Long Time No See...



Since moving over to this new blog, we haven't posted nearly as much as we used to.  Several reasons for that, but mostly just too busy with the store and designing.

Today, I was inspired to write about something from my dreams. It was about a Tattered Rose kind of shop but it was in the 1930s'. I wanted to stay there a while longer, but cats were meowing for their breakfast (in real life)

I remember a few things I saw in that dream. One was a grey rayon & lace blouse that was to die for. Another was this beautiful huge rectangular ring a woman was trying on...very similar to the ones we just got in at Tattered Rose.

I am personally very drawn to the 1920's and 1930's eras. The clothing was so beautiful and much of it could be worn today, with a few tweaks here and there. 

For now, I will leave you with a few images of inspiration....remember, life goes by in a flash.  Why not wear beautiful, romantic clothing and jewellery as often as you can?

That's my motto and one I bring to everything Tattered Rose has to offer.

Urban Romantic

URBAN ROMANTIC....that's Tattered Rose. Bygone eras are subtly infused into every garment we design or purchase for the shop in a modern, urban, romantic and wearable today sort of way.
 NOTE: This is not a picture from our shop but used to evoke the spirit of URBAN ROMANTICISM  at Tattered Rose

Maxi Dresses & Toques

What's more Canadian than wearing a toque with your fancy dress?
This is not a trick question.
Tattered Rose has lots of beautiful clothing including maxi dresses.
If you want to wear a toque and combat boots with your long dress, that's your decision. We think you will look great with or without (the toque)


A silly but important message brought to you by the folks at Tattered Rose

Temporary New Store Hours

"I won't be wearing shoes like these any time soon"

Tattered Rose and the owner of Tattered Rose (me) are one in the same and one of us is having some foot problems (me).
Therefore, until further notice, we are reducing our store hours slightly:
As of October 23 (today) we will be open:
Wed-Sat 11-3.

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.
Yours truly.

éclectique.....eclectic.....eclettico

Tattered Rose....an eclectic, probably one of the most eclectic (in the most beautiful ways) boutique you will ever walk into.

This dress would be perfect for an Art Show....a second or third wedding.....GRAD (of course) In person, it is even more lovely and vibrant.

One of our new collection of special dresses and gowns. Vintage-inspired. Gorgeous.

New Arrivals: Artisan Jewellery at Tattered Rose

Nouveau Victorian from Tattered Rose 
Artisan jewellery to make a statement.
 

Side note: I was taking these photos outside my store, placing the jewellery hand in a giant concrete flower urn, when a guy walking by with his dog yelled out "did you bury someone in there?"
I wondered what the heck he was talking about and then I stepped back...it DID look like someone's hand was reaching out from the soil...ha ha.
