As a plus woman it is difficult to find boutiques/shops that have clothing in my size that are fashion forward and non-frumpy looking. Donnas had a great variety of vintage clothes with inclusive sizing. Loved the dugurees, the accessories, and the shoes! I was also told you can sell vintage fashion here!

What a gem!! This place had some amazing vintage as well as reproduction pieces. The staff was so helpful and made me feel special from the moment I stepped into the store. Best customer service and great inventory. Will definitely be back.

We wanted to find a dress here SO bad! We were in town for vacation and waited anxiously for it to open. They helped my daughter look for a special event dress and when we couldn't find one that fit, they sent us to retro vixen down the block. The customer service here was outstanding. The selection amazing - we just couldn't find the one. I appreciated the referral and their kindness.

I'm throwing a vintage summer bash just so I can justify purchasing another one of their dresses. Donna's has the legit vintage and than the newly made vintage inspired styles to boot. Scarves, glasses, jewelry, shoes Donna has it all. A cute red and white polka dot, sweet heart neckline vintage cut dress could set you back $90. I know, I know it's a lot, but hear me out these are handmade and quality. I still have one from when they first opened and worn it to all kinds of events. These dresses are one of a kind, I also got a red winter vintage coat here for $60 and it is stunning.The window displays are works of art, so much thought and time goes into them. They change often and I usually want to own everything I see. Donna and staff are really sweet and you can tell they really love what they do. Atmosphere is fun lots to look and fall in love with.Lots of the stuff is locally made, got my sister a gift card and she said I finally got her something she could use. Need lindy hop/swing shoes or attire, got it.

Warning: this store cares way more about profits than customers. This is the most overpriced vintage clothing store I've ever been too. The staff come off cold and fake, and tried to convince me to buy items that were clearly too small for me. All of this coupled with their no return policy gave me bad vibes. I won't be going back. There are other vintage stores in KC, with fairer prices and nicer owners, that are way more deserving of business.

I was walking around 39th Street the other day with every intention of *just browsing* in Donna's Dress Shop and coming back this weekend to take advantage of that killer 20 percent off sale going on. I noticed a lot more vintage going on in there, which of course, I do adore beaucoup! Sure enough, I found her almost immediately, only she was a real vintage model, a 1950s plaid shirtwaist, and therefore there was only one of her. I knew if I tried her on, and she worked for me, there was no way I'd be putting her back on the rack and chance someone else snatching her up.SIGH!!!And I knew she was going to fit perfectly because 1950s dresses are all but tailor made for my physique. I hesitated. She was in perfect condition...and only 38 smackers. A great deal for a pristine vintage lady.Oh, who was I kidding? I grabbed her, tried her on and yes, she fit like a glove. There was no way I could say no to her. She needed a belt though, and the lovely glamorous chica who worked there happily assisted in finding me just the right belt. I'll probably be going back this weekend to see some of her friends that I was admiring, too, by the way.

I love Donna's, it's such a happy experience just being there. The staff is friendly and seem to genuinely love their job. All the shoppers seem to enjoy their time there, no angry customer. Definitely good vibes!Must remember to get a number as soon as you walk in since the dressing room line can get crazy long. If they notice you don't have a number, the staff happily offers one to you. They offer great variety of vintage and some new clothing items and accessories. It's such a chic boutique, and for an vintage shop I'm surprised by how often they rotate their collection based on themes or seasons. Their prizes are reasonable and quality of the garments are great, you can see these girls care for those clothes. I've gone to vintage shops where they have the same items and never rotate their stock. I want to keep coming back to Donnas to find new items and surprises.

Cotton and frilly satin. Tulle and gauze, silk and sequins! No longer will my mouth utter, "I can't find any cute dresses in Kansas City." Besides that, I work from home in sweats and a t-shirt.Lilian O decided we'd go to Donna's Dress Shop after the Yelp Event. I walked into a spring time all in and of itself. My fingers went over each little pretty, and I had to stifle myself, cause I'm paid the next Friday...(so then I don't have to abstain). I'm counting the days to touch more of the springy dresses.I tried on one grey checked dress, that was so cute, but there's others that were also cute. (Saying that, incase it's not there next time) The grey dress fit me very well, infact, it was my ideal dress. I don't usually wear dresses, cause I can't find cute dresses, that fit and look good. I can't stand panty hose, but I was told I didn't need to wear them (cause I won't ever) so I have always had issues with dresses, but not any more.The grey checked dress had a full back, full front, a zipper, and the cutest tulip shaped skirt I've ever seen. That wasn't the only dress I saw I liked, there was a yellow one, and an orange one and a pink one and a red one, a green one... and several vintage dresses. The vintages dresses have the story behind where they obtained the garment on a tag. For the price, the dresses aren't overly priced. (I'm used to Macy's, which doesn't have much of anything. The prices are comparable. ) Donna's Dress Shop makes me glad I'm female! Thank goodness this store isn't any closer to me.

I love this store.I love the jewelry.I love the shoes. I love the friendly staff.I love the clothes both vintage and retro.I even quite like the prices.I have not yet found the right item in my size, but I won't give up.Donna's carries some plus sized, so hooray. I'd love to see more larger sizes though. Until then, I'll keep visiting and searching.The hunt is half the fun!

Since I've moved to this area, I've admired literally EVERYTHING that I saw in your window. I unfortunately can't swing financially, any of your beautiful clothes for the moment. But as soon as I can afford it, I'm coming to support you! I can't wait till then!
