    The Dress

    MG- Yea I get dirty looks to. I do think they are intimidated. It's a real shame we have to feel shunned for looking good. I've given up on caring if anyone talks to me though..who cares..I'll go on about my business and they can sit in their little circles and compare their notes about me. I...

    Vintage Hat question---Flowers

    Does anyone know how to steam the flowers on vintage hats or even if they are just single for that matter. I hear it perks them up and doesn't make the hat so old. I was just wondering if there's a special process... Thanks!!

    As for how I feel at that time of the month. If I could just go to sleep for the 2 days before and the first 3 days of it I'd be great...LOL...my husband said if women did that the whole world would come crashing down around us. I thought that was kinda cute as I'm taking it to mean the men need...

    Fashion with Aunt Flow

    I saw an ad for Tampax in a Vogue Pattern magazine I got from 1949. My daughter & I found the wording amusing. If you can't read it let me know & I'll post it bigger on my website.

    What to do

    You sound like me I feel like an utter blob of nothingness right now! I can't feel good about me for nothing. Mine is half horrible weather (I didn't grow up in WA and I HATE this rain) and the other is always doing for other people. I just wanna look better but have NO motivation. I wish I had...

I'll send pics if it turns out. As for high waisted pants & a sports shirt. I guess I won't find those in time, He does have a...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Through my search.............. I see they also had knee highs. I saw a modern day pinup pic with a girl who was wearing knee highs and it looked like she had those sock garters like men used to wear holding them up. Does anyone know if this was the way it was? Also what era would that have come...

    So I've decided I'm going to search out true vintage stockings. I got 2 pairs on Ebay the other week. Brand new still in the box. They are great. I don't know what denier they are.
