mediocreprincess asked: So after reblogging so many of your posts and just generally admiring this blog, I figured I should take a moment to tell you that I am completely in love with everything here and hope that you never stop posting. I'm currently a film/animation student, but I considered going into apparel for a long time and this blog is making me wish I did.

thank you so much. and it is never too late to follow your dreeeaaams.

In honor of my recent engagement (!!!!!!) I am posting my all time favorite wedding dress. Maybe I want to be a bridal designer because I can’t wear a dress to my own wedding? hmmm maybe I can just go in drag and wear this.

captain-rachel asked: I found you though FYHMHB and I have to say... wow. I'm normally not the kind of girl who gets that into clothing. (I went about 4 years without wearing or owning a pair of heels, I usually wear blue jeans and a wife-beater) but this... it's just amazing. I'm currently writing a fanfiction where almost every other chapter has the main character dressing up, and I find myself wanting to write a bunch of chapters RIGHT NOW so that I can dress her up in some of these amazing outfits.

Thanks! Share your writing with us when you are done :)

havenotweaffections asked: I don't really have a question, but just wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous posts. In case you didn't notice, I had a bit of fun going through them all and I apologize if some part of your dash is filled we something close to a hundred likes by me...or perhaps you are used to the attention with so fabulous a site! As an individual with a great interest in both history as well as many aspects of film and theatre like costume design, these vintage pieces are such a source of inspiration to me! Thanks again, good luck to you in you own fashion endeavors, and keep posting wonderful things!

Thank you so much!
