    FOR SALE: Pink Girdle w/6 Garters, Tan Rago Longline Bra

    I'm pretty sure the Crepe Suzette girdles aren't Rago. for one, they're a lot cheaper. If you look, you'll see the fabrics also aren't the same.

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    Cherry Lips, I agree. I LOVE makeup, I do. And I love the way I look in it. But I'm also lazy and value getting sleep more than I value being made up for people at work who could care less what i look like anyway. So I take the extra half hour of sleep in the morning and go au naturale to work...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    I agree. I personally think it's nice to see someone's simple beauty and not necessarily ALWAYS have to equate feminine beauty with being a painted peacock.

    Ladies, what is the ideal male for you?

    Being the eternal pessimist, I'm going to say that it's not worth thinking about much because the "ideal male" doesn't exist (not any more than the "ideal female"). Dreaming about the ideal often means that nothing will ever live up :-)

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Maggie, Sears has their own brand of bras (Enchanting) that I really like. They are a molded, seamless no-show bra. No frills, no padding and no back-roll either. The only frills are a little scalloped edge, and my black one has leopard print on the inside. Other than that, they are plain...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    It definitely makes a difference. I just saw the recommendation for a natural bristle brush, but I have better luck with a plastic bristle brush or a wide toothed comb. If you use a plastic bristle brush, don't use a cheap one though. It's important to have a good hairbrush. Also, I find it...

    Vintage Dresses (40s and 50s) and one Christmas Hostess Apron

    i'm interested in the sailor dress and the harlequin dress. Can you post measurements? Also, the polka dot sheath dress - is the fabric itself ripped or just the stitching? it's hard to tell from the photos. Also, measurements on that would be awesome.

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    this is great advice. I use an anti-frizz/shine pomade whenever I set my hair. I add the Lottabody and then on top of that I add the pomade. I know one of the other gals here has mentioned using Royal Crown.

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Well, for starters try making your pincurls larger, or try using a more traditional type of roller like hot sticks, sponge rollers or pillow rollers. Everyone has different methods that work for them, and I think every gal here can tell you that it takes a fair amount of experimentation and a...

    WTB Ladies 1920s Daywear

    From the PR FAQ: "* We are an open forum for both sexes but request that the men do not post in lingerie threads. Fellas, if there is a relationship thread in the Powder Room, we ask that you DONT post in it unless its specified." It's not rare for Fella to post in the PR :-)

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I was just looking at their site, and while their items are lovely, they use spiral bones. spiral bones offer the most flexibility of any of the bone types, but they aren't good for women wearing a C cup or more and they are the least supportive type of bone. This gives me the impression that...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Also, perspiration and body oils break down fabrics over time, and this is of special concern when it comes to delicate vintage fabrics. This is another way slips help protect your clothing. Most gals never realize when they step out the door that you can see their undergarments through...
