    Long Vintage Hair

    If my hair was long enough I'd love to wear it like Julia Timosjenko. It almost looks like a crown and I think it would look great with a 40's gown at a coctail party. :D http://images.bm4.metropol.dk/214/214176/214176_normal.jpg Speaking of long hair... I've long wanted help with this. I...

    Colors for Redheads

    I agree with Jitterbugdoll. I'm a natural redhead but I use Henna to make the colour stronger. When I was younger people always said to me I looked great in green and I ended up wearing a green garment every single day. After some years I got sick of it and started to experiment with other...

    Gosh! What a nice pair of slippers. Are they new or vintage? I'd love to have a slippers like that while making my poridge in the morning. :) And the shoes above are gorgeous too, of course!

    Vintage Knitting!

    Great idea! Yes, what a great idea! :) I just love the 'blouse and hat' and the 'surplice sweater blouse'. I can't knit myself (yet) but I'll definitely ask a friend to make a 40's sweater for me. It's such a useful garment. It goes very well with a pair of modern blue jeans as well as with...

    The BIG hat road-trip (Crazy Hat Idea Part II)

    Stockholm, Sweden. I have a friend in Stockholm who´s going "home" to London on regular basis. Don´t think she knows about the Fedora Lounge yet. Better tell her. Then I know Belly Tanks (in Copenhagen) travels to Stockholm now and then so it shouldn´t be any problem passing it on by hand...

    CRAZY HAT IDEA...

    What a wonderful idea! I'm in if anyone feels like taking a little trip to the northen part of Europe :) What's going on with the hat at the moment? Did you come up with a name? The sketch book idea sounds great and so does the idea of having a "Hat Travel Documentation" thread as Siirous...

    Show us your hair do's....

    You all look stunning, ladies! :) Millenerymiss: Yes I've done rag curls and as you say it came out a bit frizzy, don't know why. It's probably hard work getting nice curls, as it is with all the different curling methods and I'm certainly not a curling guru yet, but I like the easy part when...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Thanks! maisie: No, I bought it in a vintage shop :) Actually I wouldn't want to wear it to a dance 'cause the fabric's rather thick and I would litterally melt away but a nice sunday stroll would suite it fine. You are right about how the dress stands on it's own. It doesn't really need...

    I had written a long reply and was just about to post it when I started to cut and paste with the images and it all disapeared with a magical *poof* :( Typical! Unfortunately I don't have the patience to re-write it but I was saying something like, I love all of your purchases and wish I could...

    Women's fashion quality- Pre Vs Post WWII

    Yes, I'd say it definitely was a direct result of the war. When such a thing happens people are sort of reborn again I believe. After the war the majority must have wanted everything to be different so to forget the past and move on forward and as a result of that everything from fashion, music...

    Here's some audio from WWI

    Wow, thanks for posting those audio links! It's so fascinating listening to the real stuff instead of just reading about the songs and the speaches and about what happened. It gives you a much more realistic perspective of what life was in those days. :)

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello! I've been looking for a forum like this for a while and was thrilled when I found The Powder Room here after linking my way through sites of the 30's and 40's. Been thinking for a long time I was the only one having this interest, couldn't find anyone anywhere loving The Golden Era as...
