Wear It Again Sam

A cute place with a few interesting finds. Its pricing is a little steep for a consignment shop. I don’t expect Goodwill prices, but simply because something has fallen out of vogue doesn’t necessarily mean it’s rare, and the pricing on a lot of items here seem a bit optimistic on the consigner’s part.

The prices are reasonable but the shopkeeper is very rude. She accused my friend and of «playing dress-​up» when we had stated we were looking for graduation dresses. I am plus sized, my friend is quite thin, and when I came to the counter with a dress she looked at me and said, «Oh… YOU found something?!» If you are simply window shopping, DO NOT GO HERE. Come here ONLY if you have EXACTLY what you need in mind, and then get out!

Fort Collins is not known for vintage stores. Flea markets, yes but not really when it comes to vintage. Usually Fort Collins shoppers want new things… suburban things.
WIAS is probably the best vintage store in Fort Collins because of this. There are quite a few other vintage boutiques in town but none of them quite have the verve and panache as this place.
Probably the coolest part about going in here is the hats. Wonderful veiled hats and fedoras!
WIAS is a consignment store too. I have taken clothes here in the past. Unfortunately they never sold so they got donated. It always baffles me on the decisions that the staff makes at consignment stores. You think the items that you know they will take get rejected and then don’t sell on the items they do take. Whatever. It is something I probably will never understand. Making a career and lots of money by using consignment stores said no one ever.

I was in famous Historic Downtown in Fort Collins and came across this fabulous, cute, little, vintage consignment /​costume rental store. I immediately fell back in time and wanted to dress like a 1920s flapper! The different sections of styles from the early 1900s to 1980s really took me back. The pieces the owner finds are remarkable. Yes, everything is used, but remember its what fashion was IN from the past, can be easily be IN now. I found fabulous day to day dresses, retro gowns, hippy maxi dresses, jazz style cocktail dresses, I found evening wear that would bring 1930s elegance to 2012! It was unbelievable how the accessories were adorned on the walls and shelves. I tried the hats on and definitely turned time and spoke with elegance and sophistication! In all, I ended up buying a fashionable 1940s evening gown and 1960s maxi dress, spent $ 85 for both. Though clothing ranges from $ 10-​$ 60 depending on quality. The store is affordable! They also have costume rentals, for those vintage parties or roaring 20s nights!

Fashion, Vintage, Antique lovers, plan to stay for a while. This store wins for both collection and charm. The accessory selections are amazing. The owner has the knack for the unique and the spectacular. You will find prices from Mrs. Cleaver to Ginger Rogers, and it is designer clothing at it’s best. They appear to have a fine men’s selection as well.
You will not find a place like this anywhere in town. If there is a «Disney World» of vintage clothing, I would imagine that this is the «Disney Land».
AWESOME.

Stumbled across this really cool vintage store while walking around old Fort Collins. Tons of mens and womens hats and other clothing. Most of it is for sale but there is also a significant amount of costumes for rentals. The owner was super nice and professional. If you’re looking for vintage clothing and you are in the area you should definitely pay the store a visit.
