    During the war, if you wore a turban, fur coat and slacks you were considered rather common!!!! Often turbans were worn over curlers in the daytime, then the hair could be combed out in the evening into a nice page-boy bob. I never wore one though.

    Thank you for the simple straightforward tutorial. The American ones seem to have to include a lot of talking about themselves and taking too much time to get to the point. I appreciate your help. Thank you. 🙃✌️😈

    How cute! I've been wanting to try this 40's style--my *favorite* era for fashion. Thanks for this!

    Love it, I've taken to wearing a headscarf when doing housework, who'd have thought the Hilda Ogden look would be so popular?

    Nice! I'm a diesel mechanic and I've been looking for an easy way to cover up my hair while I'm at work, and this looks perfect. I've been growing my hair longer, and it's getting long enough to get caught under the wheels of my creeper, which is painful and dirty lol

    I've always loved the 40's look. I just dressed up as Rosie the Riveter for Halloween. I struggled to make the scarf work. I was using fabric that was too big, but it worked. At the end of the night, I loved how it had made my very curly, short hair look. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

    I remember wearing a turban headscarf in a Ryvita factory in the 1970s. It looked quite attractive and I used to wash mine in hot water so the garish yellow cotton faded to a pretty pale shade.Pity the factory workers now who have to wear those ugly nets. This morning I made a scarf with fabric 30" x 30" and remembered how to tie it. So handy for some deep cleaning in the kitchen!!
    This is a nice easy to watch and listen video, well done Retro Chick.

    @katejones969 Před 4 lety +3

    What are the best dimensions for a scarf? I have 2 square silk scarves, 1 doesn’t cut it length-wise ( maybe i have a massive head since ppl these days are so much bigger), the other scarf is very thin & hand painted, like tissue paper & has a rip... so what is the ideal size & silk type for this exercise?

    Twisting the little floppy bit at the front = genius. My little floppy bit sometimes falls out (oo err) and makes the scarf untidy.I will be sure to twist next time!

      +Belinda Jayne if you pin it at the back and sides it will help keep the scarf in place while you tie it.
      It might be that the scarf is too small, or you are trying to tie it too far back, it's best to tie it low over your forehead, you can adjust it back once it's tied.
