I am looking for a dinner suit for my husband, for a black tie event. The suit should have approximately the following measurements:
Jacket : shoulder to shoulder seam 17-17.5″, underarm to underarm 20.5-21″, sleeve from shoulder to cuff 25″, sleeve from underarm to cuff 17″.
Trousers: 35″ waist, 33″ inner leg, 43-43.5″ outer leg (these are measured on modern trousers that fit him).
Style wise we are favoring the 30′s and 40′s eras. Help would be most appreciated!

I guess we all want our daughters/sons to be well balanced but ambitious and dynamic is very much a character trait so not at all sure that is something we can nurture unless it is already there. You just need a lot of patience, give a lot of love and encouragement and remember you are their role model oh and it helps to have a sense of humour:)

The concept is simple, the delivery is tough. Our children want our love, affection and attention; so when they do something good, no matter how small give them tons of praise, affection and encouragement. If you give them attention when they do bad things, they will continue to do those things because they are getting your attention, which they crave. So in the case of bad behaviour; distract, divert and ignore.
Tops tips:
Smacking doesn’t work – it just shows children if you are bigger and stronger it’s ok to use violence on someone smaller and weaker.
Don’t be afraid to be silly, get down and play, you will love it.
When you talk to children don’t tell them stuff, ask them lots of questions instead, “why do you think that happened?” “What would happen if?,” Can you see where?”

It would be great to find a 1950′s cream/white bolero and shoes to go with my wedding dress! Also, a delicate and simple cream/white alice band and pearls

Comment on Personal thoughts on charity shops selling vintage by Emma

I agree with what you say. Its a growing trend for charity shops to start playing at vintage selling. In a small market town near me, no less than two have complete rooms set aside for ‘vintage’ and another has a rail for vintage. I don’t buy anything from charity shops anymore and if I had to rely on them for stock like I had to when I started out, I’d be out of business. The rot set in some time ago when they started recruiting people with retail experience and since then most of them have gone distinctly ‘corporate’. Its a shame…..

Morning Natalie, the stallholders will see this, I’ll also let them know, and then we’ll see what they can bring along!
