    Where to put things...

    Silly me, I found the hat thread a few threads below this one. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=45439 How about storage for shoes and make-up, though?

    Where to put things...

    I've come to find I own quite a lot of hats and pairs of shoes, and I'm in need of a number of ways (preferably vintage methods) of storing them away for easy access. I like to see what options I have so I'd rather not stuff them all away in a box. I also need to find myself a few nice...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I just got compared to Barbara Stanwyck in an email. Without prompting, too! http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/381/barbarastanwyckud2.jpg

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    Thank you so much. I think I will go with the black. I've got the most lovely red ring to go with it, too.

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    How not to tear stockings I'm sorry if this has been previously addressed - I haven't seen it. See, I have the awful habit of always tearing stockings. I might catch it on furniture, I might rip it while putting them on, or if it's pantyhose, simply sitting might do it. How does a person do...

    The First Date.

    You've gotta be the envy of all the girls! I mean, could he be anymore of a dream? *sigh* From the sounds of it, the only thing that coulda made him more of a heartthrob was if he were dressed in vintage too. *sighs deeply* Oh, darn it, you've got me in a romantic mood now!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I got lots of compliments the last time I did it. Though I chickened out and said it was all to lure a friend of mine to uni to attend an important lecture. I'm sorry... :o I lack the personal strength to stand up for my rights to dress different. On the plus side, everyone said I looked...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    The way things are going, I might just have to use a black marker on my 5 for $10 light-coloured stockings. lol Oh well, it's somewhat 40s. Sure, it's not eyeliner and gravy, but it's make do and mend! I bought a set of seamed stockings. The package *looked* right. Turns out they were...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Oh, I wish I could afford a corset! They look divine but all seem to be around the half a grand price. At least the ones online look worth it, the ones in the only shop I know that stocks them are ugly as sin for the same price. Well, I suppose one can't expect a university student to be...

    Vintage Sleepwear

    Etsy.com ... that was the first time I've seen such an array of vintage-style brassieres. They do look quite different to todays clothes!

    Show us what you've made!

    You are all so impressive! I nearly fainted with envy to see the skills on the lounge. And to think how impressed I was that I managed to stitch white lace around the edges of a pair of gloves I got from Spotlight. Bravo!

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    The event is merely a halloween party and none of my friends would think it mattered but I'd like to know and now the question has soon come up. The gloves a shiny black and go halfway up the upper arm. The red ones just aren't as nice. I couldn't give pictures. A) Far too shy - what if it...

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    Gloves Must gloves match the dress? See, I've got a red halterneck dress and I'm going to wear a black beaded shawl with it (hard to explain) and black shoes. I wouldn't want to wear everything red with it simply because while the red is good for a dress, the shade isn't particularly nice for...

    Fake Melons

    When I'm slim, I'm a 10DD, at a higher weight, that's a 12E, and it's all natural. So remember, not all who look fake are fake - we got the back pain and the difficult bra hunts to prove it.

    Nightclubs

    Looking over these reviews - http://www.tipsontables.com/ - made me so jealous of all the lucky rich people in the olden days. Do nightclubs such as these still exist for all you big city types? Have you been in them? How are they different from regular nightclubs? I wonder what sort of...
