    Eyebrow Grooming

    My eyebrows are horrid, I have total monobrow, so when I was about 12 my mum agreed to let me get them waxed as I was being bullied at school about them (nice!) Since then, they've been through various states and now, I pay a girl to do them, but she's not all that good, and when I said I...

    iPhone app that makes movies look ancient

    That's quite fun. What are the apps called, will have to go and have a look for them, thanks for sharing!

    Hourglass figure

    I used to be an hourglass in my teens, now thanks to laziness and a baby, I'm a full on Pear. I hate clothes shopping, especially for jeans (seeing as I'm yet to afford anything vintage/repro!)

    What's your favourite Red Hair colour?

    That's a gorgeous colour! Suits you! For a quick update on my hair dye disaster - I'm pleased to report the La Riche Directions in Pillarbox Red worked a treat in toning it back to red from the weird orange (and I mean, orange!!) rendered by the Live XXL. Although, it did stop my sister...

    To wax or not to wax ????

    That springy thing looks painful. I agree with one of the first posters on this, and I'm basing this on the 1940s House (UK TV Series) Where the daughter uses a pummice stone on her legs, looked painful, she scratched her legs to shhhhhhhh but if someone wants to go vintage, it's worth a...

    What's your favourite Red Hair colour?

    YES!! This is the problem I've had, all orange at the roots, not good!! Am going to try a La Riche Directions in Pillarbox Red, it's a semi permanent but was hoping it might give it a redder tone, we'll see, will report back this evening. If that fails, am going to try the Live XXL in Red...

    What's your favourite Red Hair colour?

    Just to add my twopenneth to the conversation: I use Schwarzkopf Live, have done for years, even though the smell is horrid and burns my eyes, thought I think they've changed their formulation, I no longer burn the back of my head! I used to use Red Night, which was very dark and lush, then...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    Yes, that's the one, my mum only even has brown (!!) so haven't had a chance to try it, might have to splash out at the end of the month and have a go!

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    Hey, I had a hair net on, much to the amusement of my totally non vintage partner! He said I looked like his mum, charming! Will have a search for the setting patterns thread, thanks for the tip! I'm going to attempt it again, I think, am going to Vintage at Goodwood on Friday so want to at...

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    Oh and her tutorials are amazing, had missed this one, but her curls are what I aspire to, and I am so envious of how easy she makes victory rolls look!!

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    Thank you ladies! Pin curls were next on my list!! Thats just where to wind it into a flat curl and pin it in place, yes?! (told you I was a novice!) As for my brush out, I think this is what made it frizzy, you're definitely right! I used my fingers, as per an article I'd seen, then used...

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    Hello, I'm having a bit of a hair conundrum and figured some of you ladies must be able to give me some advice. Sorry if something like has already been answered! I've been trying to curl my hair in different ways lately. My hair is naturally poker straight, and quite thick and heavy...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    I use a Ruby and Millie i-writer which I have done for years, it's pretty good, lasts about 4 months, it needs a little clean off every now and then but it's pretty good. As for remover, just to go back to Annie's question, I use a Clinique's Take The Day Off, it takes off everything and...

    *Snoods*

    In case anyone was still looking, I came across these today and didn't think they were a bad price (am also coveting some shoes from this site!) http://www.swinggear.co.uk/clothes/womens-clothes/snood-hair-net

    the leopard can never change its spots

    I have a few leopard print bits, some flat pumps and a head scarf and I used to have some slippers somewhere too, but my other half also isn't fond of it, booo! Some of these ladies have done it in such a chic way, it really works with just a hint of it, although, loving Jackie Kennedy's coat...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Yes, you are probably right, I saw a WWII Dance dress on 'Big Beautiful Barbara Brown' that had sort of flappy sleeves but it had a sweetheart neck on it so I guess might not work with this. I probably need like puff sleeves right?

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    I have one of these: http://www.alwaysforme.com/plussizeswim3.html and will probably order a new one this year as I wear mine when I go swimming at the gym at it's started to fade and degrade, am not sure how vintage it is but with the halter neck and the skirt it really is a comfy suit. EDIT...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I bought a dress like this on eBay last year. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=3223810 except mine doesn't have the cream sash. I was wondering, do you think I'd be able to add some angel style sleeves to it and would it make it more era appropriate? It has a lovely...

    Do you have vintage kids?

    I have a 2 year old daughter and as she gets a bit older I would like to start trying to get her into vintage stuff, at the minute she's mostly in jeans and tshirts for ease! I do admire anyone who has a vintage toddler - they're so messy!! Lady Powers, it's very cute that your little ones...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    We're trying to hunt down some patterns (my sister and I, both plus sized vintage lovers) with the hopes that our mother will make them for us. Not that she has a sewing machine anymore (I kind of blew it up....) I can never decide between 40s and 50s - is it okay to have both at different...
