Sorry folks - it seems I have caused offence by posting a link to an auction for something masquerading as an item of WWII uniform, when quite clearly it was not. This item was not mine (thank goodness), and I certainly was NOT touting for bids on it! It seems I have misunderstood the...

Ummmm..... in a funny old sort of a way ...... reminds me a bit of the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! :D V xx

Hiya Paul I bet your waist is there somewhere!! You're being modest!!! I'm pretty - erm..... "voluptuous" - ahem :o - so after years of struggling and breaking my heart over 40s fashions I've sort of drifted into late 40s (New Look) and early 50s - with the waspie waists etc. I've got...

Hi Jess - sounds like you have your hands full!! I go for: Wide leg slacks (plenty in the shops at the moment) Twin Sets (Short sleeved sweater and cardigan) Puff-sleeved blouses with a button collar or sweetheart neckline Vintage inspired shoes (round toes, wedges, ankle straps -...

Ride out the enquiring looks - enjoy your interesting status!! They go with the territory - I've had several odd looks in Asda (erm... your Walmart!)... Enjoy being different!! V xx

I'm in total agreement with you Angelicious - I'm a 42E and have the same problems!! Keep your eye on Ebay - quite a few "Doreens" come up for grabs on there - on the UK site. V xx

Hmmmmmmmmmmm .... well, I take a UK 7 aswell Maisie. Most charts tend to indicate that this is a US 9/10, but most of the vintage 10s I have bought from ebay tend to "nip" a bit after a few hours, or be tight across the bridge of my foot - ouch! :( I don't have a particularly narrow foot...

Hi Gals! Only just spotted this - I'm still new and finding my way around! I've had three pairs of wedgies from Phil at Remix. I've found them all very comfortable - but I do tend to find they run a wee bit long for me, so I tend to size down. Honestly though - I haven't found anything...

Hi Fleur - I just recently purchased an open bottom corselet from shapelyfigures.com (don't laugh!! lol ) - it comes to a couple of inches down the thigh (where I REALLY have trouble), but also sits pretty high up on the waist. I'll post you the link through. Also - have you had a look at the...

Hi Fleur!! Welcome - another Limey!! ;) You sound like me in approach to clothes etc - I scour the shops for retro inspired, and have repro garments custom made - when I DO find an original to fit, they are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too precious to wear for every day! Look forward to hearing...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Look at number 1's little sandals!!! :whistling V xx

Yep - something strange this way comes!! :eek: Can't wait!!! V xx

Hi Matt! The next Doctor's dress sense is rather more "timeless" - you'll see what I mean when you get the next series with David Tennant. If you're still on the Eccleston series, look out for the WWII two-parter! Some good fx, and - as Rick says - some pooky-ooky moments!! And - okay -...

Hmmmmmmmm....... I've had a good mooch, and it looks like you're right - I can't seem to find any US sites selling the Triumph range. However - I'm not a whizz on the internet, so I may have missed something. Will have a hunt! V xx

Fabulous!! Well done!! V xx
