    1920s evening - fashion and sewing questions

    So my Lindy Hop group have a Ragtime band just before Christmas, so the theme is going to be speakeasy, 1920s! I can't wait to dance Charleston to an actual Ragtime band, so excited! And of course my first thoughts, what do I wear?! I'm thinking I am going to embellish a cheap shift dress, I...

    The Christmas Party

    It's that time of year, crazy I know! And this year our Christmas party for work is at the Duxford War Musuem! WITH THE PLANES!!!! Spitfires and dancing! SPITFIRES! DANCING! A little bit excited. Also means I would really love to go in a nice 40's outfit. This is where I am struggling, I...

    Vintage Knitting!

    I have given up for the moment as working that small really hurt my hands! I will get back to it though, currently doing some baby things as my friend is going on maternity soon. I will try and get pics of it so far!

    Digital shooting and projection

    I'm gunna jump in... Film is beautiful, agreed. However it is impractical, expensive and it was always just a compromise, an accident if you like. It was chosen as it was the cheapest and easiest method at the time. 24fps was chosen as it was the cheapest way to ensure the picture still looked...

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    Myself, I'm not sure. My friend had Katy Perry Fireworks and that was actually really lovely. My dad has decided, he's going very silly and wants Monty Python's always look on the bright side of life. I shook my head and sighed when he told me this. Maybe something like We'll Meet Again, I...

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    I have found that actually, thanks :) Currently doing the talc method and it really does help on the extra day! But I do find that it looks okay until I brush it, then it looks greasy... Grrrr (before talc that is) I have noticed a difference though, when I do wash it, it's bloody beautiful...

    Victory Rolls!

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    Yep that's cornflour here in the UK! Thanks again! I now have 3 day hair which isn't too bad actually, going to see how it is tomorrow and may not even wash then. Force myself and my hair

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    I wash every other day and have done for years. I really want to start going longer in between, but my hair is short, too short to go into any form of ponytail/bun or even pulled back. Any ideas on how to hide the grease, yet still be stylish and office friendly? xD I am asking a lot with...

    WW2-era short hairstyles?

    I am desperately trying to find 40's looks for short hair myself! Mine is a bit shorter than your wife's so I really do struggle hehe. However there is always the victory roll, here I am with mine (not done by me but by a pro, I haven't mastered the nack!) which do look good in short hair and...

    Young loungers

    Well I have been interested in vintage for a while, I love the joy of finding a one off piece and knowing there is a story behind it. Old movies are what probably really sparked my interest, I love a femme fatale and French new wave. I blame my film teacher actually xD It all started with the...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thank you ^_^ I tried the victory rolls today (Second day hair looks crazy in the morning!) but my hands just wouldn't turn the way I wanted xD More practice I think! I have had rolls in before, but a professional hairstylist put those in for me and I loved them! I did think it looked more 30's...

    Horse labeled as beef ...

    This this this! Supermarkets are pushing prices lower and lower, causing suppliers to try and find cheaper alternatives and now look where this has got us. I am ok with eating horse meat, I would just like to know that is what I am eating. I'm happy munching away on trotters, or liver, kidneys...

    Second opinions on this dress?

    Very pretty! How are your own sewing skills? Taking something in like that shouldn't be too much of a challenge to someone who knows their basics (or give it to a relative, my Nan is my go to hehe!) Also depends on how much needs taking in. But once it is it will look stunning on you and very...
