    Any Bonfit Patterner Users?

    Hi Ann. I can't believe how long it's been since visiting the FL! I've given away my Bonfit. I just never got the hang of it. I'll check out Natalie Bray's book. Thank you!

    What is a Lady?

    This is a terrific discussion! My own definition has been covered by various ladies of this thread, so I will add my mom's definition: A lady always wears a slip, a bra and panty hose."

    Best way to do finger waves for 20's couture look?

    I'm bookmarking this thread for later reference. Now I know why I wasn't getting a good fingerwave - I need to start with a pincurl set.

    The Middy Thread

    AliceGill - I'm not certain, but think Ann-Margaret is sporting a longer variation of the long Middy, which is 6" long at the back. In that last photo, her hair is probably more than like 12" long. I think you could get that look from a long Middy. I tend to think of Bouffant styling as being...

    do you wash your hair everyday?

    I am currently sporting a Middy, which is short for me. My hair gets very dry and damaged when I shampoo it more than twice a week, I shampoo my hair once a week. Conditioners tend make my hair oily, so I don't bother. Between shampoos, I wet my hair during my morning shower, typically every...

    Missing posters

    I'm peeking my head in after being gone for a while. sheeplady asked a page or so back about gals hanging out just in the Powder Room. My vintage interests are fashion, hair, and crafting. I've wandered out of the Powder Room a few times over the years but most of the topics outside of the PR...

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    LizzieMaine: congrats on taking possession of your house. Good luck with the rennovations. SheepLady: I'm so sorry to read about your woes. My thoughts are with you. I know 3 breast cancer survivors, so brave heart! It's almost been 1 year since my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. Now that...

    The Ration Book Diet

    Thanks Lolly and Lizzie for the rice info. Lizzie - are you still a practiicing Rationer? I'm wondering how it works long-term. Stanley, I like adding barley to soup. I've lost 5 pounds so far, mainly by what you've suggested: reduce fat, sugar, and serving size; eat more veg and whole...

    The Ration Book Diet

    kiwilrdg - I wa being silly, all for naught, since we eat Japanese style rice that is grown in California. Stanley Doble - thanks for link. I found that site after reading quite a bit of this thread, seeing it was inactive and looking for more information. It convinced me to give it a try...

    The Ration Book Diet

    I'm reviving this old thread to see if anyone is still on the Ration Diet. I started about a week ago, after deciding it will be simpler than Weight Watchers - I get bogged down with too many options. I haven't weighed in yet, but will on Sunday. Next week, I think I will follow Lizzie's lead...

    The Middy Thread

    I'm curious: who among you cut your own hair and are you a trained stylist? Lenore, I too like your stripe. Even with the not fully dry hair, it still looks cute, even if it wasn't what you were going for. Did you also cut your hair? I am working up the courage to give it a try myself tomorrow...

    The Middy Thread

    Hey Lenore...did you cut your hair? How did it turn out? I am working up the courage to cut my own, so I'd love to see how yours turned out. No pressure ;

    Gertie's new book for better sewing

    Today was my first day back at the sewing machine since the last post here. My plan is to work systematically through Gertie's book because the first 5 projects are skirts: dirndle, circle, pencil, pencil with flounce, A-line. Gertie explains how to draft and make the dirndle circle skirts...

    Show us what you've made!

    Hi everyone! I've been on a computer and crafting hiatus since May for severe bilateral carpal tunnel with surgery on both hands last month, but, thanks the miracle of 21st Century medicine, I'm back at my sewing machine. I have some catching up to do here at the Lounge. Congrats Sheeplady...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I love visiting this thread and seeing everyone's terrific hair. I decided to focus on one every day style I could get down. It's taken a lot of work to get rolls down and the right side roll remains a challenge, but the effort has paid off. I've been wearing a variation on a theme most...

    Gertie's new book for better sewing

    It's gonna be a project - I made the muslin but need to fine tune the fit and try again. I have a broad back and that is one fitting adjustment she left of the book, so I have to dig out my P&P Fit for Real People...I'll post the final project, though. My lofty goal is to work all the projects...
