    Vintage lady grumpiness...

    I'm sorry. My comment was a little unclear. I didn't mean to say at all that all people who are against fur are ill-informed or ignorant. It's just that I'm constantly beseiged by people who condemn me for wearing fur but can't give me a reason other than "it's bad". It's these people I have a...

    Strapless dress/bra emergency

    Yes, I suppose you're right there. It might just have to be a case of searching up and down for a very well fitting bra. Though, as I said, if push comes to shove, you could always throw on a stole or wrap etc.

    Getting very long hair to hold curl

    Don't worry, it's nice to hear that some people don't actually want to see long hair chopped off. All I seem to get is "it would look so much better short". Either that or they think I'm weird or fussy for not wanting to put heat on it. Pillow rollers is actually a method I've never heard of...

    Strapless dress/bra emergency

    She could try and overbust corset if she's up for it. When they're laced properly, they distribute fat around the body so it should deal with the underarm bulges. Be careful not to lace too tight though, or you could end up with either extreme cleavage or a fainting bride on your hands. If all...

    Vintage lady grumpiness...

    My sentiments exactly. It seems so senseless to waste vintage fur. Ignore the ignorant, ill-informed people who tell you "it's bad to wear fur". They're just looking for something to rail against. The only other thing about vintage that really bothers me is the current glut of 1980's tat in...

    Before and After Vintage

    Kamikat I can't get over how stunning those photos are! The finger waves in the second vintage picture look amazing on you. Also, a little off topic but what a beautiful dog lol.

    Getting very long hair to hold curl

    I'm pretty new to the forums and I'm not sure if it's been covered before but here goes. My hair is super long, it's about 41in and just past my tailbone. As much as I love Louise Brooks bobs and Veronica Lake waves, I'd never dream of cutting it. I won't use heat on it so I've tried every...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Last week I got the strangest compliment I've ever had, vintage or otherwise. I was wearing a navy, sailor top. The type with the squared bow collar and white piping. It has little silver stars on the shoulders and I love it. It's from 1946 so I'm careful to wear it only occasionally. I wore it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Citizen Kane and Heavenly Creatures. Both magnificent films and both featuring Orson Welles in one way or another. He is, in my opinion, the best director ever to have lived.

    What are you listening to?

    I was playing bioshock 2 yesterday when I started humming along absent mindedly. I then realised that I what I was listening to and got all excited! This was one of my favourite's from my Grandma's record collection when I was small. Apparently, I'd sit by the record player and listen to this...

    Hourglass figure

    Yes, technically, you're pear shaped but with measurements that close, you'll appear hourglass to everyone. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I mean, a 25.5in waist!?. Those are some vital statistics to be proud of.

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    The best desicion I ever made was to start taking care of my skin properly. Up until a few months ago, I had no discipline about it. I'd regularly go to bed and forget to take my makeup off and I'd wonder why my skin was terrible. Now I can't fall asleep until I've cleansed, toned, moisturised...

    Ladies, What kind of vintage car would you love to cruise in?

    A Black 1949 Ford Coupe. It makes me think of stoic detectives and cat like femme fatales. I'll post a picture when I figure out how lol.

    Long 1950's hairstyles?

    http://rapunzelsresource.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/faux-short-pony-tail/ I hope this helps. This girl is wonderful. She has a really big index of beautiful styles. This one might be what you're looking for. My hair is just past my tailbone and I use this style all the time, it really works...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I very rarely wear lipstick as I think it makes me look like a child trying to wear my mum's makeup but I do have a tube of mac (no. 11- Dubonet) and it doesn't look half bad. Red's a hard one to get away with. I'm jealous of all you girl who look wonderful with it lol.

    Hourglass figure

    Tourbillion is completely right, It's defined by an equal measurement of bust and hips and a waist 10" smaller than that. Saying that though, I'm 41-31-41 and believe me, it's a nightmare finding jeans. Be careful what you wish for lol.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello, I'm Hannah. I'm a student from the UK. I actually found this forum while I was doing a google search for how to do pincurls and I fell in love with it. I love 1920's up to 1940's in particularthough my idols are probably Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish. I look forward to chatting with...
