Dolly Python

Found a psychic here today. She was busy playing candy crush so I’m not quite sure how accurate her predictions may be at the moment.
Anyhoo you are greeted by western boots galore upon entering as well as costume clothing, gaudy jewelry, and freaky as fu** dolls. They offer interesting home décor including 1940’s era tidy whiteys, penis mugs, and the sort.
Dolly Phython really is pretty neat though. We found some legit art work for our apartment and wanted to buy some chairs but alas, it proved to be too expensive for a thrift store budget.
Definitely check them out. It’s a can’t miss spot for thrifting in Dallas.

Incredibly rude. Just called to ask the process of how they buy clothing. The lady told me it had to be vintage so I then ask of other places in the area she would recommend seeing as my inventory is less than 30 years old… Her response «google​.com» and hung up on me. Referrals and word of mouth are usually great ways to get business… or lose it.

Tons of cool finds here. They had a bunch of cool old vinyl like first issue Led Zepplin. They had Beatles but think it was reprint. Cool clothes and a bunch of used boots. Lots of cool nick-​nacks. Great place to find an unusual present or something cool for the abode.

What a great assortment of antiques, weird stuff, contemporary unusual stuff, vintage clothing… and a couple of dogs who act like they’ve seen it all more than once! We were on the prowl for cuff links and found some unusual ones. Folks were friendly and willing to negotiate. Also had a nice chat with the Tarot card reader person who is there on weekends. Didn’t get read, but she has decades of experience if you’re into that kind of thing. Never a dull moment in this place. Very eclectic and original. This is our second trip to the store… and we’ll be back!

I’ve had this place bookmarked for years. I don’t get the chance to traipsy through Dallas much but swung by during a weekend break.
The stuff here is cool, but don’t think Goodwill pricing. A veritable hipster’s delight: Tons of vintage dresses to the right as you enter, mostly in the $ 40-​something range. True to Texas style, they have many cowgirl boots to the left. They also have a lot of random stuff; everything from original «I love Pac Man» bumper stickers to #deadthingsinjars (follow ‘em on Instagram if you must). BUT! The highlight for me was the David Bowie LPs. Promos, first editions, etc…
Definitely need plastic next time I visit.

One of the worst vintage shopping experiences of my life! I am a collector, for personal wear, out of Northern CA. I try to get to shops when ever on the road. I walked into a huge selection and the lady told me it was set up by sleve length, all mixed decades, but here were her «good» vintage pieces. I started to browse. No measurements the sizing was arbitrarily S, M, L none of which held any bearing on true sizes. I picked a few pieces from the «good» vintage and some others. Nothing fit. (I’m usually good at eyeballing and since traveling I wasn’t carrying a tape measure) I’m a normal size 12 – 14 vintage sizing.
But that wasn’t the problem, of course you’re never garunteed to find a fit. The problem was, NOTHING was clean, NOTHING was repaired, and the prices for these nasty garments which would need dry cleaning, oxyclean soaks, new hems, replaced buttons, repaired seams were slightly under what in would pay in San Francisco! Dresses for $ 100 which I would need to put money and work into in a store where, when I left, I locked my doors and feared for my life. To say this was NOT a high rent district is putting it mildly. While I was trying on my pieces, I was getting a sore throat and a noxious haze of mothballs adhering to my mouth, nose the throat. I was thoroughly disgusted. When my friends shop on haight Ashbury — a very high rent district– can charge $ 125-​$ 150 for carefully curated, cleaned and repaired garments, Dolly Python either needs to take some care in its clothing: size it, clean it, act like it matters, or lower the prices 50%. Obviously, they think the vintage buyers in Dallas are stinking hipsters who blow wads on anything with cache, not so and I will tell anyone I know traveling to Dallas to avoid this shop unless they bring a gas mask and want to feel gipped.

Love the atmosphere and people. The men’s clothing section is really lacking, but all the home goods are pretty cool. It’s quite overpriced but there’s definitely some good finds here.

