Didn't find most of them fruitful but this shop beat my expectations and more! Great selection, fair pricing, nicely curated and great staff that was knowledgeable and friendly!

I posted about this on my instagram publicly to warn people and dozens of women responded saying they had the same experience, and that the old woman that runs the place is extremely judgemental, old fashioned, and insists she knows your body better than you and that you won't fit the things you want unless you were smaller. Will not ever be returning, and will always warn women against this place.

I told the owner, and she called me a liar! She was incredibly rude and no class whatsoever--they tried to pull a fast one on me and I had no choice. The owner's employee in the beginning said there was no description or label of the dress other than it was black and a size small, but the owner pushed the dress on me and said it was French Connection--now who's the real liar here?! If you're going to be a steward of other people's belongings than have RESPECT!

I love everything about this cute boutique in Logan square. I went in looking for a birthday outfit…read moreand found a classic black velvet dress that I'm excited to dress up! They have a great selection of vintage pieces with a variety of sizes and styles. Racks are organized by eras, styles, and colors. The price points are reasonable for vintage clothing. Employees were friendly, helpful, and attentive. They're knowledgeable about the pieces, fashion, as well as ways to alter pieces to make them yours. Highly recommended!

Disclaimer: curated vintage shops are not going to be to everyone's tastes. The selection is…read morepurposefully curated, and it may be a style that isn't yours, which isn't a bad thing! I would say, for me, Lost Girls' style has SOME overlap with what I like to wear, so there were a few items that caught my eye and will have me coming back a few times a year. PLUS: size diversity, clean store, roomy changing rooms, well organized MINUS(?): I noticed a significant portion of the clothing was polyester or acrylic. I'm personally trying to avoid synthetic fibers and it felt like Lost Girls had more synthetic fibers than other vintage shops. Additionally, a lot of clothing items were missing their care instructions and/or the tags with fabric breakdown. Now, in the world of secondhand/vintage clothing, you'll come across this. At some point in some time, a previous owner removed them. However, just like with the synthetics, it FELT like there were more items missing this than I typically see in a shop. All in all, shopping here is an undeniably lovely experience. I recommend you stopping by, seeing if this is your style and trying on some things!

I couldn't believe it! I really enjoyed perusing, but a lot of the pieces I liked either had some damage to them, or were pricier than comparable pieces I've seen at other stores or resale outlets. I left here empty handed on my first visit, but I definitely think it's worth taking a look!

While I was there, the owner Rose demonstrated an antique phonograph that used wax cylinders. My group had 3 people with different interests, and she shared insights about every item we asked about. Rose's enthusiasm and kindness were a highlight of my visit to Chicago. I recommend this store to anyone. It's well worth the visit.

The walls are lined with glass cases full of jewelry, but then there's a rolling rack parked in front of the cases:( That said, they have amazing jewelry from all time periods- gold, silver, expensive, cheap, all the gemstones!

Well, the name says it all: this store is fabulous, and the eponymous Richard will be your style…read moreguru, knowing at a glance what size you'll need, telling you authoritatively to wear braces rather than a belt with that suit, turning up the sleeves on this shirt for you, and generally steering you through the seas of fantastic vintage finds in his store. My fiance came looking for maybe a tie or pocket square to match my dark purple wedding dress, but also wanted to check out the Oxfords and suits. He ended up leaving with a perfect vintage suit that will only need minimal tailoring, a pocket square, a tie, as well as a casual shirt, all for less than the cost of renting a suit somewhere. Plus, gotta love supporting a shop like this -- in business 11 years and clearly going strong; there were 5 or 6 people shopping in there at the same time! And Richard was hopping from one to the next effortlessly. In addition to clothes, there are other vintage finds such as paintings/photos, cocktail accoutrements, and matchbooks. Richard himself works most days but said Sundays he has an assistant so that he can check out estate sales himself. He obviously takes pride in finding wonderful and unique pieces for his shop, and said that everything gets dry cleaned before selling (so it doesn't have the musty smell of some vintage shops). My fiance appreciated the thoughtful layout of the shop. It is obvious that we will be back to check out more fabulous finds!

I am interested in purchasing all of the items that are currently on display because I adore everything there. However, since I have to keep my spending under control, I will only purchase two clothes for myself and a watch for him. The interior of the location itself is lovely and very well appointed. The staff is kind and really helpful in meeting our needs. Their range also includes wonderful designs, and my favorites are the items that manage to be both understated and elegant. They carry a variety of fascinating items, including handbags, watches, pouches, jewelry, and more. But I will purchase those products the next time I go shopping. The pricing is not only just but also sensible. Therefore, going shopping in this area is definitely something you won't regret doing. Very highly recommended.
