    Is style something you are born with? I think I am missing the gene!

    A great book to get and read is The Fashion File by Janie Bryant. She is the costume designer on Mad Men. It's a mix of modern and vintage inspiration, but is a wonderful "beginners guide" to building a wardrobe and finding your style. And like the other ladies said, start small and practice the...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I just tried on a few Stop Staring dresses last weekend, and the quality seemed very nice. Good stitching and hems, nice heavy material. A lot like Bettie Page Clothing. Not cheap like some other brands. I don't know what size you are, but I'm a size 16 and a 40D and the XL was too small. Even...

    Thanks so much. The collar is really a halter top, I was wearing it as part of a costume, but i did really like the look down the back.

    Gentlemen, I need your help

    My boyfriend is just getting into vintage, and while I'm a 50's girls at heart, he is much more Golden Era material. I really want to surprise him with a "Beginner Wardrobe", but I'm not sure where to start. I've read through a ton of posts here in the Lounge, but I was wondering about advice on...

    Do you wear curlers in front of your Significant Other?

    Just wear them and see how he reacts. You might find out he thinks it's really sexy.

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    Skirts are always a great thing to have. A few knee length circle and pencil skirts will do wonders for your wardrobe. Also capris and dungarees (jeans) are great staples. I'm a huge fan of dresses, and although they aren't as versatile as separates, nothing makes me feel more "50's" then a...

    NERD ALERT PART II

    Yeah, her dreams come true. So basically she knows the future. No wonder she was a politicians wife! What do you guys think about the whole Syler thing? Him working with Noah.. I love it! And I can't wait to find out more about the Nicky/Jessica/Tracy thing.

    NERD ALERT PART II

    Me too. So much happened, it was hard to take it all in. But it was awesome! The new season looks like it's gonna be great. And we found out so much...like the fact that Syler doesn't eat brains, just pokes at them. And we finally found out what the Patrelli mom's power is, that was cool...

    Vintage Sleepwear

    Where can i find some cute baby doll PJ's? I'm in love with the kind Annette Funicello used to wear. But I'm not having much luck finding them. Figured you ladies would know best.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Yes! I'm so glad to have found like minded people. I was talking with a friend, and she was saying how she can't wait to see the show morph into that era. I was horrified! The thought of joan burning her bullet bra sends shivers down my spine.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I just found this thread and am so happy. I love the show. I think my favorite part from the last one was that we found out a bit more about Don and Peggy's relationship. I like that they seem to be friends, or at least confidants. I do hope that the show doesn't move to quickly into the "60's"...
