    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Hmmm. I sent an email to Magnolia with my weight, height, and shoe size (I don't know about the weight, but I'm 5'8" with a size 9 (150 lbs shhhhh! lots of muscle though), and they responded that I was right in the middle of the "Large" range. Perhaps I'll get a large and a medium, and re-sell...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Stocking questions Hey there all! Been away for a bit, life suddenly imploded on me. to help lift my spirits I decided I would treat myself to a good garter belt and stockings, to compliment the repro dresses I've been collecting. I think this is the garter belt I've settled on from Alexis4U...

    The ones that got away

    Perhaps I feel little bit of a desire to defend myself because I use a sniping service, but you tried to snipe too by bidding at the last minute, you just tried to snipe manually rather than use a 'bot. Even using a bot you can lose out if your bid is not the highest. [huh] I lost out on...

    Dyeing Clothes

    Do you guys do anything afterwards to set the dye? I've always heard that washing the item with salt of vinegar was a good thing to do.

    Dyeing Clothes

    I'm always afraid to dye in my washing machine, for fear the residual dye won't come out afterwards, and might affect future wash loads! Plus i just got a brand-new washer, so I am a little more protective than usual, heh. Has anyone had a problem getting Rit dye out of the washing machine...

    The loss of occasion

    I concur with Miss Neecerie--It's up to us to be a good example. I did not grow up in a home where one dressed particularly nicely for occasions, and yet those old standards are better than most of what I see today. I have also thrown parties where I clearly stated that folks were expected...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Daisy, I adore that fruit necklace, seriously. I hope you wear it much--or sell it in your ebay store. :D Nothing says "warm weather is coming!" better than fruit jewelry, eh?

    Garden Party, are heels ok?

    The dress is great and the shoes are darling, but they'd quickly get messed up, if not ruined, with the heels sinking into wet ground with every step. To keep them ultra-safe, you should box them up and send them to me. ;) Hey! I'd send you a pair of wedges back. :) Honestly though...

    You should do what that other buyer did for marquise, and contact the second highest bidder and see if they still want them.

    I'm very much so in love with this necklace, Daisy! You have exquisite taste! And the white dress with the red embroidery is especially darling.

    What to do

    As someone else said already, exercize (often in the form of dance) makes me feel like I'm doing something to improve myself, although I know it won't be an instant improvement. Investing the time to do my hair nicely makes me feel great, and I get long-term bennies from that. Naps are...

    *Snoods*

    Hamilton Honey, not only are those fabulous pictures (and you really are unfairly photogenic!), but that is *quiet* a lovely snood--certainly the nicest I've seen (I'd order one in red for darn sure ;) ). So, could you all be specific as to how you attach it to your hair? I don't know if...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Thanks for the info and the heads-up on that seller, she has great stuff! (as an aside, I can't wait for it to get warm enough to wear those cute halter tops and what-not). You know what, it looks to me that the suits My Baby Jo's sells are actually EW's! From your description, the...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Adding underwire? Hey guys! I just got a swim suit from My Baby Jo but I'm wishing it had an underwire. Is it crazy to imagine that a wire (removed from another bra of the same size) can be added to a "pre-existing" swimsuit top? I'm just paranoid I'm gonna come out the bottom--plus additional...

    Fruit Fetish?

    Fruit Fetish?

    I love Love LOVE the set on the lower right side with the bananas. Are those earrings? I now feel absolutely compelled to crawl the internet on my hands and knees to find something similar. I actually don't have a banana fetish (!!!), but I do think that the inclusion of bananas in a fruit...

    Classic wide leg pants?

    A ha! I figured I had had a disconnect. :o Ohh, they even carry them in tall!

    Classic wide leg pants?

    Hrm, I'm not seeing those Metro style pants on the dancestore.com website. Did you guys buy up the last ones? Great site by the way, thanks for posting it.
