In Short
This ultra-feminine vintage shop on Echo Park's hippest block attracts a constant stream of eager shoppers, many lingering to socialize. There are sleek '60s slacks and sweaters for the fellas, but the focus is on ladieswear, Victorian through 1970s. From psychedelic polyester swirl housecoats to silky rayon print dresses, lace-edged bias-cut 1940s slips to beaded mohair sweaters, scarves, Bakelite, handbags and hats, the quality is high and prices reasonable for increasingly rare classic pieces.

Perfect for dressing up/events

This store always has really unique dresses and other items appropriate for going out, dressing up, dances, or dinners. The consignment prices are stringent but the owner of the store is very very helpful and kind. The atmosphere is conducive to shopping and there is little pressure on you to make decisions right away. I'd recommend going here if you are looking for vintage dresses, jewelry, and shoes. It's not a huge selection but the things they do have are always high quality and very pretty.
