    Perms.

    In this case I would be careful not to roll the rods too tightly, I would also not roll it all the way to the scalp - I would take care to use plastic pins under the rubber band on the rod as to alleviate tension, therefore reducing the potential for breakage. A perm, done carefully and...

    Perms.

    Retired Hairdresser here...... most all hair can be permed - success depends on choosing the correct solution and rods for the hair type. By mermaid curls, I am assuming you mean like loose ringlets? A spiral rod perm can give this effect. They can also acheive this look using traditional...

    Any of the other colors in that blouse can be worn in a skirt or pants. What are the other colors? White? Cream? Pink... and the color of the buttons. Grey would be nice, pewter perhaps.

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    How tiny were they back then? lol. I am quite soft and squishy - I have no tone and I am rounded in the abdomen....so, I should try the 50's? ETA: It is the 50's that I thought I was playing with and I am looking for confirmation but maybe what I think is the 50's isn't lol My skirt...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    Odd thing is.... I do not consider myself all that shapely or Hourglass-y; I think of myself as fairly balanced, neither straight nor curvy... Hmm, well, I will check out that site that you mentioned and thanks for the suggesstion! :)

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    I guess from reading this thread, that with appr. 42" shoulders, 40" bust, 32.5" waist and 42" hips that I would be an Hourglass and that the 50's would suit me best? I like Victorian and 20's through the 60's styles. I adore Audrey Hepburns style and styles of the 50's sex symbols. :)...
