    Then I'd better take heed and start with the muslin. ;)

    *Obnoxious* Vintage Fashions you LOVE

    I only shudder when I think of the size of the bird that feather fell from.;)

    What a great idea and project C-dot! It turned out so cute too. Has anyone had experience with Vogue V2401? I picked it up yesterday at JoAnne's for a song along with enough chocolate brown taffeta to make a nice dress for Thanksgiving (JoAnne's is having a fantastic sale btw). Tips, tricks...

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Well girls, the black and the fox won out. Surprisingly there was more red and color on the ladies than Black and there wasn't a single vintage outfit in sight. Standing out, even in that large of a crowd, wasn't an issue. ;) I let my husband make the final call about the fur and he was in...

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Thanks so much Ladies. The decision is made...I'm going with the black. And with the nudge from Kamikat...shopping for silver shoes. :)

    What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?

    Ahahaha! He has that look, that's for sure. :) Your Pop sounds wonderful. If you find the pictures, please post them. And tell him they *do* still make guys like that, my hubby is proof. I still get kick out of the fact he'll always open the car door for me first. Polite never goes out of style.

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    I do the same. I was raised Southern and it's a sign of respect to me, not an indicator of age. I love being called Ma'am.

    What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?

    Oh those Boys of Summer. :) Thanks for the reminder Lizzie!

    What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?

    This: I absolutely love my husband in a fedora. He looks fabulous in a classic cut, double breasted suit anyway but when he pops on a topper, I just melt. This is his summer straw. Love it. And then there's that USMC uniform, which hasn't changed much over the decades...big swoon-age. :)...

    A delightfully obnoxious lime green beaded sharkskin sheath. Hello Vegas... And a pretty aqua cardigan. All because I was shopping for lighting. Curse you Etsy. :)

    THE Dress - Butterick 4790

    Great take on the dress. It was the second thing I'd ever sewn and I didn't know diddly about ease. Your version and advice makes me want to try it again. Very cute!

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Thank you Jirina, that's really sweet. :) The hubby just weighed in from overseas...he's a fan of the black too.:D

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Thanks so much Ladies, you're a great help. One of the other things that I like about the black is it plays down my tattoos just a bit. I love my art, but sometimes it becomes the center of attention and nothing else gets discussed throughout the evening. Looks like the red will be saved for...

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Good point Miss Neecerie, thank you! And I think I'll have to use the word "Marine-ness" at some point that evening. :)

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    It's a soft red, more a rose than blood. :)

    Red or Black? Ladies, I need your help!

    Girls...I need your opinions because I can't make up my mind. I'm attending the Marine Corps Birthday Ball with my beloved husband this Saturday. After serving 23 years in the Corps, he gets to skip any fashion decisions by wearing his oh-so-dashing Evening Dress Blues. Me? I get to agonize over...

    Oh, I'll be posting pictures. You ladies are going to help me decide what to wear that evening. :)

    Thanks Inky. I have misgivings about fur in general, but this thing has been expired longer than I've been breathing, so I made my peace with it.

    I've been eyeballing a few vintage furs and when this 1940's beauty popped up, I had to have it. It's in gorgeous condition and perfect for this year's upcoming Marine Corps Ball.
