This shop concentrates on carefully preserved dresses from the 1920s and 1930s but also has a range of clothing and textiles from the 1880s through the 1960s. A 1920s fully beaded dress will run you about £335 ($670), but there are scarves for £21 ($42), camisoles for £30 ($60), and a range of exceptional pieces priced between £50 to £70 ($100-$140). Clothing is located on the main floor; textiles, including old lace, bed linens, and tapestries, are upstairs.
