40s Womens Shoes and 30s/40s Top for Sale
1930s/1940s rayon blouse with button up front. Beautiful embroidered detail on the front of daisies. Has some fading on the left sleeve. I've worn this out before and in all honesty no one seemed to notice. Has some shine as I think someone got a little too heavy handed with the iron. One small...- lyburnum

40s Womens Shoes and 30s/40s Top for Sale
Heel Height: 3 ¼” Inner Length: 9 7/8” Width Across Sole: 3” I would guess these at a 4.5 – 5 UK shoe size. (US 7) These shoes are so beautiful and I would keep them if they weren’t half a size too small. I tried once to wear them out and could hardly walk by the end of the night! It has...- lyburnum

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Thank you, your comment is exactly what I did. My husband had a pair of 80s Brooks Brothers trousers he got from a thrift store for like $6, which we were going to send to the charity shop, until I realised if I tore them apart I could work out how on earth they put the pocket together. Much...- lyburnum

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Sewing Instructions Problem I'm having a bit of a problem understanding the instructions for putting in the small pocket in my husbands trousers. I simply cannot for the life of me work out what they're trying to tell me to do. There are two pieces, F, which are identical which are supposed...- lyburnum

Jeans
I have a question about the Prison Blues jeans. My husband is looking for a decent pair of jeans with a high waist, but the Levi's he bought when washed turned a very blue-blue and lost that deep blue he liked about them when he bought them. He bought a pair of Academi Japanese Selvege jeans...- lyburnum

Whirling Turban
I submitted a request for a wedding dress twice and they never got back to me. Put me off them entirely, as a week or two I can understand, but no reply at all? With two requests?- lyburnum

Baby Names? Vintage?
My name is Ximena, which sounds even weirder when you try and say it (I made Fleur say it how she thought it sounded before I gave her the proper pronunciation when we first met lol) It's actually said She-Men-ah. Or something like that, it's pretty impossible to spell it phonetically correctly...- lyburnum

The ones that got away
I had to make some tough calls on what I would let get away, because I couldn't afford to buy every lovely thing that I saw. Oh how I wish I were rich! Both exactly my size :(- lyburnum

I paid quite a lot of money for both of these, more for the sailor dress. However I guess I see them as vintage investment pieces, because they're in such great condition and I can't imagine myself tiring of them anytime soon. Plus I've wanted a good quality sailor dress for absolutely ages.- lyburnum

Show us your hair do's....
It's very very simple (and kinda lazy :rolleyes: ). I just put horizontal velcro rollers in three layers around the nape of the neck. I use very small velcro rollers for 1940s do's, no more than 1/2inch. There's nothing much to it, just try to keep the rollers low on the back of the head. I can... -

Todays hair. Last night I got home at 3am and literally just threw a hair net over it and went to sleep. Didn't even take out any of the pins :rolleyes: However his morning it was still holding its curl really nicely. It's my favourite set because it holds so well, and it's dead easy to do... -
Show us your hair do's....
Yesterdays hair: I ended up wearing the flower in the middle of my rolls when I went out. This was before work, so I put a hair net over my curls to hold them in place during the day. However I really liked how it looked so I kept it in all evening :rolleyes: -

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
It can also be due to the shoes. I swear by party feet gel inserts for the ball of my feet, but at the end of the day if my shoes don't fit right my feet are still going to hurt. I've had 2" heels that would kill my feet after an hour, and today I wore 5" heels and felt nothing. I've come to...- lyburnum

LADIES of the LOUNGE
That would be my Dad. He's very good at dressing smart, but TERRIBLE at dressing casually. The fashion disasters that happen when he tries to dress down are somewhat shocking considering the normally good taste he has.
