The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread
Thanks sheeplady, thats really helpful. It turns out that the cardigan was actually washed in woolite and then in (fully dissolved and very diluted) clorox 2 to remove the stains, and it was when it was washed for a second time in woolite that it turned neon blue...so I had thought maybe there...- Odile

The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread
I have a bit of an odd question...has anyone ever soaked a garment in woolite or very diluted oxyclean and had it turn blue? I recently purchased a 1950s dress with matching cardigan and both the collar of the dress and the back of the sweater had some storage dirt on them. The dress came out...- Odile

Show Us Your Purchases!
Beautiful purchases! This thread is dangerous, it makes me want to shop. I just splurged on this (sorry the picture is huge)...I can't wait until it arrives. Its a Cole of California dress, and I love this brand. The way the top is constructed like a swimsuit with the smocking and boning is so...- Odile

Show us your vintage hats!
Thanks for the link! I've actually already stumbled across that page, just from google. Her collection is amazing. I thought I had a lot of Bes Ben hats (6, I think, at last count) but she puts my collection to shame. I would have loved to see them in person!- Odile

Those hats and that dress are AMAZING, Lauren. That dress fabric looks like it must have been impossible to work with, too.- Odile

Hourglass figure
I completely agree--I guess I am technically an hourglass, although a much larger one than I would like. It may be considered an "ideal" shape but it makes buying modern clothing very difficult. I am 41-30-41 and its hard to find off the rack garments that fit me in the bust and hips and still...- Odile
