...picture I saw this picture on rolledstockings.com which is a great fun site about flappers, but I didn't see a date on it there either.

Mitsouko if you're interested in Mitsouko, the following comes from Guerlain's website: head notes : bergamot heart notes : peach, jasmine, may rose base notes : spices, oak moss, vetiver, wood Mysterious Balanced Sumptuous i also found some helpful reviews on basenotes.net

I've heard of it but haven't tried it, it sounds interesting..

Yes, Mitsouko does have a peach note, personally I find the whole thing so well blended that the individual notes don't stand out from each other very strongly but as it dies down you get the peachy warmth from it.

I was searching for a vintage signature perfume and yesterday found Guerlain's Mitsouko. I bought it on impulse and am so glad I did, since I got it home, I absolutely love it, its so rich and mysterious. Its strange that when I looked it up on the internet, it was created in 1919 and I love the...

An amazing woman.. She had filmed her final tv performance just 6 weeks before her death, wow!

Don't tell me the ending! Really enjoying a Fitzgerald 'season' of reading for myself at the mo and hubby bought me a copy of this which I have just started. It came with two other shorts, 'The diamond as big as the Ritz' which I enjoyed and 'Bernice bobs her hair' which was great fun. I have...

Egyptian revival I found it very interesting to read in Paul's research about the Egyptian influence on 1920's make up. I know it existed in clothes too, must do more research. I was in Egypt in August and was left completely haunted by the tombs, the carvings, the temples everything! Its funny...

1920's undies! Thanks to Mojito and Paul for all the great info! I should have given more detail in my post, as I had read the previous page, I guess I was thinking along the lines of images and more detail. Paul, I enjoyed your really informative web page, it was great to see how the stockings...

underwear of the 20's Mojito, (and the other experts on this thread) what did they wear in terms of underwear? I know corsets were gone at this stage. Thanks

a glorious wreck! even if I can only display it, it was too beautiful to not get a good home!

starting my collection! Thanks Mojito! Yes there is a small hole, it was described by the seller and i'm hoping to repair it though she points out that it can't be seen with the black slip, as you say, the dress would be lovely with other colour slips too, I'm so excited to see it!

The one I lost out on and the consolation! I love this thread and have gotten really into 20's style! I thought the ladies of this thread might appreciate seeing my first purchase. I tried for the the gold lame number, which was in beautiful condition with its slip with lame trim and gold...

Thanks for that Kamikat, as to my other queries: authentic colour and material for 40's stockings stocking size if you are 5' 8" and uk size 12, shoe size 7? Had a look at the stocking size guide in the vintage shopping sticky but couldn't work it out! Thanks!

questions about stockings Hi, I wonder if some of you ladies can advise me, I have alot of questions about stockings! Firstly, does 'fully fashioned' just refer to seemed? What are the best materials, (i'm sure this is largely a matter of opinion) What would be the authentic colour and style...
