QUESTIONS FOR ME LEFT AS COMMENTS

    Hi, everybody.  Going back over a comment list, I saw several questions (and remarks that I would like to say Thank You for).  I’m not a techie and can’t find any way of responding to you without using my personal e-mail address. I’d prefer not to do that for security reasons.  Some people I have responded to by replying to a comment on their own blog pages.

If you have a blog and I can go there to answer you, please leave the address.  I’d be happy to! If you LIKE a post, or start to follow me I can find you, too, as I’ll be notified of that.  Sorry if this seems impersonal – it just seems wise to follow these guidelines in the cyber-world.

A couple of your questions had to do with blogging.  As I said, I am not a techie but I have found it easy to set up my blog with WordPress.  There are limits to what you can do, depending on whether you wish to invest any money in the process.  In terms of back-up of your material in the case of hacking – there may not be any.  One thing you can do is to buy a plug-in back-up stick and save everything daily.  That way, you’d have it on the back-up in case of a glitch.

Hope that helps.  I’ll see about other ways of enabling comments on the blog page.  Thanks for writing!

TRUE VINTAGE FULL-LENGTH CRINOLINE HALF-SLIP FROM THE 1950S

TRUE VINTAGE FULL-LENGTH CRINOLINE HALF-SLIP FROM THE 1950S Even if you don’t have a Fifties dress to wear with it, put it under any long dress with a full-enough skirt and it becomes a GOWN.  Just perfect to make an entrance at a holiday party. . . .

The full length, high-waist elastic slimming panel and back zipper are all unique. Crinoline netting is sandwiched between two layers of fabric for comfort and a smooth line.

Foundation garments were so important in the past – usually more issues to be considered than even now, like garters and boning.  Their design was a real art and a science.  There are companies now which make “foundation garments” and hosiery in the old style, if you want them.  I ran into one in Australia!

THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION – FINDERS’ CLUE #2

Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science.  Having lots of success at it DOES involve many pieces of knowledge, skill and experience that come together.  They seem simple and unexciting by themselves but they have made a big difference in my overall results.  Of course, there are more details involved with each one but the basic idea is where to begin.

FINDERS’ CLUE #2: BE OPEN-MINDED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR – even if you are seeking a special item, if you are too narrow in your view, you will miss things that are right in front of you.

Hope this helps.  Next clue in two weeks . . . . .
