Sew a 1920s dress with modern day pattern?
Hey everyone! So, I'm invited to a 1920s, early 1930s Party and I have no idea what to wear. I'm not perfectly shaped for the 1920s, I got from everything a bit too much, but I want to make this work. I found a dress that I really like, that would suit me just fine as it's shaped at the waist...- hilja

Bohème Sauvage Parties in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
No Lindy Hop for me sadly. All I am familiar with is a bit of foxtrot and tango argentino. And I can probably pull off some weird looking black bottom and charleston if I'm in the mood. I'll try my best at sewing. Actually the 1950s and 1960s got me interested in dressing vintage. I just...- hilja

Bohème Sauvage Parties in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Hello Florian, Thank you for your detailed answers. That's basically all I needed to know. Now it's time to nicely talk some friends into joining in on the evening and to get on with the sewing. Reading your post, it doesn't seem so wrong now to give a little effort in dressing up. :) Cheers!- hilja

Brigitte Bardot Haircut
Thank you so much for your help! My hairdresser shortened my hair, so it ends at the middle of my back and cut three layers. I got pretty usual bangs but I'm going to cut them in shape by myself in a few weeks. Now summer can come! :) -

Brigitte Bardot Haircut
Hi everyone! I will have an appointment at my local hairdresser next week. It's time for summer hair! I love everything 1950s/1960s, the cut I choose just differs between the amount of time I put into my updos (ie I'm quite lazy during the hot seasons). I have very long hair which is fine but... -

Found Letters--German--1940s
Oh my.. that is so sad! I did not know anything about these cases. Imagine being a wife and mother at that time. How hard it would be to see your old love return over twenty years after you thought him dead. All the broken hearts.. My grandfather from the father's side was a POW in Siberia. But...- hilja

Found Letters--German--1940s
She lived in Flehingen a small town in the province Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg, West Germany. This northern part of Baden-Württemberg was an American-administered area at that time. @Worf: My grandmother is one of those people who had to leave their homes in East-Europe. She and her family...- hilja
