    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    When I went in this weekend to get fitted at an old lady lingerie store, I was told I needed a 34B, not a 36B. Even something as seemingly insignificant as a single band size made a HUGE difference!

    Have you been fitted? You could be wearing the wrong size.

    foam rollers vs velcro rollers?

    Not all pillow rollers have wires in them - mine don't.

    foam rollers vs velcro rollers?

    Definitely! Half of the art of setting is in the comb-out/brush-out!

    I mistyped!! Thanks for the correction. Yes, the loosest hooks.

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I'm not the person to ask - I keep my bras way longer than I should lol This is typical of all bras, underwire or not. The elastic will loosen up over time. That's why, when you buy a bra, you should make sure it fits on the *tightest* set of hooks, so you have room to move it as it...

    Damn. This doesn't seem to even come in anything smaller than a 36 :(

    Huh, I've had the exact opposite finding. Most nice vintage girdles are very expensive and most newer Rago girdles I find are at comparable prices to Girdlebound or other stores. I looked forever for a deal on a Rago waist cincher and never found it.

    Awesome. The Rago corselette has never worked for me. Now I've realized that it's probably because I was ordering the wrong size cups. I may try again. Nothing vintagey. I was just getting basics (2 plunge pushups, 2 balconettes, 2 seamless). There's a very, very pretty Maidenform lace...

    foam rollers vs velcro rollers?

    I've completely stopped brushing out my curls. Try using a large toothed comb instead to comb out each curl individually. Then you can use the comb or maybe a brush to put everything into place. You mean.... an updo? lol Of course it's fine.

    Oil Cleansing Method

    Um, you just rub it into your skin, same as you would for any cleanser or facial mask. We're not talking rocket science here lol

    Makeup remover-anyone make their own?

    Just use Oil Cleaning Method.

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Hey there gals, a little something I discovered this weekend that I thought I'd share.... I went on a mad bra shopping spree and had been looking at bras at Macy's. Then I went to Sears and discovered that Sears has the *exact* same styles (for Maidenform and Vanity Fair) in the same fabrics...

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    Or as Miss Bella Hell suggested in another thread, keep some sunscreen in your car to use on your hands :)

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I would just try washing them in a delicates wash like Hosiery Mate - most stuff comes out of stockings pretty easily. You should wash vintage stockings in something like this before you wear them anyway - sometimes the fibers get brittle with age and special washes will help restore the elasticity.

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    If you're getting saggy stocking ankles, your stockings are the wrong size. Note that all thigh-high stay-ups aren't the same! If you buy cheap ones with a narrow band at the top, you will get the thigh-bulge. To avoid this, you need thigh-highs with a wide welt at the top. Many are also...

    Halloween Costumes

    I have no idea. I have absolutely NO imagination when it comes to halloween costumes. Also, I have no budget this year. My odd hair makes it a little more difficult, but I look terrible (and I do mean terrible) in wigs. I do have a couple of flapper-ish dresses that I never wear, and good...

    Highlighting Hair for Roll contrast Help Please!!

    I know this totally isn't what you're looking for, but: Highlights around your face will show up best in rolls. I don't think it looks weird when worn down at all. Also keep in mind that highlights usually aren't done just on the top layer, so you will also get some of those throughout your...
