It was an Ebay steal for $20. It is original according to the hatmaker who took a look at it. The details are beautiful, with the velvet edging, ribbons and fake flowers. The ostrich feathers are much more full than any modern ones I've seen. It was probably a nice hat in its day and luckily its...

Hopefully you don't mind some more modern photos of Edwardian hats in addition to the beautiful vintage cards. I'm in love with Edwardian hats, the bigger the better! Here I am with my biggest hat, although I wish I had enough hair for a Gibson girl style to really get the look down.

I had a WAAF cap made by Sanjay at Replicators and it was so bad I had to rip it apart and make a new one. It somewhat resembled a WAAF cap, but it was a complete disaster. I hope he knows men's RAF uniforms alot better than he knows women's RAF uniforms! I suppose you could try to get a uniform...

Thank you everyone for your help! BeBopBaby- I LOVE your hat! I'm going to look for something similar, I thin kthat would look perfect with the suit. Texasgirl- Thanks for the picures of the hats and shoes! That helps alot. I'm off to Ebay to find a parasol and a blouse!

I know this is a little earlier than the Golden Era, but I need help with how to put this outfit together! I'm aiming for a WWI era look. I've always wanted a walking suit and I'm thrilled that I just found this at an antique store. If anyone could help me date the suit and wear the proper hat...

I wasn't ambitious enough to make my own, so I bought one from this website... http://www.headcovers.com/item.php?cat=Hats+%26+Turbans&next=0 Its the best solution for when you don't have time to do your hair!

What were you trying to treat with the aspirin mask? The theory behind the mask is that aspirin and salicylic acid are both derived from the same source so its thought that the same acne fighting qualities of the salicylic could possibly be found in aspirin. On another note, don't do salicylic...

This is where I got my 40's cake topper from. It was restored and it was absolutely gorgeous. http://home.att.net/~design-house/vintage_cake_toppers_entry.htm And here's a picture of it on the big day...

Love this thread! I'll share some of mine. The 1915 Mosin Nagant and the 1898 Krag are mine, and the Enfield is my husband's. He also has an Enfield revolver. My dad collects guns and now he's passed the hobby down to me.

Well, I actually wore this yesterday, but close enough! I wore a Surfriders dress to a car show and my husband was kind enough to let me sit on his tire, haha!

I am the lead clinician in a medical facility that specializes in pulsed light hair removal. I've had just about my whole body done and I am loving it! I was previously an electrologist prior to working with the IPL. I prefer the IPL since its ALOT less painful than electrolysis and covers a...

That's exactly what my grandma used to do! She is from Paris and lived there during WWII. She used to buy cork soles in the style of wedges and then attach fabric uppers so they were peep-toe slingbacks. I have a picture of her wearing a pair. They looked like white canvas. I also thought of...

I just bought some of these pants from Metrostyle. Not all that authentic, but at least they're a wide-leg silhouette. Also they are quite cheap. Some of the colors, like the hunter green, are 40's looking...

I think these are cute fur-topped boots... http://www.metrostyle.com/product.aspx?PfId=92669&DeptId=8903&producttypeid=1&PurchaseType=0
