    Cosmopolitan UK September Issue, Featuring Lounge members

    Ha! This is what made me laugh. I bought this the other day (erm... because I actually do buy these magazines- sorry, don't hate me!) and noticed the article. I don't think it is particularly awful. I mean, yes the photograph was a poor choice and they weren't exactly accurate in their...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I'm not sure if I've said this before but someone out there has a photo of me and a friend eating Quavers on a bench along the Thames. She just stood there right in front of us and started snapping away, not even attempting to hide the fact, and then walked off again without a word.

    Ben Stephens, you appear to be from my neck of the woods. I never would have believed there to be another Fedora Lounger in Rushmoor!

    WOW!!! That kitchen is amazing! I've just shown my fiance and said "I don't care what you think, when we buy a house our kitchen is looking like this!". The bathroom is lovely too. So pretty!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I wish people wouldn't shout at me out of cars- if they're going to shout abuse, I'd like to at least be able to understand what they're saying! I was once walking to the train station- a 15 minute walk- and no less than 4 cars beeped at me. Although I have no idea why [huh] Going back to...

    Plus Size Vintage

    I've seen some in Evans before. They don't appear to be selling them at the moment, at least not on their website, but it might be worth keeping your eye out for some.

    1940's overalls

    For currency, I just google usd to gbp... So, if something is $40, I type 40usd to gbp in the Google box and Google calculator answers for you. It comes up before any search results with the answer in bold. I don't know what the Canadian, Australian etc equivalents are (cad, aud?) but give it...

    Show us your Horrockses dresses!

    My Grandma loves Horrockses. She had one as a young girl, a blue and white stripy one. It cost a lot of money and I think it was a birthday present from her father. Her teacher used to wear them and she loved them so much that all she wanted for her birthday was a Horrockses dress...

    Vivien of Holloway

    The waists are pretty much as fitted as fitted can get. I think your best option would be to go up a size at the bust to it fits around the waist although I'm not sure how that would look.

    Vivien of Holloway

    Hello! I have several and I have found them to be fine. If you're buying online, you choose your size by measurements so there's no worry about getting the wrong size. If you're going into a shop, be aware that they size by vintage sizes so you will need to buy a size or two up. I'm sure the...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I got a hole in one of my vintage dresses and took it for my Grandma to mend. She got a bit of fabric in a similar colour and some iron-on wonderweb and stuck the fabric to the back of the hole, fiddling with the frays so they were sort of "weaved" and disguised the hole. It worked...

    Sara Jessica Parker's Hat

    If you are going to wear a hat like that whilst shopping in a pink t-shirt, of course you'll get odd looks (which is what that picture seems to imply: "Look how silly this hat is. Passers-by are looking on in bemused disgust"). It looks completely out of place. Where it with a black cocktail...

    Price of vintage on the up!

    Yep, those evil evil charity shops! You'd think they were trying to help people or something. How dare they be so selfish and scam us out of our cash :rolleyes:

    Crochet anyone?

    So true! I always said I was going to get my Grandma to teach me to make clothes. I finally ambushed her in April and she spent the day helping me and teaching me her tricks. Since then she's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease so I don't know how much longer she'll be able to make clothes...

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Oh, Gingerella, you've brought tears to my eyes! What an absolutely wonderful story- it almost sounds like a film! How lovely that they have been together so long and what beautiful photos too.
