Deauville Beach Fashion ala 1930s!

I always did love a wide legged pant.  Check out these great old pics Retronaut dug up of of folks frolicking at the beach in Deauville in the '30s.  So much classier than the beach goers of today, no?

The Finest D I Y Wedding Dress Ever!

Story found on Good Morning America
Chi Kreneta crocheted her own wedding dress over a 50-minute/day, 5-month commute!  She's an architect that learned to crochet from her grandmother and has put the skill to exceptional use, wouldn't you say?

Just for kicks I Googled vintage crocheted wedding dresses and found this on eBay.  French Victorian gown of Irish crocheted Lace for around $10K.
