What Style Or Designer Will Flatter My Size 10 Hourglass Figure?

I’m 5′ tall but petite clothes are too tight for me.
I used to be built like a stick, but since gaining some weight, I’ve developed curves. Frankly, it’s fun to have breasts and hips. I’ve worn some vintage-repro stuff (either a la Marilyn or Lucy Ricardo!) and those were the days that really revered those curves. You can’t believe how many compliments I get on my “Lucy” skirt and I feel so feminine!
It was lucky flukes that I found these two dresses. Where should I look to find something which will flatter my figure? The hourglass design makes my waist look smaller than it is, thanks to being rather hippy.
I’d also like to find some pants outfits which will accomplish the same this. It’s hard to find blouses with darts which taper into the waistline.
Remember I’m short. My clothes just hang on me. Help me get it together!
Incidentally, I can’t wear true vintage clothes because they were designed for very tiny women.

Question About Inspection Stickers On Cars?

I bought a car in Virginia a few weeks ago. I live in North Carolina.The inspection sticker is valid till 8/08. In North Carolina the stickers are in the bottom corner of the windshield in front of the driver and in Virginia they are in the lower middle part of the windshield. Will it be legal for me to have a Virginia inspection sticker in North Carolina?

If You Were Going To A Craft Show, What Would You Be Looking To Buy?

If you were going to a craft show this time of year, what would you be looking forward to buying?? Anything inparticular?
I make and sell handmade scrapbooking journaling tags and supplies and at the end of this month I am participating in being a vendor at a local craft show… I’m getting kind of nervous, so I’m just wondering what people are going to be looking for. I’ve never seen scrapbooking stuff at craft shows before, so I’m not sure if it’s going to be a hit or a miss.
I sell sets of journaling tags, each with a theme (halloween, christmas, alphabets, baby, highschool spirit, etc.) What kind of theme would YOU be interested in if you were browsing my booth? :) Thank you!

As A Business Owner Who Is Cutting Jobs, Is It Legal For Me To Fire The Ones With Obama Bumper Stickers?

I need to lighten the payroll by a few heads and the ones on my list are ones with Obama/Biden bumper stickers. Thank goodness I’m in a right to work state where I can fire anybody I want. To be fair, they are my worst performing employees so the Obama bumper sticker connection is just a coincidence.

Craft Fairs In Nottingham??

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any craft fairs coming up in Nottingham anytime soon or this year. I have looked on a couple of websites but there doesn’t seem to be that many.
The reason that I ask is because my girlfriend makes lovely handmade cards for all occasions and is hoping to make a bit of money back on them by selling them. She loves making them and it would give her something in return as well.
I would be grateful for any information.
Thanks.
Gareth.
