    Shoes Shoes Shoes

    Thought this would be a good place to post this. Oh my gawd, I'm aching over the cute 1940s & 50s inspired shoes that Anthropologie carries! They're friggin' expensive but some of their sale shoes are bit more plausible. Still, it's fun to look at them and long. ~Kari

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Yeah! I always thought it'd be better to tell people that you're OLDER than what you really are. Because then they'll think, "DANG! She looks good for her age!" :D ~Kari

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Still taking the poll? I'm 33. Born on the third anniversary of the first moon landing. Maybe that's why I'm... "looney"? *Snort!* Get it? Get it? Aw, never mind. :p

    Vintage/Retro Cosmetic brands?

    Hi! (Hmm, I posted this reply once before but it's disappeared. I know there were some glitches today, so I'm trying again.) Body & Soul has a very cool line of 1940s-inspired cosmetics. I haven't tried their products myself, but you can sample them at Sephora. Check out the loose powder...

    Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?

    I definitely notice the extreme hourglass figure in 1950s actresses like Marilyn and Rita. They have large breasts, large hips, and teeeenytiny waists. Must've been the corsets, but dang! When trying on vintage dresses, it's almost always the waist that gives me the problem. No matter how...

    Help I just shrunk a dress!!!

    Oh AllaboutEve, how heartbreaking. I shrunk one of my favorite, most comfortable summer dresses by putting it in the wash. It wasn't vintage, but it was Dry Clean Only and I was in a hurry and just throwing things in the washer. I used to think if it said "Dry Clean Only" that maybe I could...

    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    Hi! I just recently discovered Narciso Rodriguez at Nordstrom (the link provides a great description & review of it). My first thought was that it smelled quite vintage. Sort of that spicey CoCo scent. It's made with Egyptian Musk and is extremely sexy. I'm wearing a sample of it today. It...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi everyone! My name is Kari and it is with much excitement that I've found this forum! My terrific husband & I have been into vintage dress, d?ɬ©cor, and music since we met six years ago. We both came from punk rock ?¢‚Ǩ?ìbackgrounds,?¢‚Ǩ? that over the years morphed into rockabilly...

    Questions, questions

    Hi Jess, I know exactly what you mean - I'm a modern size 14 with DD bosoms (which I despise) and I can rarely find vintage clothing in my size... and for me to sew would be laughable (even though my mom is practically a pro, but she's a long drive). I'm new to this forum, so I'm sure this...

    Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?

    Hi! I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m a new member who is now glued to this forum, heh. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m curious about the dieting practices of women in the 1950s and back. I love the pre-feminism idea that housewives must be beautiful and trim at all times for their husbands, handing him a martini as soon as he walks...
