Red Velvet: Dress Shop

Sigh.... this dress shop is my pride and joy. I spent the last year (before we bought the store) curating a sizable collection of magical vintage dresses and then felt as if I'd landed on the moon when we purchased the collection from The Style. It was pure magic! My favorite part of the store opening process was personally picking out hundreds of dresses for the displays and racks. Simply put, I'm crazy for vintage dresses. 

The new shop has dress racks inspired by "Betty, Joan and Peggy" (of MadMen), racks inspired by the seasons, lots of mini dresses and even formals and bridal. My friends are all very proud of me for not keeping all the dresses for myself... although I totally want to sometimes.♥ 

Thanks for taking a peek at the new shop! I'm beyond thankful for all of the supportive comments and kind words we've received this week... and super tickled to hear all of this "road trip talk". YAY! We'd love for you to visit. XO. els

Oh wow!! I would work in your shop for free.
I am in love with the hat on the green mannequin head and if you want to sell it to an Aussie then I am your girl!
