    I'm really enjoying this thread! So nice to have a place to share these purchases with people who really 'get' it. And I gotta say I love love love that white cloche, Pink Dahlia! Jen

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    warbird - I love Sangrias too. I'm taking note of your recipe! Smithy - oh my. My dad is a big fan of Dubonnet Rouge. The Bentley is going to go over big next Sunday dinner. My drink these days is the Champagne Cocktail. And recently, at home without bitters but with a bunch of left-over...

    Bogart Hat pics - Bullets or Ballots (1936)

    And excellent pics of Bogey they are too. Renderking asked a long time ago if 'Bullets or Ballots' is available on DVD, and it is. I have it as part of my Warner Bros 'Tough Guys' collection, found on <a...

    VINTAGE FRIENDLY DEODORANT

    Fleur De Guerre - I didn't have the face sweating problem when I tried Drysol, I stopped mainly because of the pain and after using it for awhile it starts to lose it's efficacy. On the other hand, I have a couple friends who swear by the stuff. I sweat like nobody's business, so I know the...

    Favourite Scents

    Since I just received my first batch of samples from The Black Phoenix Alchemy lab today, I've been reading your posts in this thread with interest! I haven't worn perfume for awhile, but I'm thinking of starting again. A couple pages back, JazzBaby mentioned having perfumes that reminded her...

    VINTAGE FRIENDLY DEODORANT

    I have just discovered dress shields too! They are very useful indeed. I don't know whether I really recommend this - but I have used Drysol in the past. It's a serious deodorant that you use overnight. Basically blasts your sweat glands into submission for days at a time. After showering in...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Hiya - still new here, but I have been sewing for awhile now, and this thread looks like a wealth of information. ShooShooBaby - for tracing patterns, what I like to use is thin plastic that I buy in big rolls at the hardware/home reno store. It's inexpensive. I think they use it for drop...

    40's fashion footage

    I haven't seen it before - sweet! I am amazed at the versatility of Bemberg rayon! ;) Actually, I really am impressed by what sort of fabrics can be made from rayon - I didn't know you could have a rayon chiffon.

    Am I the only hat wearing girl in the Northwest?

    I've started wearing my hats too! Is western Canada close enough to the Northwest? :) I have a couple modern ones - a winter black felt smooshy one with pink velvet roses, a crushable 'straw' hat for the summer and my two new vintage purchases: wide brimmed tilted black Ingrid Bergman in...

    Dressing the Sportswoman

    Thanks, Lady Day :) Tailored jackets are one of the final frontiers for me - at least as far as sewing goes! - those and gloves.

    Dressing the Sportswoman

    I just recently re-watched 'Top Hat' (1935) and Ginger Rogers' outfit in the 'Isn't it a Lovely Day' number came to mind - especially given your camel and black plaid fabric. I've found a vintage herringbone riding jacket and have been inspired to gather together more vintage pieces to replicate...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Parallel Guy - That's fantastic! I haven't actually done that with the calendar, but I have thought of doing it before. I have a group of friends with an interest in pin-up calendars and we've discussed this very thing! Great minds think alike :) I'm Jen. I try to work vintage clothes and...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    KittyT - Roller Derby? Too nifty :) I'm Jen, also new, also overwhelmed by the wealth of information in the FL, but happy I've finally registered. I have a modest collection of vintage clothes and reproductions - I started off being involved in science fiction/fantasy costuming but also a...
