I don't think there was anyone sexier (in the best way) than Garbo in some of her 1920's films--she's just mesmerizing (and Jack Gilbert isn't any slouch in the charisma department either!). She's so much more sensual in her silent films than she is in her sound pictures. That communion cup...
:offtopic: I think Mamie looks so much prettier in the clothes from the teens-'30's than she did in the '50's fashions. The poor woman got such a bad repuation for being dowdy and, really, she looked lovely in the slimmer silhouettes.
Ike and John look darn sharp here too ('specially...
Johanna and Lolita, the two of you look like gorgeous porcelain dolls with that blonde hair and the pale complexions (and if I could get my hair to look half as good as either of you I'd be pretty darn happy)!
Really, you are both stunning.
Adorable print and great job KittyT!
Oh Josephine--removing bias tape is such a...; well, let's just say the air gets a little blue when I have to do that. Hang in there!
Ha! Clever Paisley!
Tony and Lauren, your pictures are both great! As always Lauren your dress is scrumptious. Josephine, you are so pretty!
I really want to make a Steampunk costume (in part inspired by the Steampunk thread here on the Lounge). If none of my friends have a Halloween...
Dear Ladies, I pray a moment of your indulgence for some superficial squeeing.
As I've previously confessed on this thread I love all the Daily Show alums but Stephen Colbert turns me into a squealing fangirl. I think he's funny (of course) and brilliant and terribly handsome.
But...
I made my dress of quilting cotton as well, but I used 2 layers as the cloth was nearly see through. This thread is an incentive to get the darn thing hemmed so I can post pictures!
Like new Beige Rago shaper (I wore it twice; it has been laundered and is fresh and clean). Extremely comfortable and the legs always stayed in place without rolling up.
Retails for $44.00. $25.00 covers the item and postage to anywhere in the US. I'm happy to mail it abroad but I may...
The neckline follows my collarbone almost exactly KittyT. I'll be interested to see if it pulls when I wear it (it hasn't while I've been moving in front of the mirror). The skirt seems heavy because it's so huge, but maybe I'm just not used to the '50's styles. Let me know how yours works out!
I'm just finishing up this dress too (I just have to hem that massive skirt). I agree, this is an odd dress in some ways--it seems huge on the hanger and it seemed big when I was assembling it, but after the tape was sewn on and I added the buttons it magically seemed fine. I didn't alter the...
