Vintage in Vogue

Amazing boutique. Too bad I wear a size ⁸⁄₁₀ because it’s always so hard to find anything; It’s really more for people who wear smaller sizes. I have purchased some accessories and two dresses; I always receive compliments when I wear them.
The owner is great, the staff is friendly, I ALWAYS stop by when I’m on the Cape to both locations!

By far the best vintage place you will find on the Cape. Maureen is strict about what she considers vintage so you won’t find things from old navy mixed in here like you do at other places. The prices are really reasonable for the pieces and the quality is usually amazing. Maureen has the store laid out with things divided by length and age. She also is well aware that not everyone is rail thin so she maintains a larger sizes section of clothing. In the vintage bridal side of the shop Maureen also makes sure any bride of any size can find a dress, so she does keep more modern dresses in stock but she selects them based on if they have a vintage flare to them. The shop in Orleans has a men’s section and the new store in Provincetown does too. Maureen also provides alteration services which is wonderful because I can really trust her to know how to handle older fabrics and such. I really can’t say enough good things about this shop!

Maureen, the owner of this gem, has cultivated an amazing collection, I popped in to browse this week and ended up buying my wedding dress from her Bridal store. An entire store, next door to her regular vintage store, of the most unique dresses I’ve ever seen. Packed to the gills with every style imaginable from the wildly unique to the traditional «big white dress». It isn’t strictly «vintage» there are many contemporary dresses to choose from as well. I scheduled an appointment for the next evening for my mom and me to do some dress shopping. We were greeted warmly and allowed to pull any dress we wanted. Maureen was kind yet realistic about my dream of finding a 50s style dress that would fit my size 12 frame, not impossible, but it would require a good deal of work. After 4 or 5 dresses, I found a gorgeous early 2000s dress by Aurora D’Paradiso. The tag was still on it and I paid less that if I had gone to a bridal chain and found a similar dress. Maureen works with her brides to make gorgeous, unique creations. From the skeleton of the most frothy 80s wedding dress, she can create an elegant, unique modern wedding dress. She takes such pride in her store and her work. She made dress shopping fun and intimate and I could tell she was listening to me and my mother. I only wish I could do this again, it was so much fun!

Absolutely amazing. A must visit — great finds and lots of them. Such a great store. Be expected to pay a little more than most thrift stores — but the items are truly vintage and very high quality. Fabulous!

A relatively undiscovered gem
Back off the street in downtown Orleans, this vintage shop is crammed to the gills with great clothes from all eras, 20s, 30s, 50s, 60s, 70s, you name it.
Predominately women’s designer clothes, the prices are reasonable and the styles fantastic. I went in with four teenage girls, mostly tall and model thin and just about everything they threw on looked tailored for them.
Being a guy, and far from expert on women’s clothes, I’d say plus size folks would have difficulty finding things that fit. Our parents and grandparents generations were much thinner than we are nowadays.
Although we didn’t get a chance to see it, the same owner has a vintage bridal store right next door. Reportedly it stocks everything from dresses to veils, shoes, the whole kit.
