Sewing Lessons & FAQ
That would be really pretty. I saw it done a few times when I worked at a theater, the places didn't seem to mind doing just one garment. I'm not sure about the specifics though. I think we used a place in New York called Stanley Pleating. There's also a place in Brooklyn called S.F...- BettyValentine

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Oh nooooo. No one touches my scissors. When I got my first Gingher wardrobe I went up to my then-fiance and made him sit down while I picked up all the scissors, tied ribbons to their handles, and said "Never, ever use scissors that have a ribbon on the handle. Ever. For anything. There are...- BettyValentine

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Does anyone have any suggestions for learning tailoring for men? I want to try my hand at making some suits (I'd love to do some lovely tailored 19th century menswear). I'd love suggestions for good books on the subject. (Ideally, books with copious illustrations!) BV- BettyValentine

Cigarette Girls
I've heard about cigar/cigarette/candy girls before, but I can't find any pictures. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I would look for pictures of them? :D Thanks! B- BettyValentine

Dare I start a doll thread?
Oh, I just love Ellowyne Wilde! She's got the most adorable clothes. I want them for myself! This one doesn't have hair yet. She's supposed to have Louise Brooks hair, but I haven't found a good wig for that yet. This one is my husband's doll. (the photo was taken by the woman who did her...- BettyValentine

Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood
I got this catalogue yesterday, and I think it's really cute but my first thought was definitely "Wow, they shopped her legs longer!" I want to hire that shopper to follow me around and make my legs longer all the time.- BettyValentine

Show us what you've made!
OK, got a pic of the inside. It's not very pretty. I laced it since I took the last picture, and I didn't want to take it all out because I put rabbit ears in there. The stuff I used to lace it isn't pretty though. I've got proper lacing coming in, but this worked in a pinch. (Also, cell-phone...- BettyValentine

Show us what you've made!
This one is my latest. I have been in the most absurdly pink mood lately! I look awful in pink, so I'm just going to have to keep it to underthings. :D Next i need to make a chemise so I can actually wear this. I've been procrastinating because chemises are terribly boring. Le sigh! BV -...- BettyValentine

A Strange Question...
Do you have a very flat stomach? I've noticed that a lot of narrow-skirted dresses from the late 50s/early 60s have a little bit of a curve cut into the front of the dress. I assumed it's to accommodate that little bulge right below the navel that most women have. But if you have a very flat...- BettyValentine

Parasol question
Does anyone know the name for those parasols that aren't shaped like umbrellas? They have a point on the top and sort of bell out ... if that makes any sense. I think they often have a scalloped edge. I'm trying to find a picture to post, but I haven't had any luck. I want to acquire one...- BettyValentine

Gentlemen's attire--do you indulge?
Cufflinks, suspenders and hats! Now, if I could find a really good tie and tie pin I'd be in heaven. Menswear amazes me. I worship tailors.- BettyValentine
