Oh, perhaps I'm intruding in a gentlemen's thread? If so I will remove my post.- Isis

Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?
No, but I use Pinterest and loves it: http://pinterest.com/isiswardrobe/ So useful for sorting and it help me keep track on where I find pictures, as I like to give picture sources in my blogpost. I've just a board to catalouge my patterns- much easier to look there than drag out my boxes...- Isis

The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady
A friend of mine once told me "When I first met you I thought you were so refined and ladylike, but then I got to know you and I realized that you ARE all that, but your are not the least bit prim".- Isis

The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady
That reminds me of a Swedish comic called "Spara och Slösa" (Save and Spend) that started in the 1920's. Spara and Slösa are two girls, one who saves every penny and the other one who makes whoppee out of them. Spara has neat blond plaits and Slösa dark uncombed hair, with a wilting hair ribbon...- Isis

Favorite Vintage Perfumes
I can relate to that. I have forgotten the name, but my paternal grandmother used a perfume with a lot of patchouli in. She smelled very nice, but I find patchouli-perfumes very hard to wear because I so easily feel "old lady" in them. :) -
What a confusion.
I'm in the process of building a 1940's wardrobe, but in doing so I don't mind some late 30's stuff- after all, as have been pointed out above, people didn't throw out their whole wardrobe just because a new fashion came in. :) I think it's important to dress in a way you feel comfortable and...- Isis

Norwegian and Swedish Christmas sodas
LOL, Flicka- I loved must as a kid, but can't stand it now. I don't think it taste like root beer at all- root beer to me taste like toothpaste... My son love must and have amused himself with saying (in English) "I must have must for Chirstmas" since early December.- Isis

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?
Personally I don't even think about that I read subtitles. I'm Swedish and the only movies dubbed in Sweden are children's movies, so you get used to read subtitles - and most movies showed in Sweden are American or Bristish. It's a habit, really and if you are used to it, it doesn't distract...- Isis

Show us what you've made!
Katinka, thank you! The hair is the-easy-solution-hair when I haven't curled it. Just cram it into a hairnet... :D I'm posing in front of the children's book sektion. :) We (well, a friend) built a bookcase that cover an entiry wall in our living room- 8 meters long. And I promise, it's crammed...- Isis

Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?
When I strated my blog on making a 40's wardrobe I had just planned to write about the clothes I made. I very quickly strated to write about everything 40's and that seems to be rather popular. I only write about things that interests me, though, which I think is a key point. If you write about...- Isis

Hercule Poirot: well dressed gentleman or overdressed dandy?
Oh no, that gave me an mental image I just didn't need! One thing one might want to consider is that Suchet is a slimmer man than the Poirot he portrays. His suits are padded and the collars is chosen because they enhance the image of rotundness. It's also a bit difficult to undress him in...- Isis

Hair help - what am I doing wrong???
That is so true! I have teh luck of having a vintage hairdresser and her middy cut is the best thing that ever happened to my hair. As everyone says, practice, practice, practise. It takes some time to get to know your hair. I didn't get the curls I wanted until I started to do standing pin...
