    Vintage style slip

    *raises hand* ooo! ooo! i have an idea! you can buy vintage slip patterns on e-bay, and if you don't sew, find a friend that can and have him/her make it for you, that way you get it custom-made just to fit you, and friends are cheaper than dressmakers (though you should defiantly reimburse...

    fedora through the wash...any way to fix?

    I'm asking this for a friend (who isn't part of this forum) His mom was doing his laundry one day and put his fedora through the wash. Is there any way to fix the fedora? It's 100% cotton, and I don't have a picture of it :( EDIT: he says it's flattened out and won't get straightened out

    my first thought: Honey Ryder "Dr. No"

    An introduction and request for advise

    I would say yes to a wider brim for you. A hat should be proportional to the head it's on, and (in my opinion) if the brim on a fedora is too small, it makes the guy's head look big.

    weight gain how to dress?

    thanks for all the tips guys (well, gals, i should say) my BMI tells me i'm not overweight, and I guess it's right. I am bigger than I look in my photos because I've spent countless hours figuring out how to make someone look thinner on camera (good friend, wanted to be a model, but wasn't in...

    My Minneapolis Thrift Store Finds! 3 piece suits, other goodies

    I really like that first brown plaid one, it's a very good size pattern for a suit, and the color is great.

    Any Non-Alcoholic Bar Drinks?

    I don't remember what it's called, sunrise or sunshine something I think it's supposed to be a breakfast drink, but it's really good Fill a glass with half OJ and half Cranberry Juice. I suppose it would be pretty good over rocks, so that people wouldn't know it's non-alcoholic.

    When to Wear a Beaded Cap

    I'm trying to imagine the hat. From what i *think* it is, it sounds like something you would wear with a nice coat (not a puffy shiny parka). It would also depend on what you wear during the daytime. The office I work at is not at all casual, almost to the point where I feel too out of place...

    Show us what you've made!

    I like it with the bias tape on, personally. It gives it more of a structured look and almost reminds me of a kimono.

    Where did your user name come from??

    for what it's worth I think it's a pretty cool name.

    Ladylike drinks for the ladies?

    Is there a thread where users can post their own drink recipes? If not, someone should TOTALLY start one :)

    Ladylike drinks for the ladies?

    btw, here is a really sweet cocktail that I made up, maybe it's only because of the name, but all my male friends love it ***** Galore (The bond girl from Goldfinger, i'm afraid to type her name here lol) 2 oz limeade 1 oz vodka shake over ice pour add a few drops of lime juice garnish...

    Pillow-face

    sleeping on your back is maybe the only surefire way to avoid this problem. It used to happen to me when i was younger (like 10) so it might not be an age thing. I guess maybe just smoothing out the pillow case before you sleep might also work. Or getting a bigger pillow so that the fabric is...

    Ladylike drinks for the ladies?

    I often play bartender at parties, and once saw a bunch of guys discover that they like cosmo's. I don't really buy into the whole "assigning gender roles to drinks" thing. Just because I've seen enough guys drink "girly" mixed drinks and enough girls drink from a bottle of whiskey.

    weight gain how to dress?

    thank you! Thank you guys so much for the advice. I'm trying not to make the same mistakes I did a few years ago which only led to bad fashion and low self esteem. I think i'll go pick up some spanx today. But where would I buy a girdle? Do they work better than spanx? MissAmelia--I...

    weight gain how to dress?

    I've gained some weight and I really don't know what to do. Of course I'm trying to exercise and eat better, but I don't know what to do about style. I feel like I don't deserve to dress pretty, like I can't look good. (oh and to top this all off, my acne is coming back!) I hope the weight will...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Word. And I never said or would ever say that someone shouldn't be allowed to state their opinion. Everybody has the right to free speech (as long as it isn't libel, but I don't think that can be heard in criminal courts). I think it was Voltaire that said (correct this quote, i may be off)...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    of course not. Take for example transvestites like Eddie Izzard. Straight men who dress in women's clothing.
