Thank you for having me here!

Hi Every one am called Pauline.
I always had 3 long term interest, ladies fashions, social history and collecting.

I found form the Internet photo etc of vintage fashions and realized this was a ways of been able to combine all my interest.
Initially I bought some small ladies accessories, powder compacts etc from the 1920's later a 1950's Dior Suit.
I tried this on and loved the look and feel of it, however it's hard to find vintage clothes in my size.

I had worn the occasional items of modern clothes since around 16 never in the context of trying to look like a lady.
I realized if I could not find a complete vintage outfit to wear then modern fashion would be a great alternative.
To cut a long story short a few years ago I started wearing ladies fashions, today I wear modern styles and items from my small but growing collection of vintage fashions.

Thank you Pauline

Hi Pauline, and welcome. Don't let Kay kid you. She only thinks she is vintage. I am closer to vinage and I am only 62. Now if Kay was 105 she could call herself vintage lol

Hi Pauline and welcome to our forum. We hope you will enjoy. As for the vintage stuff, I, like some of the other girls here am in my early 60's. I too like some of the retro or vintage fashions, and yes, they are scarce in the larger sizes.
