    FS: 30s Floor Length Black Velvet Coat

On the right side of the coat beneath the collar, there is a velvet bow with (real) fur stems in it that is centered when...

    School bags

    I did my best to search for something related on the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for.

    The Thread to end all Hair Advice Threads

    I couldn't find some of the older "what should I do with my hair?" threads so I thought I'd make one that everyone could refer themselves to! I'll start :) I'm relatively happy with my short hair, it takes little to no upkeep and I feel suits me, but I'd love to know if anyone had an idea as...

    Bullet bra sizing

    Hi! I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'd really like to buy a vintage bullet bra, but I'm curious as to how the sizes have changed, if they have at all. Can I just buy a 34B, or do I need something larger? Thank you! I'm new and I love this place already. :)
