    Ladies, Bespoke: Ivey Abitz

    I have to say I like this dress. I would think though if you were a shorter larger girl like myself the end result would not be a great one. http://iveyabitz.com/2013fallwinter/images/6-1.jpg

    I've made a decision...

    I have also thought about getting a perm. My hair holds curl really well. My hair type would be the super fuzzy weird hair everyone had in the 70's.

    Flooring Pre 1950's Suggestions Please

    The house was remodeled in the early 50's so that would be our time period. I will show the plywood floors to my husband. In the upstairs and the hall there are built in cabinets that are plywood. That could be a cool tie in to the those.

Perfect right! The house largely is great. But there's unfortunate carpet in the living and dining...

    what type of outfit should my wife get?

    How about something like this? I bought a pair from this company and was very please with them. Plus if it's hot she could just wear a bandana or a snood and her hair would be ready for humidity. Keds for shoes and comfort and any cute button up shirt or Rue 21 actually has some pretty good...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Has anyone ever purchased Blyer shoes? I'm not 100% on what size to get. They say to order 1 full size bigger on the website. This is the style I will be ordering if that helps.
