    WHOA! Awesome makeup, check her out!

    Oooh yes thanks for the tip about the pale makeup. My skin was bleached at birth so I've always been quite unnaturally pale (especially considering my dad's family has Aboriginal in them!) though I feel quite tanned compared to you! I've got too many freckles from being sunburnt (makes me wish...

    Show us what you've made!

    Thank you! Yes I did make it! It's my pride and joy, as I managed it in about 5 days!! I'd actually found the fabric back in December last year, and bought the whole roll of it (10m) not knowing how much I would need for the dress. I found a beautiful fashion plate which inspired my jacket (I...

    Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?

    Thanks Lauren that's really helpful! I'm hopefully going to be studying sewing and textiles at TAFE next year, so I expect I'll be learning all these things. Though I'm just one person, so I wouldn't have the costs of hiring all the different people. It would just be me doing everything...

    OMG!!! You do clogging to? :D I've been square dancing since I was 3 and clogging since I was 5 (my dad used to teach SD and my mum, clogging). I recently got back into clogging and I just love it!! :D It's so cool to meet another person who does it! Whenever I tell people I do clogging, they...

    Wow Lauren, those Bustle dresses are beautiful! I fell in love with bustle dresses when our local chapter of the Australian Costumer's Guild did a Victorian event. This is my dress here with my boy and my favourite shot showing the back. I've made a couple of 50's dresses, worn to a few ACG...

    Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?

    hmmm I'm really loving this discussion! I was also thinking about the whole price thing (though sometimes it's hard because I can kinda guess the US-Aus dollar thing but Pound-AUS is a bit harder!!), and thinking about the difficulty in making a day dress. It seems that pretty much everyone...

    Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?

    As a seamstress (who is planning on having her own fashion label and store) it's really interested to read what everyone is saying! I couldn't agree more with everything! I have quite a few cotton prints stashed away with the intentions of becoming cute day dresses. I also want to make a few...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello all! My name is Abi, I'm from Brisbane, Australia. I was introduced to this forum by Kitty_M, who I'm in the Australian Costumer's Guild with. I've always loved 50's clothing, and I've recently also fallen in love with 30's and 40's. I've got a couple of 50's outfits, including a dress...
