Just bought this really cute pattern:

I figure I could make an adorable blouse out of the bodice too. When I go home this summer I'm going to learn how to sew for real (finally!).

Oh!

imoldfashioned,
that pattern for evening dress is just the kinde I have being looking for! I'm feeling a bit forward her, seeing I'm so new to the lounge, but if I can't find a similar one would you mind me maybe asking for a copy in the future?

Hello GreyandWhiteCat,

Welcome to the Lounge! You aren't forward at all, of course I'll be happy to make a copy of that pattern for you. It should arrive in a week or two. Just PM me with your address.

Best,

IOF

Fantastic picture! The glasses are lovely but the hat, my god, the hat!

 

[goldwyn girl]

goldwyn girl, I'm going to wear it as soon as it arrives to the club I go to, which happens to be goth even though I'm not. Black is so cliche, rather.

You will surely be a stand out success in that dress.

wowandflutter, great glasses.

Ditto what everyone else said. That is one fabulous picture, wowandflutter!

Well it's no match for Wowandflutter's hat (amazing!) but it did only cost $13 at Target. It's pretty much exactly what I need for a car show I'm attending this weekend.

Love the glasses wowandflutter,
fftopic: I have been wanting to buy a vintage pair like these but don't know if the round lenses suit my face shape. I have a somewhat triangle face shape (a cross between a square and a round I believe) . I think I read somewhere that certain face shapes should wear certain lense shapes, does anyone know if that's true and if so what shape could I wear.

Ditto again!! Awesome hat and glasses!

Here's my latest, got them today and they fit like a dream!! What's odd is that the three buttons are all stitched with the same thread... if I lost one I'd lose them all! Weird!

my hat was also an exciting thrift store find for $3, but those sorts of hats are in this year... i also saw some similar ones for not-too-much at forever 21.

thanks for all the compliments ladies !!

I purchased a beauty book on ebay and found out unusual things about the writer. Olga Tschechowa was a German actress with russian roots and she was said to be Hitlers favourite actress.

While she seemed to be on good terms with him it she was actually a spy for the Sovjets trying to get information out of him. After the war she tried to start a own theater and since a own beauty salon. The theater wasn´t a hit, but the beauty salon worked fine enough to start a own line of beauty products and a handfull of beauty books.

Sounds pretty much like a Hollywood spy-movie, huh?

Anyway I bought one of her beauty-books and I consider getting a biography of hers since she sounds very interesting.

484 pages with hints on beauty, fashion and health.

Sari what a neat find!!
