    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Thanks MissS! They certainly look nice, but I just can't afford that price at the moment :( But I'll keep it in mind! I'd love to shave 3 inches off my waist!! I was wondering what they meant by 'vintage figures' and 'modern figures'?

    how did people back in the old days stay so thin and lean?

    My dad always used to say that you should breakfast like a king, lunch like a commoner and dinner like a pauper. I completely agree that meal timing has a lot to do with it. I can't function without breakfast, and I'm still shocked that my boyfriend and his brother don't eat breakfast! I try...

    Well this is how my hair is almost every day in it's natural state. hehehe mostly because I'm currently an unemployed bum and at home most of the time! Ummm the outfit I'm wearing is the reason I'm not cutting it, though I would dearly love to! I hadn't actually put any curling product...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I use that pattern all the time! Though I've never used it to make the petti :P I used view B as a beautiful long flared skirt (that's the pattern I used for the skirt of my 'Mars Bar' 40's dress that I made. I've also used the corset pattern, but it's for a costume and not actually as...

    Lotus, thos pants are simply DIVINE! I have major problems trying to fit store bought pants (I have a high waist, narrow hips but really huge thighs) so I've been looking for a nice wide legged pattern. That is such a gorgeous pattern, and looks so easy, I'm going to pick it up at the next...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I always have trouble with shoes due to my flat feet. I can't wear flat shoes because they cause me lots of pain (learnt that after 3 or 4 bouts of plantar fascitis - not sure if that's spelt right :P), and I really refuse to wear stillettos. I don't know what it's like elsewhere in the world...

    Flying While Wearing Vintage

    I contemplated going vintage to the airport last time I flew, but I have to admit I'm one of those gals who likes to fly comfortably :P So it was 3/4 jeans and a polo shirt for me, very unglamourous but it was comfortable! Though I did forget to take off my belt! Ooops! I'm always wearing...

    Thanks so much MissS! It's one of my most favourite and beloved costumes! I managed to pull it together in 5 days (though I didn't get time to make the chemise and drawers). But I'm actually going to be fixing up the entire bottom half - putting some jacket fabric frills on the underskirt...

    Hmmm you're tempting me to try these! I've never been one for heels (though I think that's because my mum has never worn them and never used to let me wear them, so I don't have the practice :P) except in boots! But I've been wanitng to find some comfortable heels so that I could learn! I love...

    Hehehe actually the exact same thing happened to me :P About 8 years ago I had hair down to my waist, so I chopped it up to my shoulders. Most of the guys I knew noticed there was something different but couldn't work out what I'd done :P I've done all the extremes from waist length to the pixie...

    Thanks Johanna! It hought that's what it was, but when I did a search on ebay all I could find was NC15, and I wasn't sure if it was the same. I'm not quite as pale as you, but almost! I don't like wearing foundation, but I do like a bit of powder just to help with the shine factor (especially...

    I am totally in love with your hair Johanna! You and ShortClara are giving me short hair envy!! I'm really starting to get annoyed with my long hair! I've been growing it for a few years now, it's about mid back. My boyfriend LOVEs long hair and has threatened to disown me if I cut it :P But...

    With flared skirts they look like they're from the 50's, but I'm not 100% certain.

    Sophia la shok I only use the overlocker because I have it :P I first got taught to zigzag the edges (which is what I did for my mars bar dress as I couldn't be assed dragging my overlocker out :P) or get my mum to overlock it for me on her industrial machine (which, by the way, I've been...
