    Vintage Films: Roadshow 1941

    This film was on Turner Classics tonight. The vintage fashions were really great to see. One, in particular, was worn by the female owner of the carnival, and I can't remember her name. Anyway, it was a flowered print, with a cross-over bodice; really cute! Does anyone else have favorite...

    Suggestions for Daughter and Vintage

    I've written before about our daughters and introducing them to vintage style. My teenage daughter, who is very much her own person, is now interested in learning how to adapt this look to herself. She is a mature 14, tall and "curvy" as she says. I grew up in the late '50's and '60's, so...

    What Vintage Sewing Project To Begin With?

    I'm definitely interested in attempting my vintage-inspired clothing project, but where to begin is another matter. While I'm not a novice seamstress, I get easily frustrated with the sewing. So would attempting an apron with some vintage fabric or vintage-type print fabric be the way to go...

    Vintage Inspired Shoes and Stiff Leather

    I have tried on various vintage-inspired shoes, the last ones were from Target. On all of them, the leather was very stiff, even hard, and so uncomfortable, I cannot imagine wearing them for any reason. Has anyone else had this problem? Is the leather on actual vintage shoes softer than...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    :) Does anyone know the shade of red for this product? Is it bright? Is it an orange-red or towards the blue-red color? Also, were the early Coty lipsticks heavy on the oils or wax? My mother used a red Coty lipstick during the early 1960's, but she can't remember what shade it was, just...

    Developing One's Own Style

    How did you decide which era or eras to adapt as your own vintage style? What motivated you? Are you a "purist" or do you incorporate various elements to make your own vintage style? I'm trying to avoid comments such as, "Why are you wearing that old thing?"lol Yours in vintage, Ccc