If I could give a thrifting store 12 stars this would be the one. Such a unique treasure box! And a tip… for yourself, or your other half. There is a wonderful Goodwill Computer store right next door. Any self respecting nerd nerd will love to shop at. That is if they don’t like the cool things at Dolly Python.

HANDS DOWN the best store in North Texas. Artfully displayed, meticulously selected antiques, oddities, décor and vintage clothing alongside a small selection of handmade items from local artisans. Multiple hard working vendors traveling the far corners of Texas just for you :).

I literally just paid 105 dollars in there. Got home tried on a bustier top that didn’t fit so I called to explain it was my first time shopping there. Unfortunately I didn’t know the return policy. I did not want my money back just to exchange and the rude girl on the phone said sorry there’s sins all over the store so you have to make it work and hung up the pone in my face. I called back to ask did she really just hang up I my face mid sentence and she didn’t answer. Wow I would never recommend anyone to shop here. Over priced bs anyway. Never experienced such blatant disrespect from a store before. Wow smfh.

Gem
What a great spot to search for little treasures.
I went in here looking for an 80’s dress to wear to an event (be glad you didn’t see me in it… not something you can un-​see :-O)
The woman who helped me was SOOO great. There is of course the matter of a dude looking for a dress that will fit, and not being a guy who wears a dress but every 20 years or so, she was still super friendly and casual about the whole affair. She made great reccomendations, found me the perfectly tacky’appropraite dress, and then helped me accesorize. I was ready to work a room!!!
Actually, a very good collection of period clothing, jewelry, kitsch, etc. Quality stuff too, and very affordable.
There’s a selection of antique-​y furniture nik naks and an impressive collection of old vinyl.
I came SO close to buying the pristine copy of Bowie’s Alladin Sane while I was there… just because.
Check them out!
Cheers!

Resent fun run around weekend with my girlfriend and I stumbled soon this gem. Walk in and boots all around the entry welcome to Texas! Friendly greetings and helpful people every step of the way! Such a large beautiful eclectic grouping of items from about every decade from early 1900’s to current. Every item was taking me back to my childhood digging in my grandparents stuff! Jewelry, clothing of all sorts retro every where! The type of place you smile the whole time and get overwhelmed by the sure volume! Art, toys, glass wear, war era pieces. Ton of vinyl records that will bring you right round baby! Look forward to my next visit! Great location and large sign on building you can’t miss it!

I had a great experience at Dolly Python mainly wandering around and seeing what brought up memories. They have a ton of vintage clothing-​fabulous coats, hats, shoes, tons of cowboy boots, sunglasses, etc. They also have a lot of jewelry.
I loved the chocolate lab who sat in the store so calmly, and the classic music that played overhead. We were immediately asked if we needed help, and I saw a lot of things that would make good home accents.
If you have some time to kill, this is a good spot because you never know what you will find.
There is parking along the side of the building, and a lot directly across the street.

One of my friends from college loves all things vintage and so do I! This place screams eclectic and fun from their selection of vintage cowboy boots, retro t-​shirts and fun finds on nearly every shelf. The only bummer is that this store is more of a boutique, so the items are priced accordingly.
I found a nice velvet pullover that has navy and red stripes and a collar! It was around 35 dollars which was steep since my friend and I were going a thrifting adventure but I’m obsessed with it.
Overall great vibe and I will definitely be back to check out their new inventory! The dresses and clothes were by far the most fun to try on!

