    Gorgeous! I'm dying to find one of those white patent wicker numbers. I just love them!

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    The show went absolutely beautifully. The models were lovely, the MC was great, a good time was had by all. It was definitely important to have two rehearsals; one to work on walking and timing, and the second, a dress rehearsal. I found the most important thing was to slow everyone (the...

    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    I've been watching this discussion with interest, and I've found it a complicated one. While I truly believe that it's important for our ladies to feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves, I'm loathe to bar men from the ladies area altogether because I've seen plenty of instances where...

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    I learned a couple new things with interpersonal relationships and fashion shows recently. #1- Think out carefully how long the models will need to change clothes. This is impacted by a number of things, from experience of models, to distance from runway to dressing room, to complexity of...

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    Oh, and I have a loaned item that I'm not sure about. I'll try to get a pic posted into "Help me date this" soon. It's emerald green satin cuffed pants (metal zip, very roomy below the waist, kinda bell-bottomy, old time satin), and a crop top (kind of a wide bandeau, with shoulder straps...

    Nobody has an opinion? I'll let you know what the Fellowship committee decides at their meeting in a week.

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    A new day, a new detail to ponder. I feel I have the fashion show portion under control, so now I'm turning my attention to the tea portion. After the fashion show, we're holding a sit down tea in a separate hall. I was thinking to have the models in their final looks lead the audience down...

    I'm glad I could help. I'd love to hear about the details of your event, as it unfolds.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I agree with Drappa. Most homemade originals I have are just pinked, and that doesn't hold up overly well. I think French seams look the best and are very durable, however, they only work on straight seams. If you have curves, the Hong Kong (aka Faux French) give almost the same look and...

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    Oh, and advice for anyone else taking this on, don't forget that a certain percentage of people you will deal with are, to put it bluntly, flakes. People will tell you they will do things, and not follow through. People will say they want to participate (and likely genuinely do), but then you...

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    I'm doing this to raise funds for my specific church. This has a number of benefits, not the least of which is use of the facilities. I would think it would be easiest to work with a specific organization which would benefit from your event. I would expect if you were going out on your own...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    The last time I felt like this, I picked out an adorable fabric, and a sure fire apron pattern that I'd had success with before, and made that my next project. It went quickly, gave darling results and a sense of accomplishment. It helped me go back to the project I was struggling with. :)

    Success!!!!! Thank you everybody for your input. In the end, it did turn out to need to be pulled up. I was actually telling one of the other ladies working this project with me about the trouble I'd been having, and she just grabbed it and pulled it up, and then down, and that was that!

    Advice for putting on a vintage fashion show

    Yes, imoldfashioned, I was lucky enough to be able to convince my husband, who once upon a time was a drama major, to be our announcer. I will be helping him with the script, so it should be fun and informative. I'm also lucky enough to have a gifted "computer and theater person" to help me...
