Corsets are so romantic, giving the wearer an exaggerated feminine shape.
Tattered Rose sells beautiful silk brocade, silk dupioni and cotton
steel-boned corsets...but not like this Victorian one that was never
meant to be seen outside of the boudoir and was worn much too tightly.
I don't know about you, but I like being able to breathe without fainting♥
Technically, it never really went away, that is the eclectic collection of beautifully romantic dresses, coats, skirts, tops and corsets that are perfect for the garden, beach, small-venue type of weddings.
It's just that the owner and in-house designer of some of these outfits (me) took a brief hiatus from "being in the wedding business" for one reason or another.
We still are not a wedding shop, as such....we do not have racks upon racks of mass produced wedding apparel; however, for those romantic brides-to-be who are searching for something different.........a vintage-inspired, hand-made, hand dyed wedding dress and/or outfit........Tattered Rose has a small & lovely collection of wedding apparel.
Romance awaits!
Our
shop in Edmonton carries one of the most eclectic mixes of women's
clothing, jewellery, accessories & home decor you have ever seen in
one place!
From
Victorian to Gothic....Steampunk to vintage....original designs &
handmade....office soft dressing (Sympli the Best) to casual (Cut Loose)
and so much more that cannot be described in a few sentences.
And
while the owner/in-house designer is a little bit eccentric &
goofy, she has a heart of gold and really wants to make each customer
feel wonderful in what they buy to wear. I can say that about myself
because I know my thoughts.
Please join us in welcoming July, as we begin to see the early arrival of pre-Fall (sorry) goods.

Enjoy your day as you wish...with loved ones and kitty cats (who are also loved ones)
Tattered Rose is closed for Canada Day but we are back to our regular hours on Thursday (11-4)

Today's a different day (from yesterday), all gloomy, overcast and damp...a very Gothic day.
I
just look at this as "permission" to wear my black clothing and not look
totally weird. Wearing black in summer is not always understood by
people who prefer colourful and light clothing during the summer.
Luckily, for those of us who love wearing dark colours, like black and
grey and darker black and charcoal....a day like this is perfect♥
Tattered Rose has some of the softest & prettiest shades of pink
clothing around......just waiting for you to remember how feminine the
colour PINK is.....but not in a girly, candy pink sort of way nor
implying any lack of strength.
It's just a pretty colour to wear and
incorporate into your existing wardrobe. Think of the combinations:
pink & denim (jeans)...pink & brown....pink & grey....pink
& black....pink & cream....pink & white....pink & taupe....pink &
red....pink & blue. It really IS so versatile & lovely ♥
In my life, heart & soul, the grunge look of the early 90's has
never been far away. I was dressing that way long before I ever heard
the word "grunge" and I have been in love with the idea of it ever
since.
You don't have to be head-to-toe grunge....a little goes a
long way: such as a pair of combat boots worn with a maxi dress &
sweater coat.....or a plaid shirt worn a lace scarf and your fav pair of
tattered jeans.
Grunge lives at Tattered Rose for those who see the possibilities♥
