    Vintage clothing: waist to chest ratio problems?

    I'm lucky to have a 10" difference between my chest/ hip and waist difference. Although this is great for vintage clothing, it's not without it's flaws- trying to find high street basics that fit well is almost impossible!!

    Etsy

    I use e-cheques every time. I don't have a credit or debit card so I can't set my bank account the "right" way. I can transfer money to Paypal via online banking (although I can't even do that right now as my bank has messed up!) but that takes 14 days, as opposed to 7 with an e-cheque. So...

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    I've been away for quite a while and never got round to posting a picture of mine. Here it is, it's an Edwardian sapphire and diamond ring. It makes my normally tiny fingers (size H!) look like big sausages in this photo!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    At the beginning of the year, I was in London with a friend who was also wearing vintage. We were walking along a bridge, and a man with a camera overtook us then quickly whipped around, took a photo and ran away. Then, that same day, we were sitting on a bench along the Thames and a woman...

    Bullet bra sizing

    What Katie Did do a 32E and other small back/big cup sizes. EDIT: Oops, just read more closely and seen you're looking for 28. Sorry! I'm going to leave my post as it was in case it's helpful to someone else.

    The ones that got away

    I have that dress. It's a £12 Primark one that was in stock last April: How much was it going for?

    Defining ladies style and fashions your take.

    I don't exactly go out of my way to look the way I do. What I mean by that is, though it takes more time to get ready in the morning/ find clothes that I would like to wear etc, I don't spend a load of time planning my style. I just wear what I like. I happen to like 40s-60s clothing...

    Online shopping and sizing

    I'm not the best person to advise on this as I just go "meh, it's near enough". I thought I was a 40-30-40, and I was buying clothes with 39 inch busts. Turned out I was actually a 42, but so far they've all fit me fine. Maybe I'm just lucky, but it also seems that a lot of sellers are...

    Oh wow! How on Earth did you make that? I am so so jealous! Oh and the black and white make up worked- at first I thought the photo had been photoshopped to make you black and white!

    Public Displays of Affection

    My fiance and I hold hands everywhere we go. We'll hug and have little kisses too- just a little peck, nothing more. It's so rare to see anyone over 30 showing affection to each other in public and that makes me sad. I love it when I see an old couple holding hands as they walk down the road...

    My Mother Says...

    I seem to be quite lucky that my mum and both grandparents approve. My mum (born in 1963) actively encourages me. She bought me a gorgeous vintage sewing basket for my birthday, for example. My paternal Grandmother (born in 1935) absolutely loves it. I try and wear a different outfit every...

    When did you first start wearing Make-up?

    I didn't start wearing make up every day until I was 17! I just didn't feel the need for it before then. It was during my emo/goth/punk years so I would wear heavy black eyeliner and red eyeshadow. Nothing else. Then I started wearing "real" make up (including foundation etc) when I was...

    Your Favorite Film Costumes

    I dream of owning a dress like Ginger Rogers in Top Hat during Cheek to Cheek. I'm toying with the idea of getting a similar one made for my wedding.

    Sorry to double post but this is so true- the Daily Mail is nationally ridiculed for being full of pretentious and judgemental scare-mongerers. lol
