    Anyone else interested in the ancient world?

    I used to do Roman re-enacting with my family, now the hubby still does it occasionally (we are all committed to WW2 homefront now!). It helps that we live in Chester, which was Roman 'Deva', a major British Roman town that still has the Roman walls surrounding it and a hypocaust under the...

    Jekyll and Hyde

    I think we are up to about episode 6.

    Jekyll and Hyde

    Anyone out there watching the new Jekyll and Hyde on ITV in the UK? If you haven't seen it, it's gory, scary and completely unsuited to a 7pm time slot - it got over 500 complaints on the first episode alone! Needless to say I do love it for all of those reasons. It's also very stylish, in a...

    Books about the Looks

    In case it hasn't been mentioned before, I heartily recommend 'The 1940's look' by Mike Brown for those of you in the UK. Excellent details on glasses, watches and umbrellas, etc, in addition to clothes.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm late to this thread, having been away for a while so apologies if this has already been mentioned, but my pet peeve is seeing any clothes post 1960 sold as 'vintage'. To my mind, that's strictly 'retro'. The amount of horrid 70's bri-nylon horrors and nasty 80's shell suits I see labelled as...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Poldark was the last thing I watched. I don't know if you get this Stateside yet, although it is made in conjunction with Masterpiece, but it is a swoonfest!

    High-profile / classic movies one's never seen

    I have never seen much of Mr Disney's classic output including Snow White and Bambi.(plus any of the more recent ones with the 'Disney Princesses' in). They were only on the pictures when I was a kid and my mum was too mean to take me!

    Dying bras

    What I really want is a peach longline 'Doreen' to match my other undies! They just don't do enough colours!

    Dying bras

    I think I'll have a go when my current bra is getting a little long in the tooth. I want to go a fairly light peach so I'm hoping it will work reasonably well!

    UK stocking suppliers

    I wound up giving WKD another try, mainly because I'm not that familiar with other brands!

    What vintage won't you wear?

    50's full skirts make me look huuuge! I can't wear 60's or anything with an shift or Empire line cut - I always look pregnant. Don't do manicured or long nails, I hate the way they feel and not suitable for my job either. Love shoulder pads though, it's a 40's cut all the way for me!

    Vintage beauty tips for when time and money are scarce?

    I get cheap fabric from Aberkhans. They are based in the NW so I am local but they do have a website too: http://www.abakhan.co.uk/fabric.html

    Midcentury Domestic to Post-modern Superwoman (Women Only)

    Thanks ladies! I'm having my house extended so it's a building site with little electricity, still working, and just getting ready to go to Florida, so very busy! I'm looking forward to having that extra day to get myself straight when I get back!
