As a little girl I might have been known to hum “Someday My Prince Will Come” but now as a big girl, I am much more eager for prints to come. Pucci, Leonard, Bessi. Bring’em on!

The good news for them is that many Post Office branches will be open late to accommodate the folks who wait to file until the last possible minute. Meanwhile, millions of other Americans are basking in…
Since I’ve begun doing my weekly eBay Roundup of Vintage Clothing Finds, I’ve been spending a lot of time perusing eBay vintage clothing listings. And what I’ve found is that there are quite a few shortened dresses out there in auctions that don’t mention that they’ve been shortened! How can I tell? In some cases, because I’ve seen the original long version of the dress;…
