    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    I sometimes feel middle-aged when I'm around college students! This year I'll be celebrating the 8th anniversary of my 29th birthday.

    Screen Names...

    Doe is a nickname that a few of my friends and colleagues began using. It is short for Dorinda. I don't prefer nicknames, but I felt comfy with Doe and it's easier for people to say and remember.

    Vintage Daily Wear

    How wonderful to have an opportunity to wear your gowns! I had a couple of lovely ones from the 1940's, but I finally gave them away to someone who would actually get a chance to wear them. I felt so bad that they were just hanging there in my closet not being worn. :cry:

    Whitney, I never thought of the Singer store! I'll have to look into that one myself. I am looking into the community classes at LACC on Vermont in Hollywood. They have a basic sewing class and an alterations class. Their community classes usually meet about 6 - 8 times once a week. So I'll...

    Vintage Shoes

    Yes, yes! I remeber when they were so reasonable and I took a little trip down there a few months ago and I think one vendor was charging about $35 dollars. Oh well!

    Vintage Shoes

    Hey Miss T, I LOVE Olvera Street! That's one of my favorite places to be. I always drool over those tooled leather wedgies. Unfortunately I haven't been blessed to go down a size, but I've actually gone up a size (my feet are wrecked from years of ballet). So the zapatos at Olvera Street and...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    I feel the same way. I just received new patterns from Schissorhappy! I think Miss Tayva suggested that one on another thread. They also sell vintage fabric, so now I'm looking for a sewing class. As much as I like some of the repro stuff, it is a bit pricey. Also I never wear the pieces to...

    Vintage Shoes

    I do agree with you about the soles. I invested in some orthodics a while back to support my feet and spine. They seem to solve the thin sole problem. I've also had some success more economical (but sturdy) inserts at my local pharmacy. Yes, I am pleased with the just the black peated pumps...

    Vintage clothes - where do I find them?

    Thank you for the great advice! I've become disenchanted with thrift shops here in the city over the years. I experienced a dry spell in finding clothes from the 30's - 50's. But you've renewed my interest again!

    Wow! What a great experience!! I have those fantasies all the time. That some little old lady would say "I have clothes that are just about your size from the 30's and 40's. Would you be interested?"

    Vintage Daily Wear

    This has started happening to me also! Sometimes people will buy something vintage and never wear it or they'll have something from their grandmothers and they will give me great things for free! People at work will sometimes say they look forward to seeing what I'll wear the next day.

    Vintage Shoes

    I've had good luck with repro shoes at newport-news.com. May I suggest the black, pleated round-toe pump item #MS15371 and the peep toe sandal #4G24067. I also love remixvintageshoes.com. He has vintage as well as repro shoes. They are a bit pricey, but well-made. Unfortunately I wear a size...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    Hi Everyone, I was just curious if everyone is able to dress traditionally (or vintage) everyday? Especially at work. I also wondered what kind of responses you get from other people. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to dress traditionally at all of my jobs. Sometimes I get some...

    How did you find the lounge?

    I was googling for vintage 40's babydoll pumps and found the Powder Room.
