    Vintage clothes - where do I find them?

    Has anyone mentioned Ballyhoo Vintage Clothing? I thought as I was reading the "what would you change" thread and saw all the ladies who wished they were smaller/shorter. I haven't purchased anything from them myself, but my mother has bought many things. They have a whole section for "Curvier...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I bought this this week ;) Ah how I do love e-bay My FIRST maternity outfit vintage or otherwise. (If you don't count the maternity jeans I bought last summer before we were even trying.) I know there are couple people from DC on here. If you know me. Mums the word for now. We're not...

    What Would You Change (about yourself) for Your Vintage Wear?

    Well I can't complain too much. I do have size 6 feet and small hands so I'm luck to find lots of shoes and gloves. And I'm pretty small, so I find an ample supply of clothing I like. (Although I will admit it was much easier about 10-15 lbs ago when I was dancing 6 nights a week and...

    Remix Shoes

    I've have the style you like in gold in the dark red for a couple of years. I love how they look but find them very uncomfortable and hardly ever wear them. They are very stiff. The toe box is too high, so my feet slide around and the tops of my toes end up scraped. Plus, the heal caps are...

    Every Woman Needs Pearls

    It is my birthstone too, though. I used to have an Alexandrite ring when I was in high school. It was really one of those mother's rings. I'm an only child, so my mother put my stone in the middle and her and dad's on the sides. When I was in high school she passed it to me. Sadly, it was a...

    Every Woman Needs Pearls

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE pearls. I have many strands, real and fake, big and small, long and shorts, solid strings of pearls, pearls with gold chain between, pearls on filament.... I wear pearls almost daily. Almost all pearls in jewelry stores today are "cultured". Cultured just means someone...

    High Style.

    Well I won't rule on what I think about ALL men in low waisted pants. Some skinny young studs look pretty good in them to me. But my baby's got a bootie. Low waisted pants don't fit him well at all. They sit much higher in the back to accommodate his bum and low in front. Even though Craig's...

    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    My mothers maiden name is Washburn. Which doesn't make for a very good porn name. Twinkle Washburn? But it does tie in with the theme names. My husband plays guitar. We joke our kids will be Gibson, Gretschen and Rick(enbacker). : D I actually kinda like Gibson. But how much would a...

    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    My parents almost named me Dorothy and would have called me Dottie. Now that sounds pretty old fashioned. Social Security has a great source for looking up popular names of any year. Unfortunately it shows that all my favorite girl names have become very popular. I like Emma (for my great...

    Scouts

    For some reason the Girl Scout photo won't come up for me. I really wanted to see it. I was a Girl Scout and earned my Gold Award in 1986. (equivalent to being an Eagle Scout). I always thought the older uniforms where much more attractive than what I wore. I had been looking for a vintage...

    New dress advice

    Oh how funny. The red with cherries is the second pair I bought, since I was save so much on my basic pair. :) At least I know they were a good choice.

    "In the family way..."

    Hi Ladies, Found this old thread. I've got vintage maternity clothes on the brain lately. During a recent quest for vintage jeans I purchased a pair of vintage maternity jeans. They are very cool. They are constructed sort of like sailor pants with two flaps that come in from the sides and...

    New dress advice

    Thank you! I was about to order a pair of espadrilles from espadrillesetc.com but thanks to you I just ordered two pair from Bellebuttonshoes instead. And spent less than I was going to pay for one.

    Hair cuts

    I just found this board with a google for 1940s mens haircuts. I can't believe I didn't know about it before. Anyway, to the point. Do you have any more photos of mens cuts? Preferably with curly hair like The Wingnut. My husband Craig is the leader of Blue Sky 5 in DC. (Jonathan...
