So here it is, our very own thread

Let me begin by saying, whoever it was who mentioned Ruby Shoo, my bank balance won't thank you!

Pipbin thanks I've just searched and found loads, don't know why I never thought of that!

There's one near me too. I did some modelling for her and got a big discount got my first collectif for her!

Pipbin those are perfect!!!

OP your op reminded me that I must have seen Ruby Shoo mentioned on these here S&B boards a while ago, saw a beautiful gold and black pair on Amazon and added them to my wish list.

Promptly forgot all about them until I open a mystery Christmas present from DP and there they are! I didn't even know he knew I had an Amazon wish list! Love them (and him)

Boden also do really nice skinny belts Tali. Love your red coat, and pp's spotted circle skirt.

Tanaqui thank you!

Not the most flattering of pictures but here is today's dress.

User, the blue dress is stunning but not sure how it'll hang on you - it's "cut close to the body" and the model was 5'9". I reckon the Missoni-style one would suit you better, if you're happy with fulsome boobage :)

Obvious suggestion: order both and send one back!

Was having a lurk, but seen as we are discussing delightful outfits then I'm going to join in!

I'm a fan of the rockabilly look. I dress like it a lot when not in work, (used to be with bonkers accessories till dd came along). I think my style is starting to leak into work though now.
I live in pencil skirts and fifties style tops for work but love a good poofy dress and petticoat when out. I live in Lindy Bop and Collectif.

Lancashire that sounds lovely! Post some pics if you're comfortable with it I love seeing other peoples style

Unfortunately as a very large girl, I hide from the camera! I will have a look later.

Sainsburys often have some lovely pull on pencil skirts. I've a navy one with hearts and a lovely giraffe print one.

I love all the vintage styles. I'm a big fan of the sixties shift dress and forties tea dress.

But what do you all do in the winter? I'm wearing thick woolly tights and ankle boots, plus a heattech top squished underneath

Anyone seen FrauBraun? She does fun stuff at various fairs - saw her at one of the Vintage Festivals and at a V&A pop-up thing a while back - you get to dress up and take your own photo. Lots of great pieces, I have a gorgeous 30s cape and a 40s crepe dress, actually two from her. Last time I visited she had the ultimate find - a stunning handmade 20's wedding dress with a little matching jacket. No way I'd fit in it, would have to hang it on a wall or something. Always something interesting to catch your eye though even if its not your usual style.

Ooh hi all I like to dress with a nod to vintage..I am an hourglass but with v wide thighs. The tea dress is my fave but I also have some fifties style stuff from lindybop, collectif and all also collect vintage brooches

Marking my place on this thread, as I love vintage. I am leaning more towards sixties shift dresses at the moment, especially since cutting my hair short, the fifties style doesn't suit me as much. My problem is shoes, as I have really narrow long feet, so the dress is all sorted, but try don't go so well with trainers! I am looking for some cone heeled brogues, but can't find them anywhere.

I've just had a look at atom retro, thank you, Dona I love the corduroy pinafores but don't know if I'd dare.

I usually look on ebay for 70s vintage.

Love - long, slender feet are perfect 60s feet!

... but if you want cone-heeled brogues, mine are from Fly.

This is all very inspiring - I am in awe of how stylish you all are. Tali, I definitely want to see some more of your pics

Love that dress pipbin. I have been lusting after some tartan, have got a bit bored of all my clothes being predictably polka dot!

What did you wear when you were pregnant Tali?

Petite I wore my normal clothes up until I was 32 weeks and then just some stretchy jersey dresses. I had a tiny bump (never got bigger than 31cm).

User I'll put some pics up soon

Easier for me to link to my page! This is me (I don't post anything I don't want people to know so am not anon on here)

Hi can I join in, I'm into the rockabilly scene and wear vintage inspired repro daily except when I'm in my work uniform.

This is a photo from me last night with DH.

It's just finding the shoes that fit. Thanks for the info Garlic
