Lizzie, I can't even put into words how much I agree with what you've said. I think everything about western society has gone downhill in the last half of a century and it's such a complex problem with so many systemic reasons that I don't know if it's anything that can ever be reversed. I hate...
I absolutely adore sweetheart pins and I've never been able to find one that was a) British and b) not insanely expensive. But I won this! Yay!
I think this may have started a mania in me. I need a RAF pin
If I actually take a tape measure around my bust, I'm 43" there (I'm quite busty) but I usually wear things that are 40-42" and it doesn't really cause any major problems. My boobs are mystifying! I usually have to go tighter in the bust because my waist is proportionately small (32" which...
I'm definitely already dreaming of spring clothes, heheh. I think it's good to buy them at this time of year. And I'm certainly planning my spring sewing.
I can't believe I got this suit for less than £40 including shipping! There are a few repairs that need doing but it needs pressing but it will be lovely!
I'm sort of mostly vegetarian. Sometimes people put meat in front of me and I feel guilty and eat it although I could never eat red meat without being sick and, to be honest, most people know not to give me meat. The biggest problem for me is that I am also gluten free so that makes life really...

This is incredible. It's far too small for me but I'm really hoping it goes to someone who will truly love it.
Hah, that reminded me of something that happened to me in church. One week I wasn't feeling so well so I wasn't all glammed up and a woman who I'd only met once before but who had complimented me on how I look came over and sort of semi-seriously said to me 'What happened to the red lipstick? I...
These images from the Christmas special look promising although some of the other images look definitely pre-war. But I'm forgiving them if they keep up this standard.
Yes, this was what I was wanting! I'm at least hoping for some amazing panniered robe de styles in the next series. Occasionally Edith would have something with the slightest hint of the fuller skirts of the end of the decade and one of Sybil's evening dresses was getting there but it never...
I watched a show on Savile Row tailors a few years back and they said that most of them keep all their patterns all the time. Seeing as some of them have been in operation since the early stages of the 19th century if not earlier - wow, they must have amazing collections.
Thank you so much for your help :) Actually, the buttons are the only fastenings the trousers have so they have to stay in the position they're in as I don't think a zip would be particularly flattering there. They are, however, in the same colour as the trousers so they're not too bad. I have...
I have a pair of Heyday! swing trousers and I love them but I just don't have the cahoneys to wear them. I have proportionately quite a big tummy (because of it, my hip measurement is 45" whereas my waist is only about 30" on a good day) and I feel REALLY self conscious of it. The trousers...
