Ladies with Really Big Hats
It was an Ebay steal for $20. It is original according to the hatmaker who took a look at it. The details are beautiful, with the velvet edging, ribbons and fake flowers. The ostrich feathers are much more full than any modern ones I've seen. It was probably a nice hat in its day and luckily its...- D-Day-Doll

Ladies with Really Big Hats
Hopefully you don't mind some more modern photos of Edwardian hats in addition to the beautiful vintage cards. I'm in love with Edwardian hats, the bigger the better! Here I am with my biggest hat, although I wish I had enough hair for a Gibson girl style to really get the look down.- D-Day-Doll

Help me accessorise an Edwardian Walking Suit
I know this is a little earlier than the Golden Era, but I need help with how to put this outfit together! I'm aiming for a WWI era look. I've always wanted a walking suit and I'm thrilled that I just found this at an antique store. If anyone could help me date the suit and wear the proper hat...- D-Day-Doll

Asprin facial mask (im so dumb!)
What were you trying to treat with the aspirin mask? The theory behind the mask is that aspirin and salicylic acid are both derived from the same source so its thought that the same acne fighting qualities of the salicylic could possibly be found in aspirin. On another note, don't do salicylic...- D-Day-Doll

Show us your Guns!
Love this thread! I'll share some of mine. The 1915 Mosin Nagant and the 1898 Krag are mine, and the Enfield is my husband's. He also has an Enfield revolver. My dad collects guns and now he's passed the hobby down to me.- D-Day-Doll

Hair Removal
I am the lead clinician in a medical facility that specializes in pulsed light hair removal. I've had just about my whole body done and I am loving it!

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
That's exactly what my grandma used to do! She is from Paris and lived there during WWII. She used to buy cork soles in the style of wedges and then attach fabric uppers so they were peep-toe slingbacks. I have a picture of her wearing a pair. They looked like white canvas. I also thought of...- D-Day-Doll

Classic wide leg pants?
I just bought some of these pants from Metrostyle. Not all that authentic, but at least they're a wide-leg silhouette. Also they are quite cheap. Some of the colors, like the hunter green, are 40's looking...- D-Day-Doll

Show us your vintage patterns!
I just got back into sewing recently, its been a few years since I took some fashion and sewing classes in college. I can recommend the Eva Dress (www.evadress.com) patterns. I made the 1945 trousers and found them pretty easy to sew and alter. I made a muslin first, and am now making them in...- D-Day-Doll

Vintage Wedding Dresses
We had a vintage inspired wedding. My husband looked quite dapper as you can see from the pics. I saw a picture of Fred Astaire and I was like you have to look like that for the wedding! We had a 1940's vintage cake topper that we got from Gulden & Brown (http://home.att.net/~design-house/)...- D-Day-Doll

Looking for reenactor group, KS
The slightly darker one in both pictures is an original. The brighter yellow one (worn by our friend who is leaning against the wing) is a repro made by a guy in our unit who is a whiz at sewing. He made about half a dozen of them to outfit the unit for the filming. I think they were actually...- D-Day-Doll

Looking for reenactor group, KS
Our group is in the Chicago area, but maybe we'll see you if you go to any of the airshows in the Midwest. Our group does all aviation related impressions- Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, AAF, RAF, and RCAF. Recently the guys did a film shoot for the History Channel about the battle of Midway.- D-Day-Doll
