    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Thanks Kitty! That's a great idea.

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Here's my little collection. I have another 10 on the way (got a bit carried away on Ebay!!). I think some of them were bought from fellow loungers. I also keep them inside their own plastic bags inside a pretty floral storage box. I don't have enough to sort them...

    Slips!

    Annie, you get a lot of rubbish in the ones down here too. I think the best places to look out are in the big cities- try Birmingham perhaps?

    Slips!

    It's amazing! A lot of it is 80s, and after the New Year they started bringing in 90s stuff, but it's not at all difficult to find clothes older than that. The prices are really cheap too- about £20 for a day dress. Personally I prefer the little one off Regent Street. I would always use...

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    My mum's grandma lived to about 98. I haven't known many old people. I think the second oldest person was my Grandad who died at 78.

    Slips!

    I wear vintage ones from Beyond Retro in London. They're about £8 or so- Billy bargain!! I've just bought some vintage patterns too so I'm about to make my own repro ones.

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Are these the Black Casual ones? They're also made of twill. I have them and I wouldn't recommend them either. They don't have a button at the top of the fly, so it constantly falls down, especially when I sit down. It's particularly embarassing when in public and you stand up to find the fly...

    20th Century Props: Mid Century Modern (and others) Liquidation

    I wish I lived in America. And had $4000. That green sofa is calling to me :(

    How do you finance your vintage or vintage style clothing and hats?

    My fiance finances most of them. I'm a student, so I don't often have a lot of money but he is a very generous gentleman and likes to treat me. He's not much into vintage himself but he appreciates my love for it. We did actually recently get him a 1960s coat and 1950s shoes, so it seems to...

    Eyebrow Grooming

    I put tweeze, although I very rarely do that. Maybe every two or three months. They're naturally quite shapely. I wish they were a bit more defined and often think about getting them waxed in a beauty place but never get round to it. I'm afraid that they won't quite get my Grace Kelly vision...

    The very best image of yourself

    This, the colour photo of my avatar. There are a few others I like, but this is my favourite.

    Do you have vintage kids?

    I am the vintage kid. My Dad, in particular, is in love with the 60s which is where my affair with all things vintage started. My Grandma and Grandad are (were, in the case of my Grandad) both hugely into modern history and my Grandad would scour antique shops looking for treasures. I...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I have been wondering something for the past few days and wonder if anyone here could help me? I understand that people generally were smaller in the mid-century period, and therefore they would have smaller feet which makes it impossible for me to find vintage shoes on Etsy. But it seems...

    Keeping off The Frizz

    That's because Frizz Ease is amazing! I know it's expensive, but I will only use the Frizz Ease range on my hair. Nothing else. That includes shampoo, conditioner, moose, gel and serum. Oh, wait, I use Elnett hairspray... But my hair is much more manageable since I started using it...

    My pattern arrived yesterday and it does say this on the back! Thanks for your input- it's so helpful.

    Do You Dress For Dinner?

    I do actually do this, although not in such a structured way so it's not something I've ever thought of before. Like Cici, I'm a student so if I'm at home I will just wear something really casual, that I wouldn't want to wear out and about. When I leave the house I will wear a daydress or...

    Am i vintage hair-disadvantaged because i have bangs?

    :offtopic: Is that top from Peacocks? I think I have the same one!

    Keeping off The Frizz

    Yep, really curly. Which, as I expect you find, is fantastic when it's doing what I want it to and horrendous when it's not!! And it usually doesn't! And thank you :) I like to be helpful.
