    Slips!

    I used regular RIT dye on my salmon one and it hasn't bled at all. I'd try handwashing it first to see if it bleeds.

    Spontaneity

    It really depends on who it is. I don't get overnight guests much, or any guests for that matter, so I appreciate the company. Our house is usually never too dirty, maybe a bit cluttered. I'm happy to let someone stay over if they need it, and if things are really bad, I may pick up a few...

    Slips!

    It really depends on the slip to be honest. I wouldn't pay much more than $15 or so, but I'm cheap. Slips with special details like crystal pleating or in certain rare colors will go for quite a bit more. I have an amazing salmon colored teddy from the 50s that I paid about $50 for. It's still...

    Slips!

    I love slips! I wear vintage slips with just about everything. They help your dresses lay right, keep them from riding up on your stockings, and they help protect your valuable vintage dresses from perspiration, which can contribute to fabric deterioration and make it so you have to wash those...

    Pricing clothing for sale- help needed please.

    Well that's the other important factor - how soon are you trying to sell?

    Pricing clothing for sale- help needed please.

    My best suggestion is to search completed items on ebay to see what similar items have sold for in the recent past. It's very hard to say, because the market is all over the place - the economy is down, so a lot of people aren't spending money, but some pieces will still sell for a lot of money...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Will do! They remind me a lot of an olive green pair of Faryl Robins I got recently. I've really been wanting a pair of closed-toed 40's style heels to replace my Remix babydolls. I love the style of the babydolls, but the leather is so stiff and the heel is too high - they're just so...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    attn UK ladies Since these were posted here, I've been waiting for a pair to pop up in my size. I just won a pair of these on Ebay UK for $14! The caveat is that the seller lists shipping to the UK only. Is anyone willing to receive these for me and forward them along? Am willing to...

    UK folks, help me out?

    Hello UK folks! I just won a sweeeet pair of shoes on Ebay UK but the seller does not ship to the US, UK only. Is there anyone here who's willing to have them shipped to them and forward them along? Am willing to negotiate something to make it worth your while. kitty

    Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?

    My parents have been married for more than 30 years. For roughly half of that time, they have not only lived in different residences, but in different countries! My dad comes home to visit maybe 2 or 3 times per year for a couple weeks at a time (mostly due to US laws regarding expatriots and US...

    Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?

    Something else - for those of you with partners who snore, I would encourage them to contact a sleep doctor to ask about doing a study to rule out sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be serious and has a lot of long-term medical consequences.

    Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?

    I agree with you, Hannah, but I do also think there's something very intimate about sleeping together. When you are asleep, you are at your absolute most vulnerable, and if you look at it like that, sleeping next to someone is the ultimate expression of trust.

    Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?

    Tishkaminx, my first suggestion would be to try earplugs. I have never been married but I think that separate rooms are a fabulous idea - not just because of the sleep disturbance (which doesn't bother me at all), but because each person NEEDS their individual space. When my partner and I...

    Discontinued!

    I actually don't see it listed on their website anymore. All I'm seeing is the Retro Glow Mosaic powder. They have 2 packs of it on Amazon, though, for $20.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Finally found a pair of red shoes that fit! I'm glad to have found something with a nice, mid-height heel. There is a hard cap around the heel and the toe though, and I hope that's not going to be uncomfortable during extended wear.

    Bed Bugs and Safe Collecting

    The problem though is that they can get way inside your mattress. They also can nest inside cracks/joints in your bedframe or other furniture.

    What kind of "old" are you talking about? None of this stuff seems old lady to me or anything....

    Bed Bugs and Safe Collecting

    Boston has HUGE issues with bed bugs and has for as long as I've lived here. The issues in NYC seem to be more recent. Here in Boston, it's the large number of college students living in tight quarters that seem to encourage them, helped in part by the frequent transfer of furniture set out on...
