    New in town and seeking a stylist...

    I am also looking for a new stylist in New Orleans, LA. I've been trying to find a stylist with a specialty or at least an interest in vintage hair with no luck. If I go to a modern stylist with the directions for a middy they always try to adapt it to a modern technique and it's not quite...

    Linda Przybyszewski -- Remember the Name!

    I am curious to see what tone this book takes. I took home ec in 9th grade (2000) at my school but it was an elective and they didn't call it home ec it had a fancier name of course. However most of my sewing skill came from my mother. Being a tall girl it is very rare for me to find vintage...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    There is a shop called Diva Dollz that does great vintage style dresses and separates. Unfortunately they only have two locations and very little web presence. I live in New Orleans where they have one location and happened to walk by the other location today while in Seattle. But I saw this...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I have also noticed I get better service, more doors held for me, and more attention in general when I dress vintage. Even if it's just a dress and lipstick people seen to really respond positively to it. Means a lot more cat calls too and a few "marriage proposals" (already married) but I don't...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Just did my first successful transfer of a MAC Russian Red to a 1950s Hudnut case. When I bought the case for $3 it had a never been used Radiant Red in it but it was to far gone to use. Got so sticky the holder wouldn't turn and I had to scrape it all out, dismantle it, and give it a long...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    This isn't exactly about a comment I got while dressing vintage more of a slight, but since this seems to be the thread for venting your vintage dress frustrations I'll give it a go. I dress vintage (mostly 1940s and 1950s) on a regular basis especially for special events. In my experience it is...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I passed by a girl today with the most amazing victory rolls and I complmented her on them. I then realized I was walking past the WWII museum and she must be in their stage show. I really must go see that show and dress for it.
