Theresa is finally back from her summer buying trip with tons of gorgeous vintage clothing. We're very excited about all the lovely vintage party dresses we have to offer for the upcoming holiday season. Also, If you've been loving all that chic early 60's clothing worn by the ladies on that hot new series, Mad Men, then you've come to the right place. You can get the look right here, because we'll be adding a fabulous selection of Mad Men style dresses, along with 40's and 50's cocktail and evening dresses, vintage prom dresses and 70's designer dresses.
We're now in a frenzy working on getting everything cleaned and photographed so we can start listing all of our new vintage finds asap. In the meantime, check the site for markdowns on select vintage dresses. Our storage space is limited and we need to make room for all this new stuff!
