    Vintage inspired panties-care & purchase?

    Care is really quite simple - hand wash in tepid water using the same delicates wash you would use for your stockings or slips. Squeeze the water out (don't wring) and hang to dry. I love the Nancy King plain nylon undies - they're available from lingerieoutlet.com for $5.25/pr, which is the...

    Pattern from existing garment - sewing newbie!

    Yeah, this is definitely not something for a beginner to attempt.

    ladies girdles! - PRICE DROP

    United Airlines lost $1700 worth of stuff in my luggage 11 days ago (that's not including all of my favorite costume jewelry, which they won't reimburse for). Soooo..... since it'll be awhile before I see either my suitcase or a payment, it's time to start clearing out some stuff so I can afford...

    Personal Rules for Vintage Shopping?

    I have 3 rules for vintage shopping (not in any particular order): 1. What is the condition and what repairs are necessary? Does it fit me properly? I'm long over buying anything that needs anything more than simple repairs like stitching up loose seams or hemming. Anything that requires...

    Watch Your Carriage, Madame! A Guide to Good Posture

    My posture improved a lot when I was doing yoga. And go figure - my lower back pain went away too. Wearing solid foundation garments also helps. As Lizzie said, it's impossible to slouch when you're wearing a good girdle. I'm a horrible sloucher. I sit in a computer chair all day, I'm no...

    Has anyone found a good red lipstick that does not smudge???

    Ladies, while a lipstick itself may help determine how long it lasts, the real deciding factor is HOW you apply it!!!!!!! Your lips need to be smooth. You need to use a primer (I prefer Sephora's Tricks of the Trade). You need to use a liner to line and fill in (Kevin Aucoin recommends a...

    ORIGINAL 1940s women's shoes! Various Sizes!

    Oooh, I love the first pair but they are unfortunately out of my budget :-(

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Oh, I thought it meant they were being sold as 3 stockings to a package, which I wish more people did! When I buy my regular Hanes stockings, they come 2 pr to a package for $9.50, which works out pretty well. It means I always have extras :-)

    Does anyone know where I might get some discontinued Laura Mercier?

    I would just do a google search. Google is your friend! A search for "Laura Mercier babylips" turned up quite a few places that are selling it, including Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Amazon.

    Pro-Curler

    $39 is definitely too much. You can find them for less pretty easily.

    Skin Care tips/remedies

    I'd take a look around - I think there are quite a few threads here on skincare already! :-)

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    perrrrrrfect! And I can buy them locally. Also, how smart to package stockings 3 to a package. I wonder why no one else seems to do that.

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Thanks Lizzie! I was just scouring SockDreams and didn't see those. They do not have to be nylon at all. In fact, with feet inside less breathable shoes and boots all winter, breathable cotton is probably better. $13/pair is a little pricey but not terrible. I currently have a pair that were the...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Hey ladies, does anyone here know where to buy heavy weight *stockings*? I'm talking opaque, winter weight "tights" that are stockings, 50 denier or above. The caveat is that they can't cost $15/pair! Also, I'm looking for work-wear, not Fully Fashioned... Thanks :-)

    Juicers - Set The Juice Loose!

    This is what I do. I stick in the fork, squeeze, and move the handle of the fork in a circular motion. Works great!

    Juicers - Set The Juice Loose!

    I just bought a SWEET red 50s Juice-o-Mat. For cocktails, that's not really ideal, though.
