Your birdie dress is fantastic! Enjoy.

What a great thread! Thanks, Inky.

I just bought this 30s dress from Etsy. It has bakelite buttons and is my size. Prettily small on mannequin: Laid out in plus size glory: I gave up a month of dining out, but I think that it will be worth it!

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'll experiment a bit.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has dryer recommendations for me. I would like to flip my ends up like Bree in early season Desperate Housewives. My hair is fine but thick, and it doesn't like to curl. Also, I'm clumsy with a brush and dryer. Has anyone tried hairdryers with round brush...

And an picture on my hand (several years old) with our dog Zoe:

Your ring is lovely! Here's my engagement ring. It's a 1920s garnet. We had a wedding band made to match. I'll see if I can find a good close up of it. Fun thread!

Oh, my gosh Miss Hannah, could that hat be any cuter? And you look perfect in it!

I don't even know if it's really original ( the dress, I mean). Here's what the seller said: "Up for a 5 day auction only is a great dress from the 40s-50s. Availible tag reads lot 48. Made from a simi sheer acetate blend floral print material. Top has a nice collar. Medium thick shoulder pads...

I just won this dress on ebay. It has a generous cut, so I have my fingers crossed that it will look nice on me. Anyway, I got it for a steal! What do you think?

VintageRed, you look fabulous!

I'm really appreciative of this part of the thread. I'm a size 22/24 plus size woman and a want-to-be sewer (seamstress seems too grand a word). Also, I want to add my admiration for Lady Day's website. I love it! I printed out all your style tips. Cleery

Oh, that's beautiful. It looks like it's from the 1910s. Thanks for posting it!

The new projects are stunning, ladies!:eusa_clap

Oh my gosh Miss Hannah, you look perfect in that suit! It looks so nice with your hair.
