Hidden up two flights of stairs on a side street near L1 is The Dressing Room. My expectation was…read morethat this vintage designer boutique would be way out of my price range and rather elitest. How wrong I was! It's a gorgeous set-up with chandeliers and fabric draped across the ceiling with luxurious silky curtains. It reminded me of a princess's dressing room (and boy does she have good taste!) No two items are the same and they choose only the finest quality vintage outfits, none of that run of the mill 'I'll have to sew that here, and take that up there' nonsense. They not only sell vintage but also designer and upcoming labels which are all mixed together on the rails, hanging lovingly side by side could be a stunning designer dress and a 1920s vintage piece. The price ranges are as varied as the styles with dresses ranging from £20 to around £500 so everyone has the opportunity to buy their little piece of unique clothing! The accessories were amazing, they had headbands, brooches, rings, earrings... all sorts of little gems that would be great as gifts or as a personal treat, now these were the real bargains, all carefully handpicked and oh so cheap. Forget the common Topshop dresses and the outfit clashes and purchase some top quality threads from a boutique that will make you feel like royalty. They had some beautiful prom dress style formal wear, I just need an occasion and I'll be back with my credit card quicker than you can say Gok Wan.

Even in the window is a sign just to inform the casual passer by of payment plans which are available. I don't know about you, but I don't plan on taking out a mortgage for a dress anytime soon! However, this boutique exudes elegance, celebrity chic and high fashion. Even the mannequins glitter with silver mirrors, enticing custom into the shop. When I have been by, it has always seemed empty but if only one customer bought a dress per day, I think they'd make their rent! A shopping experience for the rich, the VIP and the wannabe wealthy. Beauty (fashion at least) comes at a price!
