I also named my fox stole! It seems so nice to wear one when it has a name :)

Having worked for a clothing designer, I understand the prices! So I don't think she's out of line, especially since I have a lot of sewing to do before I could sew and finish a garment that well. I know many of you already sew fantastic garments for yourself. I especially like the wedding...

Lina, no worries! Your idea sounds like it would be a good one. We've talked about running a humidifier anyway, just to keep from turning into raisins! I love your new fur clip! Not sure how one would wear it. I think attaching it to your dress is fine. Otherwise, I suppose you attach it to...

Just saw this thread and I'm not sure how I missed it! So, may I ask a couple of fur-keeping questions? I have several beautiful fur and fur-cashmere coats, collected over the years. The real beauty is my great-grandmother's seal coat, a boxy 1940s style with mandarin stand-up collar...

So wonderful to find out about all these lovely vintage blogs :) Here is my blog: http://missflorasflat.blogspot.com I am attempting to blog more frequently starting Jan 2nd, especially after seeing how many wonderful posts you all post on a daily and weekly basis. Also, I have a new blog...

I'm really not certain where I should post this question but... here goes: I have a nice collection of vintage women's fur coats, including my great-grandmother's valuable seal coat. I've recently located to Colorado, but I left my furs back at my parents' home in Nebraska. How can I...

My goal is to get skinny. I went through 2+ years of stressful events. Such things usually cause me to lose weight. I gained nearly 40 pounds. It's taken me a few months, but I've lost 25 pounds and have another 15 pounds left to lose. Lost it all the old fashioned way by counting calories...

I didn't even see that pattern! My post got moved to join this thread and I didn't really look. It's not the same in the back, but I think (hope!) I could alter it. Thank you, darling, for the suggestion!

I started using Ulta's brand of sunless moisturizing lotion (it's actually a sunless tanner, but they call it sunless moisturizer). It usually retails $6.99. Gives a light sandy tan and doesn't go orange. If you watch, you can get buy one get one free, plus free shipping over $10. (I usually...

Personally, I love the look of a tan. I mean, so many stars, including Audrey and Sophia, look amazing with a tan! I've actually had friends discourage me from tanning; they like that I pull off the "Snow White" look of fair skin, dark hair, and red lips. However, my doctor has prescribed...

I will gladly take Mui Mui's 1940s looks instead of the 1980s rehash I see being sported: jeggings with crop tops and metallic or neon shoes. I would love to see designers do something new and fresh. However, it seems like the best stuff–to me anyway–has already been done. Some designers idea...

Looking for vintage pattern rec Hi girls! I'm looking for a vintage pattern rec that would be similar to this dress: Anyone have any good ideas? I've done some searching, but haven't come up with anything close.
