    Age appropriate dress for your chosen era?

    I've just recently started thinking about this. I'm about to turn 35 and I don't look particularly young for my age. I've worn my hair in a high ponytail with either a short fringe or various styles of roll or curls at the front for a long long time (I usually wear it with a chiffon scarf tied...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    These are my latest: Some beautifully beaten-up 40's jeans for when i am feeling a little hillbilly And this cute beaded cardi - I always struggle to find these in my size so I'm pretty chuffed with this:

    "Anti-Aging" Treatments?

    Mostly it's down to your genes how you will age. I'm basically screwed as I have my dad's skin (dry, wrinkly and sensitive - thanks dad!) plus I have smoked for 20 years AND I'm skinny - skinny women don't age so well in the face - too bony to plump the skin out I suppose! Also, I am one of...

    Fleur - your foundation looks absolutely flawless! I will have to try that Covergirl one for myself.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Does anyone use a lip primer? Now that I am getting a little older I'm starting to get a little 'feathering' around the edge of my not-very-full lips when I wear lipstick. Does primer help? I've just ordered the MAC one and it claims to ease this problem. Does anyone else have trouble with...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thank you all! Audrey, I put the front in one small roller overnight wound very tight backwards (comfy to sleep in as it's at the front) and take it out carefully in the morning, brushing it with a small round brush to widen it out. Then I pin it with a kirby grip on each side. It doesn't always...

    Front pompadour roll

    I really need to be patient and let it grow - it's the width of that style I really like and I can't do that at the moment. Thanks for all the tips dolls x

    Show us your hair do's....

    Here is my hair today. It's survived a full day at work and a walk in the rain - hence the halo of fuzz!

    Front pompadour roll

    Great, thanks! lots of handy tips there. I think I need to grow my fringe a bit longer first, it's only just down to my eyes at the moment.

    Front pompadour roll

    Apologies if this has been asked about before, I went through lots of the threads on hair but couldn't find this specific style. I know Lipstick Vintage had instructions on something similar but her site doesn't seem to be working at the moment. So... I'm talking about a forward rolled fringe -...

    Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?

    Thanks for the tip Red... I will try that. I normally bobby pin the sides which helps a bit. It's definitely better with bigger scarves as you don't have to tie it so tightly either. Also, now my hair is longer I'm going to try doing a low bun-type-thing to see if that gives it a bit more to...

    Saddle shoes

    Anyone know a good place in the UK for saddle shoes? I got a pair of George Cox ones for a tenner on Ebay but they are really uncomfortable.

    Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?

    Ok, I have a problem with my headscarf wearing. I like to wear them Rosie the Riveter style, but the back of my head is really flat and they just won't stay put, even if I cover the inner surface with hairspray and bobby pin at the sides. I also have a low hairline at the back so I always end up...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I don't think I sew well enough to alter a waist cincher securely... Damn!

    Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?

    I wholeheartedly endorse nearly all of the replies above! My own requests would be: BLOUSES BLOUSES BLOUSES! Finding original ones that aren't falling apart or just too fragile to wear is almost impossible. Properly tailored to nip in at the waist and long enough to stay tucked in too! Oh and...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I have a question about shapewear - I have a small waist (about 24") but rather narrow hips. I would like to cinch my waist in a tad just to make my hips and boobs look a bit bigger and more hourglassy. Does anyone do waist cinchers (rather than corsets) in small enough sizes? I can't seem to...

    Jeans?

    I have lots of pairs of vintage jeans but my absolute favourites (high waisted side zipping and slim leg) are falling to pieces. Does anyone know of anyone in London who can make copies of garments? I'm desperate for another pair. x

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello all, I'm Hannah, living in London, 34 year old graphic designer. I'm mainly a fifties fan but I slip into the forties too at times. Suits and tailoring are my passion though I love my high-waisted jeans. I've been into vintage since my early teens and since moving to London a few...
