    What are some good current shops for 1940s fashion?

    Hi ladies of the Lounge, I recently solved a health mystery and after 15 years of up and down weird weight and a constantly shifting body type, I'm finally back to a steady weight, and coupled with my ballet practice, I think I'll stay here- I have for several months now, so I think I'm good to...

    Kitchen Items

    I was watching I love Lucy, and there's an episode (Lucy Raises Chickens) where I noticed this radio cabinet on the counter behind her. I love this radio cabinet. I've never seen one in person. Anyone have one? I wonder how hard they are to find. If you have any great or favorite vintage...

    Aunt Sammy - Housekeeper's Chat

    I've been reading the scripts for this US Dept of Agriculture radio program (which you can find here), and I'd love to hear Aunt Sammy giving her chat. I don't think I've ever heard it as a bumper on any of my radio programs from the same years. Does anyone happen to know a place that might...

    Any hope for mold damaged shoes?

    These shoes made it through so many years- decades- before ending up in my possession. And I've had them about 18 years, and have worn them several times, but not for the past ten years. Post-baby, my feet grew half a size. :( So I've had these sitting in my closet with other shoes. I was...

    Besame Mascara, specifically.

    Hello ladies, I'm not a mascara wearer, I have naturally very long eyelashes- they hit the lenses on my sunglasses. However, I did try some Maybelline or the like once or twice in high school, and it made my eyelashes fall out. Later, I tried some clear mascara, and again, I found my lashes...

    Esquire's Chart of Correct Dress (Men) from March, 1941.

    Many years ago I posted this under an old username. I still have the print and have just scanned it. Esquire's Chart of Correct Dress from March, 1941. It's bigger than my scanner space, and I wasn't about to press it down and tear the brittle paper, so there are spots in which it's not the...

    Making a Coat - August 1948

    I've had this 1948 California Agricultural Extension Service circular for over a decade, and finally I have a scanner so I can share it. Sorry they're not exact. My scanner isn't quite large enough for a full two page scan, so each page had to be scanned and cropped. (Admin- if you feel this...

    Does anyone know what this item is? Or the era?

    I haven't been on in a while- I love the new areas of the Powder Room! New to me, anyway. :) But I have something I need to ask for help identifying. A friend of mine asked me to see if anyone here knows what this is. (I could have sworn we used to have one thread for help dating items, but I...

    Attitudes and Traditions Regarding Courtship in the Golden Era

    This seems like the best place to ask a question about attitudes and traditions regarding courtship in the Golden Era. I saw the thread entitled, Changes in Attitude in Marriage & Divorce from the Golden Era to Now. But it didn't seem to really address this part of that subject, and it's such...

    Place that buys hair?

    I know there are places who take donated hair for wig making, such as Locks of Love. But does anyone know of a place that buys hair? In the past, before synthetics, these were around. I just measured my hair, it's 37.5" long from crown to end. o.o 4.5" round if I gather a ponytail at the nape...

    Barbara Stanwyck Films

    Barbara Stanwyck is my favorite actress of the Golden Era. I love her background, that she was a chorus girl, and that she was raised from age four by her chorus girl sister and other relatives and such an upbringing didn't seem to hold her back one bit. That she was known as a consumate...

    1939 Guide to Being a Lady in Manhattan

    I wasn't sure if I should post this here in the Powder Room or the Observation Bar... it has some lovely pictures. Perhaps a Bartender can move it if it should be over there. You may be pretty in your home town, but this is New York': Hilarious 1939 guide to being a young lady in Manhattan

    Don Loper Beverly Hills, 1950s, women's small jacket

    This Don Loper of Beverly Hills women's jacket is a 1950s beauty. Blue and black wool gabardine (mostly blue) with black trim. In excellent condition. The lining is completely intact. The only flaw I can find is in the center back seam a few inches below the collar. Looks like a bit of fabric or...

    Not able to dress vintage?

    I had a terrible foot injury in February, and I've only been walking again for about two months. My foot might never be the same, but since I can walk, I know to be grateful. However, I cannot wear any of my vintage or retro shoes because of this. And therefore I can't wear much vintage...

    Joyce California Black Pumps

    When I bought these at a vintage shop, I was told they're from the 50s. 50s/60s is not my era, so I apologize if I'm off on that. I'm selling them because they're too small and I decided having them stretched would be too risky and might damage them. I think they're a 5.5 narrow...
