  Where to buy women's steampunk costume bits, size 14?

  2 0 Arkham, if you like shopping online, definitely check out Retroscope Fashions for new gothic/victorian/steampunk-ish separates (www.retroscopefashions.com). They cater to many sizes, so fit shouldn't be an issue. The other online retailer I'd suggest is www.historicalemporium.com. HE is a dealer of several different brands that produce period clothing designs as new clothing. Again, there's a wide range of sizes. If you want to shop locally, Bedlam Bedlam might be a good option for you (on East Pike). Mishu could be another good place to look - they've got a store in Fremont, and I think they've got another location on Cap Hill, but I haven't been there. If you like strolling the online hall of Etsy, there are about a bajillion people making their own steampunk clothing and accessories. If you can account for shipping time, and you have a good idea of the look you're going for, that would be a fantastic way to go as well. rickibot answered in Costumes 20 days ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  0 0 Oh. Well, that's a bummer that explains a lot, as Tracy said. Sigh, HBO, sigh. Now if only they'd be quicker about that whole releasing-shows-to-DVD thing. rickibot commented 2 months ago

  Locally made jewelry on the low end...?

  1 0 If you don't care about buying in person, you could shop online and still buy local. Try going to Etsy, clicking the 'Buy' tab on the top left of the main page, click 'Shop Local' on the right, then input your location (city or zip, depending on just how local you're going for). You can limit your search results to jewelry. I just performed this search for Seattle, and got thousands of jewelry items. It's a good way to shop locally when people haven't expanded their production enough to get their wares into a local store. There are some talented people doing their thing on a really small scale around these parts. Disclaimer: I do not work for Etsy, I just prefer shopping online. The mall is my Waterloo. rickibot answered in Women's Fashion 5 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  0 0 Thanks for the sourcing recommendation, asteria. Your parents' experience seems pretty consistent with the reviews I'm reading - some people have replaced their old machine with the same model, only new, and the new machine doesn't work like the old one does, probably because the new ones are manufactured somewhere else. We're definitely looking for a way to package extra food for the fridge or freezer. I don't think I'd be comfortable vacuum-sealing meat and not cooling it, except for jerky, maybe. rickibot commented 6 months ago
