Footwear for Winter
I found these really cute boots, they are beautiful on and very reminiscent of vintage galoche. The leather even has a matte, rubber-like surface treatment. It's a Danish brand named Shoebiz, and they sell them in this online shop. PM me if you need help. :) They cost 1000 DKK, which is about...- Laura Chase

Can you help me date this item??
That makes a lot of sense and explains why it's black! I just didn't think that maids would wear such frilly pinafores. :) If anyone has photos of anything like this, please do share. I also have to add that it's not open in the sides like an apron but closed like a full dress (which I intend...- Laura Chase

Can you help me date this item??
Black 40's pinafore? Hi ladies, Recently I bought a dress on eBay, I love it, but it strikes me as kind of strange: it's a black (supposedly) 40's pinafore. I love black, cotton and dresses that are sculptural so I had to have it, but I have doubts as to whether it's authentic vintage. Have...- Laura Chase

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
I love NARS' shades but am not always in the mood for the dry texture. The lipsticks did not mix well with my regular lip-balm, at all, but then I bought a beeswax lip-balm and it works great with NARS lipsticks! :)- Laura Chase

Wonderful! Are those truly high-waisted? They look like they sit a little bit under the waist on the mannequin.- Laura Chase

Show us your hair do's....
First of all, that hairdo requires quite long hair, to the middle of the back at least. And you need a good thick rat or extra hair to attach to your own. Also, since it sits so low on the back, I don't understand how you would attach it? Unlike a normal back roll, which sits higher, that one...- Laura Chase

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Anyone else adore NARS Shanghai Express? It's a wonderful shade of red, it doesn't pop and overpower like say red hot red or even russian red but creates this lovely velvety deep color that is great for everyday use. But the consistency is very dry, so I apply it gently with a brush, otherwise...- Laura Chase

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
Anachronist is beautiful, auditorily, but doesn't it have quite a negative connotation? I mean, the words "anachronism" and "anachronistic" are mostly used in a negative sense, kind of like "old-fashioned". In everyday language, it has a connotation of misplacement, error. Just take this into...- Laura Chase

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
Sylvanrealm is right in pointing out that some corsets are made to emphasize curves more than others. Historically, corsets had different shapes, and this is reflected in the models of corsets available today. As an easy example, here are three very differently structured models from What Katie...- Laura Chase
