Every so often a film comes along that feels less like a movie and more like a place you want to live. The characters in it could be friends. With the movie "Practical Magic 2" just around the corner, I've been thinking about that wonderfully romantic 90's era...the velvet and lace trimmed jackets and dresses, long skirts that brush against distressed leather boots and clothing that looks like it has lived a beautiful life.
This week, I opened a long-forgotten box of such clothing--most likely from one of my many moves. In it, I found some gorgeous pieces, like the thick grey velvet bias cut dress with a ruffle at the hem....several vintage slips that can be worn a dozen ways...little black knitted cardigans to layer over a simple outfit...a beautiful rayon bias cut long black skirt trimmed with lace...etc.
Too many pieces to talk about....better to be seen in person. Some are one-of-a-kind, some are old-stock from Tattered Rose and a few are my own pre-loved pieces. All have been laundered and/or freshened up.
Seeing them again reminded me why I started my shop in 1999. Perhaps the real magic of beautiful clothing is that it never really goes out of style and maybe one of these items has been waiting for you.....
Tattered Rose is open Wed to Sat 11 am - 3 pm (or by appointment)
