Review from Lauren N.
3/20/2010
It's funny how I never noticed this place before, because it's a pretty neat little boutique. Very original and very different! It's got women's clothing and accessories, but everything is in a dark, edgy Victorian style. And I mean everything. Although I wouldn't personally wear anything from here, they've got a lot of unique pieces if you love all things vintage and Victorian.
The shop is divided into two halves, one side displaying ivory and lighter clothing, while the other has darker, more gothic Victorian clothes. Lots of lace, which makes everything very feminine. They've also got tons of unique jewelry pieces towards the back of the store. Pretty stuff, but a little too much on the showy side for me.There are also Victorian-style corsets and lingerie in the back, along with lots of handbags and home decor items.
The store itself is impeccably decorated from floor to ceiling ,and I found myself in awe of the interior design even more than the clothes themselves. It makes you feel as if you've stepped into a dark and abandoned secret garden!
So this place is definitely worth checking out, even if you're not planning on getting anything, because it's interesting to say the least. But if you do have an eclectic and vintage style, or plan on dressing up as a dark angel for Halloween, this place is good for that!Comment from Carol S. of Tattered Rose 6/2/2010

I just love the name of this eclectic boutique. It's got such a rogue romantic feel. Driving by this shop, I'm often drawn in by the window displays, which are ever-changing and filled with beautiful dresses that layer, cinch, billow and pool, like turn-of-the-century clothing with a Lady-of-the-night or cabaret edge. Unfortunately, when I stop by the shop it's often closed. Hours are a bit shorter than regular business hours: Wednesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and they're closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. But if you have a chance to visit and browse, you'll be mesmerized by the many racks of beautiful fabrics: lace, chiffon, velvet, linen, silk, taffeta and more. I love the accessories, like the oodles of bead strands and broach renditions of the classic cameo pin. The merchandise, some of which is one-of-a-kind handmade, is not inexpensive, but you'll have an original piece for your wardrobe.
Specialties
We specialize in urban-romantic clothing, jewellery & accessories for the modern woman who loves the look of vintage but does not want to wear a costume.
Yes, we have lots of ruffles, velvet and lace but there is so much more to discover in our gorgeous shop.....the displays alone will inspire you to dress like you feel inside...an edgy, romantic, gypsy woman. Think Stevie Nicks but not so much rocker chic as really cool, uniquely beautiful clothing that is destined to become your signature.
It is always interesting to hear how the store is perceived. At first glance, it can be a little over-the-top glam vintage but when you take the time to really look and try on our clothing, you will be amazed at how wearable and modern it really is. Who says you can't mix it up by wearing a romantic, ruffled pirate shirt with your fav pair of jeans and a cool wide belt?
For the business woman/traveller we have a luxurious but affordable line of jersey clothing that will make you feel fabulous!
History
Established in 1999
A culmination of years of clothing design and working in fashion retail I began by opening a western store, but it was not like any western store anyone had ever seen! I carried romantic, vintage-inspired women's clothing that needed to have it's own setting, so several years later, Tattered Rose was born.
I wanted to wear uniquely beautiful, vintage-inspired clothing but I could not find it anywhere. With my clothing design background and having sewn my own clothes since I was 10, Tattered Rose was a way of sharing with other women with similar style, my taste for ruffled finery.
I love ruffles and lace, and vintage glam clothing, whether "in style" or not. For me, it is not about what is trendy...this is a lifestyle boutique.
You either are a Tattered Rose woman or you are not...simple as that.

I simply love beautiful clothing...the beautiful, exotic things you see on the runway or in fashion magazines....the stuff that dreams are made. I am here to help other women to dress in beautiful, romantic clothing and to change the perception we have of ourselves...one person at a time!
I am hoping to enable women to wear the clothing that makes them feel wonderful and feminine, even if it means simply wearing a romantic top or jacket with your jeans.
