crwritt, I love how your rolls turned out - absolutely perfect! I'm (more than) a bit jealous of courser and curlier hair and its ability to hold styles better :)

Aw, Rue, that means a lot coming from one of the star ladies of the board ;)

Thanks, cherry lips! It seems to be from the 40s, if not it is definitely cut from a 40s pattern, and, yes, I love the soutache on it!! It's got some lovely delicate netting behind it too. By the way, I love your look, you carry off the 60s as if you're in them :)

First time posting a picture in this thread! Nothing full out, but, I wanted to show off my recent blouse purchase and you have to start somewhere, right? :)

Oh, wow, that is a tidy roll (haha...sounds kind of funny)! I'm envious!

Lolly, I laughed at the Gary Oldman joke. From the picture it looks like you need to do more teasing. Are you doing any at all? Either way, tease the base up to where the hair is about to curl around and then smooth out with a comb on top afterward. I've had success with breaking it into two...

Wahine, I think that's a great idea! They look really cute! It reminds me of putting new makeup into old vintage containers - I still want to do this :) (And I'd probably crochet something like that if I knew how)

Wow. Never realized so much was expected of the supposedly dainty little girls. Sounds like the girl scouts of today are just a place holder.

I am a recent cold cream convert especially with my dry Winter skin - but I also haven't tried any super luxe face products.

Lolita, you always have gorgeous, voluminous hair and it looks so shiny for being so white. Do you do anything special so that you don't completely terrorize your hair when you bleach it?

Has anyone tried Eleganti brand FF stockings? How is the quality? If you've also tried Gio, how do they compare? I have a 36" inseam so finding FF vintage stockings is rather difficult and both these brands have some longer stocking options, but the Gio is a bit more expensive. Also, if you've...

Sheeplady, sounds like you should have no problem losing the weight in that period with all that you're doing. If you do find by your halfway point that you are still struggling, I would suggest some sort of online calorie calculator. If anything, I find it really helps to truly see how you're...

I was thinking the same thing! Do you know their weight, material, and listed color perhaps?

Drappa, they look lovely - no reason to be self-conscious about your first try because it doesn't look it :)
