Not cheap but some great 20s and 30s looking shoes, and most are very comfortable. Hotter shoes http://www.hotter.com/us/en?otrack=cpc&cm_ven=google&cm_cat=ppc&cm_pla=Brand%20-%20Core&cm_ite=hotter&gclid=CKmIlLPEjMgCFQaNaQod54EBhw

Long fancy version was a hostess gown

Thank you Miss Moonlight. I've saved all those pages just in case!

I grew up with the sanitary pads and elastic belts in the early 60s. The pads were at least 1/2 " thick and maybe 7" long inside a sort of gauze sleeve that extended about 4 inches longer than the pad on each end. The unpadded ends were threaded thru the little metal buckle things (with teeth to...

The thing is, any decision you make now does not mean you will be stuck with it the rest of your life. Maybe at some point you'll want to finish the PR degree, or decide to carve canoes, or bake cupcakes or whatever. It may be more difficult to go back to school in the future but lots of people...

Black Dahlia, I just bought the top shoes too! Haven't worn them yet though.

My friends and I walked through downtown Los Angeles yesterday, about 6 blocks from a vintage movie event to a restaurant and 6 blocks back to our car. We were in vintage pieces and vintage inspired and we must have gotten 20 or more compliments, from young, old, men and women. One young man...

My eternal quest. You either find them totally flat, too high, too clunky. The real '30s managed to make them look casual, feminine, elegant and fine for walking. These don't look as vintage perhaps but they get good reviews: http://www.zappos.com/cobb-hill-sheila-black...

They fit and wear exactly how you would expect a $24 shoe to be. Great if you plan not to walk or wear them much. They will last several days of heavy walking. Much longer if you don't walk too much. Not bad comfortwise.

I said NEVER to late 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s but I keep getting talked into going to events in those eras, and buying and making clothes for those eras. I need more closets! Never say never!

This company has a few great looking shoes. And some come in extra wide too! Hotterusa.com They have the super hard to find low heel high vamp pump like the 30s http://www.hotterusa.com/en-us/SPRING-2014/Signature-Heels/98860_donna-heelsand some comfortable 20's looking heels...

That's really cute Amy Jeanne!

DavinaDoll, that jacket is to die for! Probably part of a suit originally. If it's too big for you I would be happy to take it off your hands!

I want the ones with the American Eagle above the heel!

I had no idea they had all those in the 1940's. I wonder if ordinary women bought them, or just dancers and maybe a certain class of ladies? The 2 at the top are called show girl and stage door. "Eye catching" and "sure to be noticed" are two descriptive phrases used. I sure haven't seen any in...
