    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It´s really funny when you get a stupid comment or look from a camel t.. girl who´s wearing way too tight stretch jeans or leggings...Usually I reply with a "fasten your seatbelts" Bette Davis face :-)

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    I bought a dress, upper part is rayon and the skirt part is wool...It has no stains just a typical "vintage smell" :-) But how should I clean it? Handwash like already replied for woolens?

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thank you swingal! I´ll keep the "zip down at the front" rule in my mind :-) A clearly visible detail to identify a hostess gown!

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thank you villa! The fabric has some slight parts, for me it feels older than a fabric from the 80s. The hem was already resewed, I think it was floor length before, now it goes to my ankles...A part of hem that was stitched inside was used to repair small holes at the armpits.

    Can you help me date this item??

    I bought a long gown/ housedress...I would say late 30s, early 40s? It has a long talon zipper at the front, fabric is cotton...is this an house dress like those swirl dresses? Or wore women it also outside the house? ...sorry, I can´t load up the picture :-( Something changed, I can´t load it...

    The Middy Thread

    I´m always going to a "granny" hairdresser ;-) It´s a two generation shop, the mother succeeded her master´s certifitace 1960. She can handle victory rolls, water waves...when I came up with the middy pattern, she said that this was the way hair has been cut back then...again no problem for her...
