Jeans?

You could wear a pair of close toe wedge loafers or very low cuban heeled oxfords. If you don't like your ankles wear dark stockings or tights and a lighter shoe- the...- fernande

Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood
The whole shoot is very badly photo-shopped- they've used a retouching tool called "liquify" to nip in her waist even more- which sometimes can be a very cool effect (especially for fetish-y photos- helping someone shed a few pounds for a photo) But I'm shocked these photos went to print in the...- fernande

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I think sometimes is also where you are located- when I was growing up in the northern midwest -13 years ago, my Bettie Page haircut and seamed stockings elicited many stares and rude comments- but I am thankful I had supportive parents who let me look like I wanted- and just kind of shrugged...- fernande

What's your favorite candy?
Listening to everyone's Candy's is just making me want to pig out. (and only this afternoon was I thinking- okay, its time to rid the house of all the sweets) I grew up in North Dakota and Western MN and by far the family treat was "Chippers" by local confectioner Widmans- What are" chippers?"...- fernande

Field Trip!!!- Stich'n'Gossip Party When I say "rayon" its nothing like the cold swingy rayons of the 40s- but there were a few nicer weight (heavier) "modern rayons" in nice vintage looking florals. This is probably the best you'll get- but do-able and still nice. Some of the poly...- fernande

Setting in sleeves is always hard for me. I'm going to give it a shot, with the matching to the armholes idea- I'm one of those people, that if I think I'll adore something, eventually, I'll try to buy it- this is always the case with Vintage- because I know I'll probably never see whatever it...- fernande
