Hi ladies, I have a lot of patterns (vintage and non vintage) already so to try and save a bit of money i altered a modern pattern i had to try and make a vintage style skirt. I got the idea for the style from a skirt i saw my nan wearing in a photo from the late 40s. It was an easy pattern, so...

Hello, I'm 21. I first started getting into vintage style when i was 15. I started to like 1940s/50s hairstyles after my dad became interested in WWII living history and i started listening to a local 'rock and roll' radio show. It slowly grew from there and over the years i have gotten involved...

Benny Goodman, perfect on a sunny day like today. Jungle blues, Room 1411 (goin to town) playing next.

Pedals and Petticoats: On the road in post-war Europe By Mary Elsy Fascinating true story of how 4 women from Britain in 1950 decided to cycle through Europe, camping in a tent for accommodation. 3,000 mile trip through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, France etc. with all their...

'The Wicker Man' (the one with Nicolas Cage). No where near as good as the original. Very disappointed.

Quote: H johnson - "the film to which you refer was 'Odette' (1950) starring Anna Neagle..." Thanks, I'll try and find it. Don't know if you already know about this or if it is included in the exhibition but, I had a look on the Pathe newsreel website: www.britishpathe.com and typed in...

Odette Churchill is real inspiration to me. Her story is amazing. To go through all that she did and survive it just shows how strong she must have been. Its a terrible shame alot of other agents didn't survive but, Odette was able to be a spokesperson and helped keep their memory alive after...

Gilda Rita Hayworth wears some fantastic dresses in this film. Soooo jealous.

This is what i wore today. Vintage inspired rather than anything actually vintage. Sorry about the bad picture, the weather has been very gloomy and dark today. t -shirt from H&M, skirt - Dorothy Perkins, belt- charity shop, Cardigan - knitted by myself from 1940s pattern.

Hi ladies, i got these shoes in Marks and Spencers the other day. A bit pricey (£39) but worth every penny. Super comfy and they're wide fit! I think they have a great vintage look. I have the grey pair but they also come in black too.

Lady Day, Wow! thanks for posting these, what a fantastic collection. I love the 'warm lined bootees', could really use a pair now its getting colder.

Swinggal, this top is just fantastic! Great find, i love it!

Hi, My name is Emma, i'm 20 and i live in Wiltshire, UK. Been interested in anything (music, films, clothes etc) from the 1920s - 1950s but, mainly the 1940's for a few years now. I also love to knit and sew from vintage patterns and i participate in WWII living history. This is a great forum...

Lokar, Mostly i go to the Frome market one. There seems to be a lot of stalls selling boxes & boxes of house clearance items and this is where i've found most of my bargains over the years. I've also been to the southwick one too, but not as often. This has also been good for bargains. However...

I haven't been to a carboot sale for a while but, went to one last Sunday & managed to find some bargains. WW2 CC41 shoes for £3, Biscuit barrel £2, Picture frame 20p. Also, found a thermos in a charity shop for £2. The lady at the till couldn't believe that i wanted to buy it. She thought...
