Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there.... Post by: DesmoLu on March 30, 2010, 06:27:39 PM ummm, i kinda hate you now for posting this. I have $0 to be spending on clothes, which is helped out by the fact that I don't usually like anything in fashion in the stores but NOW, NOW thanks to YOU, I am lusting after everything on this site.
naughty, naughty ninja! now, do the sizes run true to the size chart? if so, I don't get it. what's the point in a shop devoted to pinup girl clothes when they use the same size chart as every other catalog? bust = large, waist = small, hip = medium. end result = buy stretchy clothing Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there....

So far I've only bought one thing, and I'm a curvy gal so I ended up in a LARGE size and it fit pretty well. They have different size charts for each item so take your measurements and size them up with the chart. I've seen a lot of people post measurements on facebook to ask what size they should order for a particular item and PUG is really good about helping. If you don't have FB then you can probably email them if the size charts don't really follow your measurements. I'm pretty uneven in that I have huge tits and big hips but a teeeeny waist so I hover between M and L. I ordered the dress bigger figuring I could tailor the waist if needed. Trust me, this is the one site that doesn't fall into the typical fashion spectrum with skeeny bony girls... I don't have a lot of moolah to spend on clothes either, that's why I wait for the bombshell blowout every weekend. They always do a lot of stuff up to 70% off. I need shoes for that dress, so I'll just wait till those are on super duper sale as well. :-) Blah blah blah blabber blabber and such. Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there....

Damn you. Love you. [laugh] Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there.... Post by: DesmoLu on April 30, 2010, 09:00:23 AM on a similar note, any of you gals ever ordered a girdle online? I've been looking for a vintage one. much cheaper than a corset. nothing modern and stretch, just an old school 1950's 36-24-36 girdle.
I have a couple of vintage dresses that were my grandmother's that would require one for me to get into them. damn that, its all the hormones in our modern milk I swear! Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there.... Post by: Betty Rage on April 30, 2010, 09:05:07 AM I've never bought a vintage girdle, I'd be interested in finding that out too. I've also noticed how all vintage clothes are like, size 2! I guess girls just weren't bigger than that back then??? It's something that's always mystified me.

Post by: Princess on July 27, 2010, 06:20:52 PM .... well back then, they had to walk to school in the snow... 15 miles... uphill... through thickets of holly bushes... while being chased by packs of wolves... in bare feet... carrying a school book satchel weighing 100 lbs...
so they basically didn't have any of the creature comforts that we have like iPhones or cars or motorcycles or television or 8-track players or popcorn. I think the guys back then had to use stone tipped spears to bring home dinner. Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there.... Post by: badgalbetty on July 31, 2010, 03:45:24 AM It is true that women were smaller many years ago. There was very little in the way of creature comforts as we know them today. My mother lived in England and started work in the bank in 1946 as a junior secretary. She had to walk 5 miles to the bus stop in all weathers, 7 miles on the bus to town and then 30 miles on a steam train into London. In 1947 she bought a bicycle and rode to the bus stop every day until she married my father in 1960 and she moved to London with him.I remember her telling me the best thing she ever bought was her bike which is funny because when I started motorbiking in 1979 I said the same thing!
Things were better in past days I think, life was more pure, go outside and play was what you did when I grew up, no tv,no telephone and only a radio in the house for news that my dad listened to when he came home from work at 6 pm before supper. Good memories! Title: Re: For all you rockabilly/pin-up girls out there.... Post by: ducatigirl100 on June 28, 2011, 05:55:13 PM On another note :)
