    Tailoring Cost

    I agree- it might be time to trade in your old suits. :o

    Tailoring Cost

    Please also remember the old standby rule: You get what you pay for. Cheap price often means cheap work. Expensive doesn't mean you got ripped off. Remember, they are charging you for a knowledge that you don't poses. If you did- you wouldn't be there in the first place. And never...

    Tailoring Cost

    sorry to continue the off topic comments! Oh thank you! lol I don't know how many times I've heard: "Really?! It took you that long?!" as if any job should be a simple one. And also: "You want $_____, for that?! But it's only a small alteration!!" Every single person who walks...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    I'm sorry, gentlemen! I really didn't mean for this to turn into an argument! :( Marc Chevalier- Thank you for clearing that up! The glasses I was wearing are my favorites, and I tend to wear them more than the others due to their size. I hadn't even had the gender specific question cross my...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Levallois and MisterGrey, that makes a lot of sense! Whenever I'm at events, there are a handful of people who have glasses that look exactly the same- worn by men and women. Thanks for helping me figure that out! Belly Tank, if you have something you'd like to add, I'd really like to hear it.

    Halloween costumes!

    I bought a nurse's uniform on ebay about 2 months ago. It was used in a play set in the 1940's. It does fall about 2 inches above my knee (I stand 5' 7"). I wear a vintage 14. If you're interested in it, let me know.

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Miss Bella Hell- Love those!! They suit your face really well. I wish I could wear cat eye glasses- I look ridiculous. These are my two pair. They're very much alike- same color lenses, same shape. But the ones on my friend Jennifer are larger and seem to look like they're more sized for a...

    1950's Beauty Pageant Judging Guidelines

    Drat. Out at 6. And definitely at 7. My body type does best in the 20's-40's. It's a really neat little article. Makes a lot of sense for the time, though!

    It definitely is a great find!! I put my hair in the toe of an old stocking and my fiance freaks out any time he catches a glimpse of it!

    I know! (And thank you!) One of the girls here sent the link to me because she knows of my portrayal and I almost fainted! It's so impossible to find anything display-wise having to do w/ sewing outside of advertisements and patterns/ books. And in pristine condition!? (I'm super excited!)

    Just won these counter top display signs on ebay for my reenactment portrayal of a WW2 seamstress/ dressmaker: I really wanted the 4th piece of the set which was this gorgeous wall sized banner, but I was outbid at the last second: I'm not that upset though. I can make a...
