Tagline on their business card: "a body is a terrible thing to waste." Bettie Page, the iconic American model fit this tagline to a tee and then some.
If you fancy the pinup styles of her era which I do, you will love this store. Some of the gals that work here are actually pinup models to boot from what I was told. The store itself is adorable:

Initially, I just wanted to browse but came across some of the most gorgeous dresses. I couldn't resist trying one on. Sizing runs freakishly small (think wedding gown sizing) but these dresses fit like an absolute dream! They especially flatter the slightly more curvaceous gal in all the right places, thanks to the amazing Bengaline fabric and cut. Big plus! So even though the dress I ended up getting was a bit pricey it was well worth it because of it's fabulous fit. It was like it was custom-made just for me. Btw, I ended up buying "The Secretary Pencil". It's my new favorite dress!

The dressing rooms are huge and roomy with vintage artwork on the walls. Inside are retro looking chairs, a full size mirror and high heeled shoes that you can try on with your dress of choice. If need be, they offer same day alterations. I wouldn't have even thought about it if I didn't see this cute signage in the fitting room:

I needed to take up the hem a few inches and it was altered in about 30 minutes and cost me only $10. Yaaaay! :)
One more thing: there's a cool sales room hidden in the back so be sure to check it out if you stop by.
