    Here are a couple of pics of me in my Whirlingturban dress. These were taken last night during my 20 year high school reunion: We all were having a good time! LOL! :cheers1:

    Plus Size Vintage

    Probably not. :) I wear an hourglass style which gives me more of the 50's nipped waist look.

    Plus Size Vintage

    I saw it mentioned earlier in this post, but I thought I would mention it again, the reason that you often see such a small waist measurement in vintage clothing is because the ladies did wear foundation garments. I wear a steel-boned hourglass corset, which cinches my waist down 5 inches and I...

    I feel that way about Red Velvet. I had never found a good red for me until that one. I have about 1/3 of a tube and another whole tube left. I hope that I can make it last until they have it available again...and I hope they will have it available again soon!

    I have been using Sweet Pink for well over a year now, and it is my favorite that I use the most frequently. I have quite fair skin, and I like how it looks. I had purchased the Crimson to try it during one of the sales. I was careful to use a little with a light hand, but I still felt like I...

    Besame cosmetics

    I was wondering about using brushes for my eyeshadow...right now I use disposable eyeshadow applicators, and they seem to do an ok job for me. But I have considered trying brushes. Do you ladies who use brushes have a different brush for each eyeshadow color? Or do you clean them after each...

    Besame cosmetics

    I knew about the last sale (I am on their newsletter email list)...but I had already stocked up the last time they had a sale, so I really did not *need* anymore makeup. I was just curious about what they had left and if the marked the items back up.

    Besame cosmetics

    This is rather interesting...I went to their site to see what products they had left, and what price they were, and it appears that they do not have prices listed for their products, and when I tried to add something to my cart, then view my cart, this is what it said: Order not processed...

    I think they sent it to their newsletter subscribers. You can sign up here: http://www.besamecosmetics.com/home/newsletterInit2.php And I COMPLETELY understand the frustration about not getting a response. I am having a problem right now with another company not responding to my emails. :(

    It may take them a while to ship. In the most recent email they sent, it said: "Shipping News: Please take into account due to the high volume of orders packages may take up to an additional 6 days to ship."

    Whirling Turban

    I was getting a little impatient...so I tried emailing them today again, and I also tried to send them a message through eBay. Still no response. It is a little disconcerting that they have not responded yet, I would be ok with it even if they had just said something simple like they received...

    Ugh...I forgot about the Rockabilly Rave. And I wanted to have my dress done by October for my 20 year high school reunion. It is a week after the Rockabilly Rave. And here I thought it would be a good time to order because VLV has already passed. :eusa_doh: I hope they can do it for me.

    Does anyone know how long it generally takes for them to respond to custom requests? I submitted my measurements and sizing info through their website on Friday, and I emailed them yesterday morning to confirm that they received my info, but I have not heard back yet.
