair is damp and spray and comb it through before setting...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Most of the 40's longer glamor styles (and some shorter ones too) were cut in a U shape, londer in the back and gradually shorter on the sides. If you go with layers, I would go with just a couple on the bottom to enhance your curl, but not so as to have curls all over your head, if that makes...

    Shirley Temple Hair

    You may have more success doing this type of set with sponge rollers, and when you remove them pull them downward instead of unwinding them, as this will help form the sausage type curl.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I agree you look more like her in your avitar than your other photos. Love the prom dresses! That's one of my favorite movies.;)

    You have to select the option to make a colage. It is one of the tiny icons on the bottom of the box with the pictures. If you need any more help, feel free to PM me.;)
