Hello! I am Kayla, and I live in a suburb of a suburb of Chicago AKA DeKalb. I recently graduated college and currently work full time. I've always loved 50s fashion, but just recently been able to purchase some dresses due to income and finally having somewhere to wear it. I own 4 PUG dresses, and wear at least one to work per week. I always get tons of compliments, so it's hard to say no to purchasing more dresses. I love cooking, baking, and sewing. I should've spent my 20s in the 1950s! :-)

My name is Erin (Cherry LaBoom)

I'm 37 and I live in Cherry, IL.

some of my hobbies? writing, photography, pinup modeling, roadtrips, movies, time with family and friends, perfumery, shopping...

naming a favorite PUG dress is hard! my "go to" dress is the Masuimi in black, works for everything! and favorite separate would have to be the vamp top in any color!

Hello lovely ladies! My name is Ivy, I am 27 years old and I live in the boring west suburbs of Minnesota, specifically in the hopkins/st. louis park border. I paint, draw, and sketch (samples in my pictures) and I sing in an electronic/pop band called Radar Secret Service. My favorite dress would be the Dames dress in Black Bengaline. I seriously wish I had enough money to buy ALL the dresses.

Boring West suburbs represent!  ;)  I'm in Eden Prairie and totally know what you mean.  Um, your band sounds amazing!  Do you guys play locally?  Nice to 'meet' you, Ivy!

Hi Ladies~I am new to the northland. I live just north of Grand Rapids MI. Currently my jobs don't allow 

me to wear PUG as I get to wear uniforms. My favorite PUG probably is the Military Secretary dress but

I love any of the wiggle styles. I too should have spent my 20's,30's and now my 40's in the 50's! I love

that style and that is what I look best in.

Ciao lovies~Maggie

Hello!  I'm Brittney!  I'm from a small town in Indiana near the Ohio boarder called Portland.  I'm 28.  I work non stop as a nurse and in my spare time, I play roller derby for the Cornfed Derby Dames under the alias Betty Fhite (Betty White lover much!)

I had my dream wedding.  1940's/WWII Themed. It was gorgeous.  My husband was a Marine, I was a nurse.  It was just perfect.  Well, a year later it ended right as they got rid of "Don't Ask. Don't Tell".  I never asked and he never told.  No hard feelings, but I was devestated. Being a thicker girl I went through the "All I have to Offer is sex" phase.  Once I started dressing in these clothes, my outlook changed.  I could be sexy, but not sleezy. I started buying more and more PUG clothes.  They made me feel FABULOUS!  When I wear these, I feel like I can take on the world.  Im not a lovesick person anymore.  I want to go out and help my friends/teammates that are going through rough spots. 

As for my fav, I love love love my Greta dress.  I also love my Bettie Swim Suit.  I couldnt live without it!

My name is Aija, pronounced eye-ya, and I live in Michigan. Currently I am saving up for a PUG dress and want to make sure the one I get is awesome on me. If anyone has suggestions on a great PUG dress for a short, busty, size 10-ish curvy gal let me know :)

I work full time as a legal secretary and I love to cook and do some competitive handgun shooting.
