I thought it would be a nice idea to carry on the theme of 'Show us....' and add a selling thread. I know there is a classified section on the Fedora Lounge, but I find that anything for us ladies in there gets a bit lost within all the mens items, and it would be great to have a ladies only...

I have just listed some killer 1940s womens shoes in my etsy shop. They are all larger size, as unfortunately my feet have grown and they no longer fit (both strange and annoying!) If you send me a message saying your from the Fedora Lounge and whats my best price on items I'll work out a deal...

Why thank you! My shoes were actually from clarks last year (the originals range which does a few proper vintage inspired shoes every now and again), they remind me of the vintage kids sandals you see in pictures! I think they have redone them this year too which I'm pleased about! Yes white...

That quote reminds me of me at Detling last year sitting on the wartime beach display! I wore a rather pale 1930s elasticated swim suit, and pale colours do not go with my pasty complexion either haha! The swimsuit is fabulous however! I'm pretty sure I'm worrying about being sunburnt in this...

I just bought some Miss L Fire shoes too! They are the Land Girl style. When they first came out they had them in 3 colours and I would have loved the navy, but at £64.99 plus £5 postage on the Miss L Fire website I decided to leave them :( But I just got them in the black and red for only £32...

I'm looking to clean a checked 1940s wool skirt that has quite a few stains on it. I was thinking of having it dry cleaned but typically this process just doesn't get 70 year old stains out! So I will probably end up handwashing it (lukewarm water with soapsuds and dried flat after), would there...

Thank you :D!! x

Hi all, I haven't posted here before so don't know if this is the right place to put it, but i just entered a competition over here and was wondering if you lovely ladies would be willing to vote for me, or even cast a vote for any of the other glamorous ladies that have entered. I would be...

I think is also depends what lipstick you use with it. Nearly all of my lipsticks, including my rimmel and bourjois lipsticks work fine with it, allowing them to last all day. However I've tried lipcote with revlon's matte lipstick and it goes very sticky and clumps up, not a pretty site...

I love your hair and the way you've tied ithe ribbon in with your dress!!!

Love the dress and the remixs! I had a pair of in that style in the red but sold them due to being too small, really would love to get a new pair. Remixs are so comfortable and cute! :)

Wow, love that advert! I thought it was more modern too. Lipcote is such a great product that really does work, no wonder its been round for so long!

I was thinking exactly the same thing! I'm pale, normally ivory shades (creamy ivory in the Max Factor miracle touch foundation), but in the pan-cake makeup from the the US they only have neutral or tan shades?? I read somewhere that the shades look darker in the pot than on, but I don't want...

After reading Retro Makeup: Techniques for Applying the Vintage Look by Lauren Rennells, which is an amazing book by the way with gorgeous photos and great tips, I have become interested in the products they used back then. Its interesting to see that there are still some products out there...

Never posted in here before, but taking at look at the previous posts, everyone looks so smart and dapper! Not so much what I was wearing today, but I donned a new (to me!) late 40's mogashal dress in the cute spot print, and white wedges for a 1940s dance I went to last week. Unfortuantely I...
