    Boston Style

    I saw this in the paper last week. I was disappointed - I know people here in Boston who have more style than all of these folks put together.

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Have you tried yoga at all? It completely transformed my posture in a pretty short amount of time. See, my experience has been different. I don't wear waist cinchers, but my posture did improve even when I just started wearing a panty girdle.

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    Dry cleaning? Next time wear an apron. I learned that one the hard way.

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    That's a good point. I would tend to think that it shouldn't be a problem to wear tummy support as long as one remembers to exercise to focus on developing that area as well.

    Before and After?

    So many great photos here, gals! One of these days I'll get around to posting my own :-) Also, those photos of Dita are amazing. Look at all of her freckles! i wonder what she uses to cover them all up?

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Often this just comes down to a matter of personal preference! Looks like you need shaping all the way through the midsection, so i would go with a corselette or a full long-leg shaper that has cups included. The other option would be a high-waisted girdle that comes to just under your bust. And...

    vintage tobacciana?

    Maybe there's another thread on this sort of thing that I just can't find.... I'm looking for information about vintage cigarette boxes - you know, the kind people might have had on their coffee table for offering a cigarette to a visitor. In Mad Men, Don Draper has a metal one on his...

    Do you wear curlers in front of your Significant Other?

    Yes. Whoever I'm with needs to learn to appreciate the fact that it takes time for me to look nice for him, especially if we're going out and he's going to be seen with me on his arm. He can just learn to deal. If he can see me first thing in the morning without makeup on, there's no reason why...

    foam rollers vs velcro rollers?

    Oh come now, we all know that all rollers look ridiculous lol Neat. These are pretty much the exact same thing as pillow rollers.

    Moonbeam 1950's Repro Clocks – Check your Big Lots!

    Really? I've been quite happy with mine. The only thing I don't like is that it's hard to set the alarm time accurately. Have you checked Ebay lately?

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I just won this baby for less than $40! Only bidder. Not positive it's vintage (it has a nylon zipper, but they sewed in a white zipper with red thread, which leads me to believe that it's a replacement). I guess I'll really find out when I get it. Regardless, I'm in love! I just hope it fits...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I haven't noticed. Then again, Marilyn Monroe often didn't wear a girdle either - this is especially noticeable in "Some Like It Hot".

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I've tried those Exquisite Form and Cross Your Heart bras and they just don't fit right! Have the same problem with those as with bullet bras - cut into my chest at the top of the cups, and have too much extra space in the tips of the cup:-/

    Are there ladies present who have non-retro bf's, husbands?

    Joie de Vivre is totally right! The key is not asking him to change. You fell in love with him for the person that he is, not the person you want him to be, and you shouldn't forget that. Also, it's really important for each person to have their own hobbies and individual tastes. You may need to...

    Women's 50s Sheer and Party Dresses, Skirt, Top

    Wow, I love the shirtwaist but wrong size :( What are the measurements of the black shirt? Also, let me know if the pink skirt doesn't sell - if no one else wants it, I might be interested assuming I can have it altered.

    The ones that got away

    I lost out on this one - wool/angora/nylon mix. Was listed as 70s but it doesn't really look 70s to me.

    CLOCHE HATS FOR LESS THAN 20 BUCKS!!!

    The FL Jewelry & Other Things Match Up

    Check very, very carefully! I have a Coro necklace with that same blue shade of plastic. It has a similar style hook clasp and the only mark is on the hook itself, where it says "Coro" in script so small it's almost invisible to the naked eye. Try taking another look with a magnifying glass.
