    They're on sale for $29 and they don't have my size. Go figure...

    Thanks. I have found tons of bullet bra recommendations, I will have to filter through again for others.

    Show us what you've made!

    Shirt, Nice work on the dress. You're right it is very rewarding when you have the finished product and can say "Look what I did!". As for the sizing...I still haven't figured it out. I always end up taking things in because I purchased what should have been my size and I am swimming in...

    SaraLouise, You bring up an interesting point. Does anyone know if there any "grandma bras" still that give a pointy effect , but not as much as a bullet bra. I had thought of a playtex 18hr bra possibly having that effect, but if I remember, they only came in full figured sizes. I...

    Shoe opinions needed...

    Try Zappos-- They have a good selection of gold/bronze shoes and the shipping is free both ways. Maybe something like this would work... http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/35655566/c/935.html Or these are a little cheaper... http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/35655566/c/935.html Good luck--...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    You can say that again. Are you kidding me. MBH, I was on the same page as you thinking "formal" means "black tie optional", Full length gown preferred. Well, this makes your life a heck of a lot easier. (At least as far a the wedding wardrobe is concerned.)

    :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Big TShirts, Track pants and my favorite -- the dance sneaker:mad: I am guilty of showing a little stocking top/garter while dancing though. Although I usually wear an A line rather than cirlcle skirt so it does limit the amount of exposure. :o

    Precious...

    Kitty, I am laughing as I agree with you on so many points. I was at an event and a girl was wearing one of those stop staring dresses, smoking a cigarette, and the question was raised in my head "Is she pregnant and smoking??!!", I concluded that she was in desperate need of foundation...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I'm going to agree that the first photo does not look like a natural waist. It is not a smooth curve but rather a sharp angle. It reminds me of what control top panyhose do when your waist is pinched in. It is possible that there is sometype of control feature in the first swimsuit (ie. built...

    Show us what you've made!

    And they look better on you than they do on me. I HACKED the heck out of what I had. I took 3" off the top of the waist then reattached the waistband. That left only 2 instead of 4 buttons on either side. Took them in another 2" and in the end...From the front I thought I was making...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Muslin... You know, I am usually so antsy to get a project started and finished that I skip the muslin version. (I would probably more apt to do it if I had someone to lay the pattern out and cut it for melol ) I HATE the pre-work involved in sewing. But after some my last project...muslin...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    You got me... I've seen the line at DSW myself and have tried to find more styles and availability at other locations and can't find a darn thing. Like you, all I found was chatter from people unable to find more info. If you find anything, let us know.

    Oil Cleansing Method

    Yes, you can use rosewater as a toner...and rosehip oil is a great moisturizer.

    Help me accessorize this Outfit!

    Smuterella, Are you looking for the dress itself, or are you up for making one? There are plenty of 50s halter dress patterns...
