My grandmother lived in a large house that my dad calls a "mansion" and had outfits just like that in her attic, along with stacks and stacks of WWII Reader's Digests that i used to pour over every summer when we visited her until I almost feel like I can remember the '40s first hand.</p> <p>Unfortunately, the clothes and the magazines wound up in the landfill and we grandkids didn't even get any T shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-the-40s-1/page/2#post-1472730 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 13:16:12 +0000 harmonica 1472730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-the-40s-1/page/2#post-1472547 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 00:11:18 +0000 Carla 1472547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingy's.

Not vintage like some of my other pieces. I lucked out. The ones I used to wear, when I was a school girl, were from my mum and grandma... and I haven't been that tiny since middle school. </p> <p>The rolls take a little time, but not as much as one might think. What takes time is remembering how to do them, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-the-40s-1/page/2#post-1472416 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 19:30:00 +0000 Anonymous 1472416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spot on perfect, Rachylou!