After selling antiques for a living in Chicago, it was interesting to move to the Dallas area and take stock of the thrift/​vintage scene. One of my first destinations was Dolly Python, after I decided to buy some vintage textiles for a friend of mine for Christmas.
The store is laid out like a small but standard antique mall, with individual sellers having an allocated space in which to display their wares. Although this shop is not the size of a more full-​scale mall, it does have a good variety of sellers who each have a different style, motif, and specialty.
Each of the individual spaces is well-​stocked with a personal attention to detail and quality that you might not find at other places like this. Also, I should point out that this store is different from a standard thrift or vintage store. It has a more boutique vibe, and is priced accordingly. If you’re looking for a more thrifty experience, there are likely better options to meet your needs.
The shop itself has a wonderful variety of pieces for sale, and I found just the right textiles for my friend. I’ll come back to play with the two wonderful dogs and chat with the staff, who showed a great interesting in my tarot card collection. They were friendly and talkative after I explained what I was looking for. I think some other reviewers might mistake a natural reticence for disinterest, and that is far from the case.
Overall, this is a great shop if you’re looking for a more upscale, boutique antique experience. I will definitely be back for a browse soon.

Its a super fun and amazing store, but it truly is overpriced for some items. If you want to kill some time and hang around this area I do recommend going here and looking around. They have very weird and strange stuff that makes you wonder what they were thinking when they put those things up in the store (they have single blade razors in one of their areas that look used and rusted… I mean if you’re into that then good for you…). The dogs were awesome and friendly, but the staff kind of ignored me when I went (not that I really cared because I much rather not talk to anyone while I am there), but the bird… yeah the bird was kind of scary but he doesn’t attack or anything he just makes loud noises and does bird stuff.
I will be coming back just to look around and see if there is anything that I like next time that is worth how much they are charging for it.

This review is just based of their LP collection. Staff was very nice, there were two dogs roaming loose in the store, thought that was very cool. There were lots of collectibles that I’m sure are very nice, but I was just there for music.
They had a large LP section, quite a bit of punk and classic rock. The only problems were the prices… they were in the stratosphere! I had to ask an employee if those were the prices or some sort of tracking code. I was in shock, thought Forever Young had high prices! If you are a lottery winner or just super rich, this store is for you! A beat up copy of Shout at The Devil LP from 1983 for $ 27? Good Luck with that…

The right side of the store has vintage (true vintage) clothes and it’s all priced accordingly. It’s not unreasonable since everything seems to be in great shape, but nothing is cheap, either. I didn’t have anything in mind while looking especially, but I think this would be a great place for costuming needs from the 1940s-​1970s or so, give or take. (Some 1920s here and there as well.) Huge cowboy boot selection. They were having a winter sweater/​coat sale at the time, which leads me to believe they make an effort to turn around the selection.
Lots of jewelry and definitely lots of hats of all kinds – this all occupies the middle of the store, and the entire left side, which is bigger, is a vast array of odds and ends, from floor to ceiling but mostly all well organized. I wanted to behave myself so I didn’t look at the vinyl collection, but it was very respectable in size! Overall, this side of the store was similar to Curiosities – tons of stuff to look at and seemingly well chosen, but all fairly pricey as well.
I didn’t speak to any of the staff but I did see them speaking with other customers and they all seemed very engaging and pleasant.
Good place to kill some time or pick up some eccentric finds, but the word «bargain» probably wouldn’t come to mind.

One of the best places for costume type clothes and cowboy boots. The store is not huge, but there are lots of items to look through. Saw some musical instruments that were pretty cool too. Tons of jewelry. Lots of hidden gems.
There was a palm reader there on Saturday. We overheard her telling one young lady some things, not real earth shattering. Then she asked if the girl had any questions and she said yes, and asked about health and weight issues. The palm reader told her to get outside, exercise and eat healthy.

The cuff links winked at me – no joke. They are blinking eyeball cuff links. What a find! Goes perfectly with the salmon colored ruffled tuxedo shirt and blue plaid polyester pants.
Also spotted some vintage EVERYTHING in the store. But I was most excited about the super vintage WWHS mini megaphones. I will be stopping back for that.
Got some clothes, got some jewelry, got some over-​stimulation of all the senses and got to play with some super chill doggies.
Love this place.
