A veritable museum, this shop stocks clothes that call to mind everyone from Judy Garland to a young Mick Jagger, with the odd piece of vintage Victoriana thrown into the mix. Gems include an Edwardian white cotton lace blouse with a high neck ($125), 1920s silk stockings ($18–$65) in their original packaging, and ’40s Bettie Page pumps ($75–$120). A little black cocktail dress from the 1940s (from $65) or a full-skirted ’50s prom dress (from $75) make a dramatic entrance at any party. Less pricey items include ’60s and ’70s printed cotton dresses (from $55) and beaded cashmere sweaters (from $75). Purse options range from classic alligator (from $85) to ornately beaded clutches ($75–$225).
