Finger Wave vs. permanent wave.
it's hard to explain, but the hair type of black people is a lot different than, well, everyone... and they use different products on their hair. I've actually seen these women get fingerwaves essentialy "permed" into their hair. I have reasonably thick, but definitely caucasian hair. In...- KitschNSink

Period-correct PAINT!
I am glad I stumbled by. The only historical colors I am used to seeing is the milk paints from van dyke's restorers for colonial era houses. I will definitely need to check out these....as I am a vintage decorating book junkie! I had a dresser that had been my grandmothers, than my...- KitschNSink

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!
I have found a really unexpected eater of clothing and hats is cardboard. Cardboard is extremely acidic, and is even known to dry out the innersoles of never worn shoes and over time ruin leather as well. If you store your hats in vintage hatboxes, or new for that matter but especially...- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
You can always double check with Adrianne (the seller). She's really nice and she's super helpful. I don't know if she is measuring across the sole or on the inside. I didn't think to ask her. Chris- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
That's what i figured. One of the members was a curator at a shoe musuem and says that even in his long shoe aquiring career he has not seen all to many 30s and 40s shoes in the size, but now at least he knows someone is looking. Now if I can only find some 40s or even sneaking into the early...- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
I asked around and found that one of my fellow (sister to be exact) vintage fashion guild members has a pair of UK 8.5=US 11 shoes in her shop. They may be a bit later than what you are looking for - they are 50s swing slingbacks versus 30s/40s, but thought I would let you know anyhow. I...- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
By the way, I have not really seen 1930s shoes much bigger than a 9 or 9.5, but I have seen a lot of 1950s shoes in 10s and 11s over time. Not as much as i have seen size 5's obviously but they are out there. Some have some crossover with late 40s styles as some elements stuck around for...- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
I am actually not that huge...a size 8M, but on my small height and frame they are absolute boats. On a D'Orsay style i can sometimes wear an 8.5A. On modern shoes, a piece of cake, but the older the shoe, the less I can find. Partly because everyone else is vying for the same size as me (as...- KitschNSink

Feedback on Henry the Hatter hats...
I am just coming to this thread... thanks for posting the website. I grew up in Detroit and my brother and I always pressed our noses up against the glass to see all those wonderful hats. When we were there it was always closed because we weren't around (we were at school) when it was...- KitschNSink

1940s Shoes Ebay
Those are adorable! ::Sigh::::: There is a lot out there for gals who are a size 4-6.5, I just have way more competition in finding shoes in my size. and then there is the right color! I should just buy shoes and find outfits to match instead of vice versa :) I know the larger sizes are...- KitschNSink

Lady's Hats
Nice!!!! Well, I never turn down a well made hat in excellent condition whether someone wants to consign it, I happen to find it in an odd way (which is mostly what happens) or if someone calls from an estate so you never know. (and then you have to pry it out of my hands...- KitschNSink

Lady's Hats
That's a neat hat (upper right) and if i found it i might keep in my collection, but it just wouldn't suit me physically...but who knows i might be surprised! :) I sure would wear the one on the left! You would be surprised about "what is out there" though with a little luck, a dash of...- KitschNSink
