THE NEW MODERN IS VINTAGE

About Me

Black Dahlia Vintage is a boutique at 514 E. Main St. in Visalia, California that specializes in designer and couture vintage clothing from the late 1800's through the mid 1970's. You won't find any frumpy dresses or doubleknit polyester here! Specialty items such as spectacular vintage gowns and accessories worn in Hollywood movies in the 30's to 50's straight from movie studio wardrobes, complete with certificates of authenticity. Come in and see a jaw dropping gown previously owned by Ella Fitzgerald by Don Loper of Beverly Hills, a fur stole owned by Norma Shearer, a tiered satin gown owned by Dolores Del Rio, a satin cocktail dress owned by Ava Gardner or handbags owned by Mae West and Susan Hayward. Explore our collection of fur coats, jackets and stoles at a fraction of their original price decades ago. Mix a unique vintage item in with your modern wardrobe and stand out in the crowd as a girl who has extraordinary style! You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
