    Coats

    Thank you very much for the suggestions GrantFan and CaramelSmoothie :) lareine: Thank you very much for give me a better idea of what kind of coat the stop staring dress coat is. Sewing is not an option.

    Coats

    Does anyone else have trouble finding good coats? It's so hard to find one that fits, but even harder to also find one that actually looks good. I could really do with severall new coats right now, one for really cold winter, one for cold autumn/spring, and one for warmer weather as well as...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    I'm of the same school :) There are many other great bra blogs out there, my favourite for fitting advice is http://www.venusianglow.com/p/bra-matrix.html

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    VintageTink and strathspeychick There are bras in big cup sizes that are not so round. Bravissimo's own brand of bras can sometimes have a pointy look to them, not all their bras but there certainly are some (dotty spot for instance). Not bulletbra pointiness however, but on the other hand...

    Anyone have experience with the Bernie Dexter clothing line?

    I have been very curious about her brand too, I haven't seen so many reviews of it so far, eventhough she seems to have some interesting options available. Have any body with a very large cup size tried any of the dresses? I wonder how big bust firendly they are in terms of coverage, and if...

    What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!

    Some days the motivation is to try something new and fun, or be creative. It's nice to look well put together, it's tidy, and I like that. But on days when I feel rather crappy and these things are not enough it also helps that my hair just insn't in my opinion wearable outside the house without...

    A Nivea question

    What works on the hands may not work on the face AT ALL. The hands can usually take a lot more things than the face can in general, pretty certain this is true for most. There is a very big difference between using something on the hands, and using it on the face. Remember that you use your...

    The Middy Thread

    How can you tell if your cut is feathered or blunt cut? I've had something like the middy but with bangs (for those I brought pictures of brigitte bardot) since august, and I have been very happy with it. But I've seen mentioned in this thread that for vintage styles the blunt cut is much...

    Sculpture Pin Curler

    It didn't work particularly well for me. It was lovely packaged, but I didn't think it was very good. I am not particularly good at pin curls, it takes a long time for me, and no different with this. I have pretty slippery hair, that doesn't want to be shaped easily, and it just kept falling out...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Sorry you didn't like them Alice. Thank you so much for writing about them though. I'd buy Heyday for sure if it seemed at all likely they could fit well enough, but that's just not the case for me. I did take note of last year in the autumn or winter, Heyday came out with severeall trousers in...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Very strange size chart! I had no idea Freddies did any pants that where not in jeans type fabric, I'm very interested to hear what you think of them, Alice!!

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I noticed just a page ago (but not that recently, or not for being on the internet, so I figured I could bring it up again now) Alice asked for recomendations for swing trousers that are custom sized. I too wonder about this. I'd buy Heyday, as they are just the look I want, but the size chart...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    I have read this thread, and I've watched both the Playboy Club and Pan Am (and Mad Men too, but that's not so recent). I agree with many things said here, but I'm not that familiar with history as some of you are, so I didn't notice as much. I have noticed a lot of innacuracies, such as with a...

    Buying dresses for the very curvy (<-- shape, not size)

    The Nightingale: I do read Casey's Musings, and I have seen the blog post you mentioned, and I probably will try it some time :) I assume there are people who like to sew nearby, but I don't really know anyone with much more experience than me, or not that I could ask. I guess I just have to...

    Skirt shapes and hat shapes

    I definitely like that way of putting it! :) I guess this thread stems from me being very unsure of how to wear hats, or how to wear them well, so looking for rules to follow, seemed like a good next step to get more confortable. I like how there have been suggested so many different ways to...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I wanted to tell you about my fabulous experience at Lunetiers (http://www.lunetiervintage.com/), which I got recomended in my going to london thread I bought some great black 1950 new old stock frames, cat eye with carved wings at each side. I haven't bought the glass for them yet, as I have...

    Buying dresses for the very curvy (<-- shape, not size)

    I found another site that seems to offer to make things to fit, http://www.hubbahubbavintage.com/ I also had the oportunity to try on som Vivien of Holloway items. Their pencil skirts are with a 12" difference, and they had extra material in the waist for me, but some of the fabrics seem to...

    Going to London

    It's nearly time for me to leave, so thank you everybody for all the nice ideas! I won't be able to read any new posts before going, so this is the end of the query for me. (Feel free to continue this thread, if anybody else wants to use it to ask for ideas, or anything else related.)

    Skirt shapes and hat shapes

    Great posts! :) I really think I agree with everyone. I did not mean to imply that every lady would buy one hat for each outfit. I meant that maybe she had just a few, where they all fit with many things, but where each also did not fit with everything. Just like never mixing some colours...
