I have only a few days to come up with an outfit for a Blanche Dubois type character circa 1947. I think I'm set on shoes, thank goodness, and purse. I still need hat, skirt/blouse/dress???, gloves and white fur boa (though it is set in the summer). I think I can fake the boa, but would love...

Hi ladies, I picked up this sports bra recently and wanted to recommend it. In the picture it looks rounded but in real life it gives a very lifted and pointy shape! And it is wire free if that sort of thing matters to you :)...

Not sure if someone else already discovered this, but I just discovered Spanx makes seamed hose, in nude and black! http://www.spanx.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4457249&cp=2992042.4060086&parentPage=family

Ugh, I hate the term "baby bump!" I go to a very ethnic church, and I started getting the "are you pregnant" questions about 2 months after the wedding. (I had had surgery and put on a few pounds) They honestly don't seem to understand why it is so insulting!

[/IMG] Help me choose accessories? I know it's not vintage (way too short) but to my eye it's very vintage inspired and I'd love some ideas on what to wear with it! (starting with , what color shoes???)

Just wanted to warn you all that Aromaleigh is closing. I know some ladies use their makeup and I thought you might want to stock up while she still has some stock. There is a 35% off sale ADIEU35 right now. I just bought some more Metamorphisis powder-it gives a nice pale glow.

garter belt question All I can seem to find are the weak rubber-button style garter belts- my mother had ones with serious metal clips. Anyone seen any of these?

Tap Pants Does anyone have a good source? I keep getting odd results when I try to search for them!

Is the title Cabaret Berlin? I didn't seem to find it when I searched...

good idea- thanks!

It's me again! I'm looking for real German Kabaret dancer pictures, pre- to mid-war. Real, not from the musical Cabaret. This time I'm playing a very naughty girl! Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction! (oh, if they're nsfw please tag it such and I'll look at home!)

Capezio's a good brand. I prefer leather: I've got the 2 inch T-straps and the 1.5 inch latin shoes (LOVE but require a stronger foot, since the sole is more flexible) Alot of dancers I know like the Bloch ones, but bloch doesn't fit me well. I also like Sansha's character shoes (like these...

I would do someithing lower for your first class. I do have character shoes that high, but it requires alot of ankle strength to be able to land jumps safely. You can always wear your high ones later!

This is the style I am looking for. Not bridal, though.

My mother wore felt skirts (No poodle) with up to 3 crinolines underneath, and the widest, tightest belt she could find. Alot of peter pan blouses, too.
