I had a lovely suede jacket with fringe in 6th or 7th grade. That would

Being 5' 11'' myself, and having hit that height before most of my Jr.

I have noticed watching Marie Antoinette, that many of the gentlemens hats
are made form a bowl shaped brimmed and not a flat brimmed blank.
Is this a later fashion, than the original where it is a flat brim?
I have noticed it especially in films wich takes place in France.
Anybody know
I would be interested in your advice for my 21 yr old daughter. She is 5'9
and long and thin. Small bust. She often wears things that are less than
flattering. I know what looks wrong on her, but I don't know what would look
better or what she should avoid.

My daughter got a vintage dress for her high school prom. She is 5'9 and
naturally thin. The (long)dress was strapless, but you could put on
spaghetti straps for the 8th grader. It fit to the seam at the waist. It

I've been enjoying this thread quite a bit. I graduated in 1972, in

I remember fringed jackets as Western wear. My mother had one that
she had purchased in the early 50's. She's never quite forgiven me

Maybe someone's mentioned this already, but the very best style for a tall
