I think it’s a pretty justifiable fear that many people have of being laughed at. If we’re honest with ourselves we’ll admit that it affects us more that we’re proud of…it’s why for some every item of clothing needs to have a luxury label on it (regardless of if they can truly afford it), or why in spite of that fact others have closets full of clothing they still complain about having nothing to wear, and God forbid the teenager next door be seen wearing the same thing twice in one week. The point I’m making is that the fear of standing out, of not fitting in holds us back from a lot of things we desire to do in life. This topic comes up in the Vintage Community all the time mostly because while many people love the fashions and styles of yesteryear, to bring them into today kind of makes you stand out like a sore thumb doesn’t it. It’s one thing to have that single unique vintage handbag, jacket or really gorgeous piece of jewelry that everyone loves, you may be stepping outside of the box but you’re still controlling it. You get to smile and enjoy the compliments when everyone asks where you got it from and how much thy love it. But when you’re dressing and acting in a manner that is blatantly from another time day in and day out, well; that’s something different. Something that people don’t understand at all. (Lol hell for all the stares you get you mine as well be a Goth) In fact in my personal opinion it takes more than just a “high opinion of yourself”. I know what you’re thinking “yeah, yeah, yeah all I want to know it how do I get people to not stare at me? How do I not look like a joke?” Well…You can google this question a million times, watch countless pinup/vintage lifestyle gurus that will all have their own formula for this very question. They’re ever a million YouTube posts on the subject but the truth is… It’s all BULL. There’s nothing you can do that will stop people from staring, let’s face it in a world where jeans, and tee-shirts are the extent of the general public’s fashion knowledge you are going to look out of place walking down the street with a pair of black Maryjanes and Cuban heel stocking under a full-skirt day dress with a crinoline slip underneath and your hair in victory rolls (as utterly fabulous as you and I both know you look). It comes with the territory, People either aren’t going to understand or will think you’re in costume, some will love it, some will stare just for the hell of it, and some will hate it. You just need to be strong in your choice because anything that’s different will always invite attention and ridicule at times. However as far as looking like a joke? Well that; I can help you with. I personally go by a saying ‘it only becomes a joke when it stops being you’. Like with anything else you need to keep in mind your personality, your body type and your essence per say to help you really determine what’s believable on you. Keep this in mind when shopping, you don’t want to buy random pieces and just be all over the place. Just like with modern clothing there is a time and place for certain outfits and more importantly certain styles look better on certain people (it’s a fact of life). Also if you don’t feel comfortable in what you have in people can sense and you will invite attention. In the end finding your niche is the key to stopping yourself from looking costumed, which is what we Dolls don’t want. A good way to do this it by narrowing yourself down. Determine which era looks best on you and using your body type is the perfect way to do it. . Throughout history even though the standard of beauty has ever evolved it has consistently always been associated with the body. To help give you a frame of reference these are the classic body type classifications according to how they would have been defined during our mom’s time (or grandma whatever). Pear Shape: Slim upper body, usually heavier on the bottom with rounded hips and bottom. These Dolls have amazing shoulders, halter tops and anything sleeveless is amazing on you. Pear shapes are also perfect for the styles of the sixties in particular their flattering A-line dresses. The seventies is also a great decade for the pear, the flowing fabrics and long skirts can have a nice lengthing effect to the pear Doll. You want to avoid heavy fabrics, as well as boxy and bulky fabrics, while a great blazer from the eighties may do you wonders; stay away from all seventies bell bottoms (trust me). Your best bet is dark colors on the bottom with splashes of color or a nice, fun print on top. Apple: The apple happens to be one of my favorite and what I like to call a buxom goddess. This Doll has great breast (often more than a handful ;)) and the double blessing of getting a set of awesome pipes too (I mean legs), but they aren’t hippy. Since many apples tend to carry extra weight in their mid-section your goal is to balance that out by tricking the eye away from the stomach. The 1950’s is a perfect decade for you, I can’t tell you enough how amazing you would look in the classic housewife dress, Or the famous 50s full skirt which will do wonders to add definition to your waist and give you that much needed volume to the hip area. The Seventies will also be very good to you Dolls particularly the sleeveless dresses and miniskirts (can’t forget to show off those pipes), but remember to keep away from styles that put emphasis on the mid section which is anything supper form fitting or with an empire waist. Rectangle: The Rectangle is the classic model, she’s evenly proportioned, slim. More commonly referred to as a boyish figure, not very curvy but her body is made for clothes especially designer clothes. Your perfect for the sixties mod era one of my favorites as well as the flapper and men’s inspired ware of the 20’s and 30’s. If you’re feeling daring you could also try your hand at the seventies gypsy look. Your lanky frame is perfect for lush, drapey fabrics, cap-sleeved tops and short circle skirts to give you a few examples. But stay away from bulky layers, things that swamp your small frame. Hourglass: My personal favorite considering this is my particular body type. We all know an hourglass when we see one but all women are not built alike so in the end an hourglass shape is this: Her bust and hips are measured the same or just nearly with her waist being visibly smaller. Your best era, the era you were made for is the 50’s that was the era that celebrated the hourglass figure (hell they were obsessed with it). Your best asset is your tiny waist (no matter what size you are), accentuate it at all time. The wiggle dress is your best friend, also get close and personal with the pencil skirt Doll they are flattering and nip in your waist to perfection (trust me I know). Lengths that fall at the knee and just below the knee are the most flattering on you, also belts should be your number one accessory. In the end it’s all about confidence and you deciding that you’re going to do this for yourself. You can’t stop anyone from doing something they want to do and when you’re different (and let’s face it we are ) people are going to be curious, so instead of finding you upset or turning the attention negative. Empower it, use it as an opportunity to educate people about another time, or just simply smile and remember that even though people often forget their manners at times they usually mean no harm the end.

