Show us your Swirl dresses!
Well, since they're wrap dresses, you really have at least a couple of inches of leeway. But you definitely would not want to wear it with a gap and your slip showing! You should ask the seller how much fabric overlap there is at the back.- KittyT

Cincher? I guess with a dress as comfy as a Swirl, wearing a cincher probably defeats the whole point.- KittyT

I've seen lots and lots of Swirl-ish vintage patterns out there. They sometimes go for a pretty penny, but they're out there.- KittyT

unconventional earrings?
They're pretty comfy once you manage to get them bent properly to your shape. The pearl ones are apparently pretty light.- KittyT

unconventional earrings?
They can be tricky. You have to bend them quite a bit to fit your ear and not stick out in funny ways, but they're pretty fun. Here are some more designs - I bid on these but alas, they went for $125! by Bogoff More Boucher- I believe these are also Boucher, but I'm not sure Weiss...- KittyT

unconventional earrings?
I recently came across 2 pair of these in an antique mall up in Vermont a few weeks ago. They were $4/pr so needless to say, I had to have them! I've sort of been on a binge lately researching and trying to acquire them, but gosh are they hard to find! This design was popularized (though how...- KittyT

hair products other than dye/shampoo changing hair color?
I have a vintage dress that does that! It turns to pink when I iron it and back to lavendar as it cools. It freaked me out the first time I saw it! -
Pillow rollers---some advice?
There are not really any tricks that are any different from rolling your hair any other way! Use a good setting lotion, end papers, roll damp or dry based on what works for you, and that's pretty much it. If you have the long skinny rollers, you can loop each new one through the last to help... -

Whirling Turban sells them and so does Ebay seller chopsueysisters. Also, there are gaucho pants, which I've seen quite a bit in retail stores, although they tend to be low waisted [huh] Newport News does have a pair of high waisted ones, but they're corduroy...- KittyT

HELP HELP! Bobby pins/Kirby grips
Yes! Sally Beauty brand bobby pins - the ones that come in either the black metal tins or the large plastic hexagonal containers, not the ones on the paper cards. They come in a decent variety of colors (gold, silver, blond, black, brown) and a variety of sizes (I love the small ones for holding... -

Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!
Right on, Lady Day! Never mind the fact that most people don't even go to the PO anymore to ship - they print a shipping label straight from Paypal and drop it in any mailbox. I NEVER pay for shipping materials, but I'm also lucky enough to work someplace where those are available to me. But...- KittyT

The right eye shadow shade
Yes, this is a standard trick of makeup artists. You can also use some around the inner corner of your eye and blend it in, which helps open up the eye. I agree. I usually use a light shade as a base up to my brow and a darker color to just past my eyelid crease. It does help open up the eye a... -
Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!
I saw a Coach bag for sale on Ebay that was like that - 99 cents, shipping $170. When you see items like this, you should report them to Ebay for violations of their shipping policy. I then usually email the seller too to let them know that I've reported them. I don't know if Ebay actually does...- KittyT
