12, for me. Which was also when I started working outside of my parents home. Customers regularly called me ma'am at the time ( I was traveling with the carnival, so this was a varied cross-section of America locations). At the time, people would frequently mistake me as my 5 year old cousin's...

I actually have seen this done before, for exactly the reason someone else mention, a physical mark on the other side of the face. I had a girl in my family (1900-1920, approx)that was born with a drooping left side of the face, in all formal portraits she's photographed as a right profile. I've...

I like the red! Have you considered trying henna? My hair is natural pretty close to your natural shade and I have gotten pretty good red results with henna, plus its healthy for your hair and the environment, and you get to play with mud! Plus the upkeep isn't as bad, even though you'll get...

I think the best advice for deciding to get a tattoo has been said many times now, wait a bit and really think it through! That being said, I think we really have two different types of folks here posting... those who wear vintage/dress vintage for their own enjoyment, and those who do for...

I've tried the pattern once, pictures and my review of it can be seen at the bottom of this page: http://whynotthen.com/Main/WWIIAndBeyond

Too cute! Well, they got women wearing trousers right, and all the gizmo's the guys toting can be his Ipod, cellphone, blackberry, etc...

Question 1 Where/who do you usually buy special pieces/luxury lingerie from? Why? Special pieces to me would be reproductions of vintage underwear. I wouldn't consider any of my stuff to be luxury. For reproductions, I usually sew my own, but I have used various reproduction-esqe makers...

I haven't found that accurate with modern clothing scales. While I am a 10-12 in modern "miss", there isn't a juniors item on the planet that fits my curves! I've been under the impression that junior is cut for less-developed (ie, little to no curves) while miss is cut for developed figures? In...

What part of the Victorian Era are you looking for? Styles changed in 60 plus years! If you are looking for mid-Victorian (1850s and 60s) boots, Robert Land has the most amazing reproductions: http://www.robertlandhistoricshoes.com/servlet/Categories?category=1861-65+women%27s+shoes

There is a vintage clothing store in Pittsboro called Beggars and Choosers. Fabulous store! Unless you are my size, in which case, don't ever go there. ;-) It's about a 2 hr drive from Winston-Salem, maybe a little less.

Very neat link!! Thanks for posting it! *wipes drool off of keyboard*

Ditto on the Nick and Nora line! I love their PJs. I got a set of 100% silk pajamas off a clearance rack last year at Target. Love them! The cotton they use it absouletly sumptious too!

Those brown shoes are so adorable! Ahh, just what I need, more shoes to wish I had!!

Aww. The future was much cuter than it really is. Even the pants outfit looked better.

I'll admit, I seldom wear a belt. Only if the original dress came with it or if I goof on the waistline of a dress I am sewing. (a belt will hide many a sewing mishap). I like the way belts look and used to wear them all the time. Oh, I had a few of those belt kits Lizzie was talking about...
