    Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?

    I'm lucky. I don't care what people think. Honestly. Life is too short. I'll wear what I want, when I want. But that's the beauty of part carny, part costume dog. :D Reversing roles with my studio mate at an art show last year: Tattooing at the Baltimore Convention. Pardon the bloomers...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Miss Killin, I can honestly second what Inky and Lady Day are advising. Start with an A line. I just completed my first project ever, the circle skirt, and it was a bit more than what I had bargained for, especially in the hem department.:o

    Show us what you've made!

    Honestly ladies, I am in awe of your abilities behind the needle! This is my first attempt at a simple circle skirt from a vintage 50's pattern. All in all, I give myself a low mark. The seams are okay, and I managed to get the zipper placed in a decent fashion after two tries and one broken...

    What are you wearing today??

    It's that time of year again... ...when my partner in crime and I update the look of our studio and set up shop at a large Washington, DC art gathering. Last year, it was Victorian Lowbrow. This year, we just decided to wear what we were comfortable with. I won't tattoo in my duds, but it was a...

    THE Dress - Butterick 4790

    deadpandiva, I LOVE the shamrock version. And ladies, you've inspired me to give it a go. I'm armed with a 5 yards of cute blue and white seersucker with little anchors and some contrasting deep red binding in hopes that I can create this "very easy" pattern by Independence Day. I have zero...

    What are you wearing today??

    Everyone looks absolutely fabulous. Cherry lips, would you part with the dress AND the pup? (I kid, I kid) We were terrible girls this weekend. The boys ventured out with us to a local iconic spot to help me forget my 44th birthday with tropical drinks, cigars and a little fashion. My...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Oh, it breaks my heart to hear the negative comments. Especially when I know there are people out there who appreciate the look and the effort. Last October, I attended my spouse's class reunion at the US Naval Academy wearing a gorgeous 1940's black and jet beaded crepe de chine dress, my...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Ooooh, it was already too late for me even before I posted on this thread. I've been scouring for the right hats for him for over a year and you're right...the gents on this thread help model what looks great AND help me empty my purse! And I already have a most time consuming habit of clothing...

    Uncle Fezter's hair flowers

    Fezter is a good Baltimore fella. All you have to do is point out to him *which* of the hairflowers on his myspace you are interested in, and paypal him with that flower in the title/reference box. I haven't checked lately, but the last time I looked, all his "how to order" info was listed in...

    Post New Hats Here!

    HarpPlayerGene, I'm envious of your purchases. You have a golden touch when it comes to hats! Great photos as well. I just purchased a modern Summer Stetson for my beloved. He's slowly beginning to dip his toes into the vintage pool (and I am trying valiantly to resist simply shoving him...

    The Pinup Thread

    Wow, what a bunch of lookers you all are!;) I was lucky enough to do a shoot with Baltimore's Atomic Cheesecake Studio this spring. I can't recommend photographer Stacey Barich highly enough. I'm still blaming her for lighting the fire under my vintage habit to the point where it's singed...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello, hello! Hello Ladies! I was so thrilled when my co-worker, fellow vintage enthusiast and occasional shopping partner pointed me in this direction...though part of me wants to pinch him for sharing such an addicting site. I must say "thank you!" to all the girls for their great...
