New Vintage Arrival: 1960s Shantung Silk Cocktail Dress in Indigo w/ Bow
An absolute favorite! Not just because it photographs really well (perfect for a red carpet appearance) but also because has fantastic fit, finishing, and details. It has a modified sheath construction with a little bow detail. The silk used is a very thick weave and has a beautiful subtle shine. This dress is a winner.

Janna Polzin in a 70's inspired Jersey dress from Cabaret for The Doras
When Janna Polzin, walked through our doors looking for a dress for The Dora Awards this past weekend, we had a wonderful time with her finding the perfect look. After a few different options were explored, Janna found this dress was the one for her and we think she looks spectacular!
Janna is appearing as an alternate in The Sound of Music and was part of the huge search last year for the title role of Maria documented on the series “How do you solve a problem like Maria?”. Check out Janna’s Blog for her post on her experience getting ready for the red carpet. Also if you are in toronto see The Sound of Music now playing at The Princess of Wales Theatre.
New Vintage Arrival: 1960s Pink and Silver Brocade Mini-Dress
If you look carefully you can seen the hidden relief-pattern in the brocade of giant gerber dasies on the fabric of this fun dress. Great for a party, it would look fabulous on darker skin tones.

Cabaret Vintage Streetstyle: Matchmade in Style Heaven
Now, this is one of our favorite matches of client and dress recently. This dress has been patiently waiting for the right person to take it home for quite a few months at the store (you may recognize it from some earlier New Arrivals pictures) but never found the right match. And then one of our favorite lovely ladies came in and saw the potential of this dress. With some minor hem alterations, its now headded off to a fantastic event.
