    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Oooh lucky you! What are the soles like? Are they leather? How would they fare for everyday street wear?

    These are amazing! Check out a bunch of her other styles at http://www.diva-boutique.com. They're pretty much all to die for.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Perlina shoes? Anyone here discovered Perlina shoes yet? They are supposed to be comfort/fashion shoes. Check out this cute 20s/30s style pump at Amazon on wicked sale (<$40!) I'm also in love with these ones, and would love pairs in black, red, navy AND grey, but I just can't find them in...

    Looking for waxed canvas or "tin cloth"

    Is this the same as "oilcloth"? If so, try searching for that term - it's much more commonly used.

    Am i vintage hair-disadvantaged because i have bangs?

    You can do almost any style with bangs, including victory rolls and finger waves. Having longer fringe will give you a bit more versatility though.

    Custom Pro MakeUp Cases

    Why don't you get a plain one and find someone to airbrush it for you? Or have a hot rodder pinstripe it for you?

    The Pinup Thread

    You might want to look through the Powder Room. There's at least one big thread on swimsuits. I'll see if I have time to find it for you later, but for now, I must be getting ready for work. EDIT: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=16596 this thread is on vintage swimsuits, but...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I don't own a pair, because I still can't get over the stigma of them being Crocs, but I'll probably break down and get a pair over the summer.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Some of their ballet flats are also very cute, and they have little peep-toed slingback flats as well. Not bad for lounging around the house or just tooling around. They ARE very comfortable.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Totally not true! I can think of no fewer than 3 MAC shades off the top of my head that have no hint of orange in them - they are true, blue-based reds. Chanel also has good, true reds. Actually, there are many brands and many shades of true red lipsticks - just read back in this thread ;-)

    Short hair help, yet again

    these are great! I'm due for a cut and need to get a lot of length cut off. I kindof want to get a plain bob, but am then worried about whether or not I'll be able to get good sets without having layers. A lot of these cuts look like they don't have many layers though, which is great.

    Transitioning to dresses

    No kidding. Most hairdressers I've seen wear a huge variety of clothing, from very casual, to dressy. It seems that all there really is to limit you is the discomfort of being on your feet all day.

    My full 1940 or 50's vintage outfit

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    wow. I wonder where she found the nylon fabric for that?

    Keeping our cool in the heat!!

    If there's a Chinatown nearby, that's going to be your closest bet. Ebay has more selection though, and there's a seller on Ebay that sells a lot of really great, reasonably priced fabric fans. There are also lots of great vintage ones on ebay. Search for "hand fan" or "fan - electric"

    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    Yes, in part. But it does also depend on the cut of the corset, the number of pieces of fabric, the placement of the boning, etc. For an hourglass silhouette that leaves room for the hips, your best bet is probably a classic style Victorian. However, the style you choose will also need to...

    Keeping our cool in the heat!!

    You mean other than air conditioning? lol When i'm out and about, I carry a fan with me, almost everywhere in the summer. I use it at shows, waiting in the hot subway tunnels, riding the train... when it's really hot out, that person next to you will love you for it :-) Stick to the ones...

    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    Any traditionally styled corset (ie made with a steel busk in the front, and steel boning, with bi-directional lacing in back) will be made for curves - that's the whole point of a corset. I've never seen one that wasn't cut narrower in the waist, unless it's a super cheap one with a hook and...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    They are supposedly narrower in cut, but I'm not too sure. However, these ones come in half sizes whereas the unisex ones often only come in full sizes, so maybe a half size down would help?