Short Hair, are you thinking about a change?Searching for an edgy look to shake up your hairstyle? If you're tired of your long lengths, you may want to consider a shorter cut that will spice up your look while enhancing your facial features. Judging from the trends of the past year, it's more than likely that women will be experimenting with the shorter hair this next season. Here are some tips to keep your short hair modern.Try a Pixie Cut - with a short fringe and close cropped sides, this look is a great choice for the woman who likes litle maintenance. It's extremely chic and modern. Vidal Sassoon made this cut famous in the 70's when he cut off the long locks of Mia Farrow. Make a statement with your short hair by utilizing a deep part on one side while sweeping the hair across the other side of the face. Twiggy made this cut famous in the 70’s, which remains today one of my favorite short cuts. The asymetrical is another simple cut that works well, as the longer length can be styled many different ways. By adding soft layers to the other wise solid bob cut, encourages natural spontaneity in the hair. The image on bottom right can even be tied back into a short pony, or curled to deliver an even bigger change. Have your stylist use your temple to cut a geometric angle into the hair; be sure to put some product in to create volume and make the perfect shape. Lastly, try the classic Chin Length Bob that can easily be converted to create that supermodel look you've always wanted!Katie Holmes never looked better than when she was wearing her bob. Anna Wintour has been fidel to her bob most of her fashion career. The bob is perfect for fine textured hair like Marion Cotillard's hair as the one length adds weight and density to the hair. To look after your new cuts I suggest Iles Formula. Don't use hair sprays, mousses and gels, just Iles Formula. Come visit the site to know more about these sensorial, high performance hair care formulas: The Iles Formula Shampoo, Iles Formula Conditioner and Iles Formula finishing serum.

Research has shown that modern women spend, on average, $8 a day on their appearance. But we are fans of the natural look, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity to show you what women with no modern beauty procedures looked like. It seems like some beauty is timeless, and in previous centuries, there were plenty of people who could teach us a lesson or 2 about genuine, natural beauty.

‘Swept Away’ is a mid-century modern styled high-quality print, of Johnny and June Atomic, a retro couple dancing by a record player from the mid-century modern era, by the artist Scooter. All prints are professionally printed, packaged, and shipped. Choose from multiple sizes and mediums. I believe every person’s heart desires to be swept away in the arms of the person they love. When I was animating for Disney, we had a swing dancing craze hit the studio where everyone was learning how to swing dance. My wife Chrysti and I had a lot of fun learning swing dancing with all our friends. Around the same time Disney had just finished building its latest cruise ship and was offering everyone in Disney Feature Animation some amazing discounts to try it out. So Chrysti and I, and several of our good friends, took an amazing cruise to the Bahamas. One-night Chrysti and I snuck off to be alone and found ourselves dancing outside on the top deck of the ship, under a full moon, with a live band playing swing music. Even though there were other couples swing dancing we felt like we were the only ones. We had a blast that night dancing under the stars and making an awesome memory. This piece was inspired by that special night and celebrates those romantic times when you find yourself getting swept off of your feet and lost in the eyes of your forever dance partner! Our Deluxe Prints are printed on Luster Fine Art paper and some sizes come Double Matted. All of our fine art prints are printed on an Aqueous Printer using Archival Inks to provide the highest quality.

Example: an 11x14” print will have a Matte sized 15x18” *Please note: the 24x34” and larger sized luster paper prints will not come Matted, and will include a 0.5" white border around the print. These larger prints ship rolled in a tube. Our Giclée Canvas Gallery wraps are Fine Art stretched Canvas on a 1.5” deep wooden frame. Each piece will be produced on demand, made in the USA specifically for you, and will ship directly to you ready to hang! All sizes are width x height format, in inches.

That way, some measurements can be modified if necessary. They contain English notes as well as notches that make it easy to join the pieces of the pattern together. A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included. I'm afraid they do not include sewing instructions or - No hem or seam allowance. - No detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - No step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions.

I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.

Put some mystique in your room with this mural. © Bison Archives Materials MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY We strive to help you choose the right material for your wall mural project. Our products are designed to work on ideally prepared surfaces, preferably smooth walls with a high-quality paint and primer. While we do offer materials compatible with varying wall surface types, some paints may inhibit adhesion of peel-and-stick products, and some wall textures may not provide enough surface area to stick; a combination of those two make it even trickier. There are endless combinations of wall paint and wall textures out there and we can’t test all of them. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering swatches of our materials to test adhesion prior to installation. If you believe your wall surface may be a problem, please consider our pasted products, UltraStik™ (pre-pasted) and ProStik™ (requires paste), for a more universally compatible installation or take the necessary steps to properly prepare your wall surface as described in detail below. Modern Paint Formulations: Some modern wall paints can make self-adhesive (peel and stick) murals more challenging to install. Washable, durable, low-VOC and No-VOC paints may contain additives which can inhibit proper mural adhesion. Proper cleaning and dry time of the wall surface with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%) MAY significantly improve the adhesion. However, we highly recommend preparing the surface in advance using a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. If applying to newly painted walls, wait 10-14 days before installation. Unpainted drywall, or walls with inferior paint applications, may be problematic and need attention before beginning your mural installation. Contact Us if you have questions. Wall Textures: Many walls have been treated with an added decorative texture like orange peel, knockdown, stipple, etc. For these wall surface textures, it is crucial that they are properly prepared and the right mural material is chosen for peel and stick materials. If possible, consider smoothing out your wall texture with a skim-coating of drywall compound before priming and painting; this will give the ideal wall surface with few imperfections. If skim-coating is not an option, sand any rough areas and eliminate as many high spots and ridges as possible, and consider applying a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface.
