Dollz & Dames

Cool store. You can find things in all prices ranges. Huge selection of hats, shoes and vintage style clothes, also some "costume" style clothes. The store is a little dark so the ambience is not so inviting but walk in anyways and you'll be happily surprised.

Dolls& Dames will take you back to the look and feel of the 1050's, but at 2050 ( yep, I wrote 2050) prices. First off, let me say I absolutely adore the store. They have two locations in the United States. One in Seattle Washington, and the other in New Orleans Louisiana. The store in New Orleans is slightly bigger, but they both carry pretty identical inventory. I've been in the store twice, and both times left with exactly the same feeling. The customer service is absolutely deplorable. I do not mind a quality snooty store, but I do mind a snooty store that overcharges just because of the location, and not because of the quality of merchandise they carry.I had my eyes on a pair of shoes, and went to take a picture, unlike many stores in the area apparently, pictures are not permitted. I get it. I really do. However, the way I was told was rather rude, and frankly unprofessional for sales environment. Regardless, I was interested enough in the pair of shoes that I still wanted to ask questions.At one point, apparently the shoes were custom ordered. They no longer are and haven't been for quite some time. The sales girl said something about the heels no longer being made and the inventory they had is what they had. She also said that they had more coming in. Totally confusing. The shoes are reasonably price for boutique items that allegedly are all handmade in Spain. Having said that, they are also more than what the average woman would probably feel comfortable spending on a pair of shoes that would not be worn on a regular basis. The shoes are approximately $250 plus. Again, unless you dress like you are in the 1950s on a daily basis, the price tag is rather high.I took a quick look around the store and they definitely have some very unique and interesting items. The four stars are for the items that they carry, and not for the service and treatment of customers. The sales people just made us feel rather uncomfortable, and I have a policy of not spending money in a place that does not make me happy. If you don't love it in the store, and you don't love the experience, you aren't going to love it anywhere else.

What an adorable little shop! I love all the vintage style dresses from rockabilly to classy fringe dresses. And let's talk about the cute cute shoes!! They have vintage-style wraps, jewelry, purses, parasols, tulle petticoats...and so much more! I only stopped in to see if by chance they had a nicer necklace that I originally brought with me from home. Spending NYE in NOLA was a little last minute.I walked out with not only a new necklace, but i ended up with matching earrings, bracelet, these adorable shoes and one of the girls suggested a head piece and I just got caught up in everything so shiny! I had to have it all!! LOL!!Great customer service and overall I had fun picking out my new shoes. If I have time I want to go back and try on some dresses and get a matching parasol!!

If I was to open a shop & create my dream closet, it couldn't be more perfect than this boutique. Hands down. Every shoe. Every hat. Every parasol. All the jewelry and accessories annnnd ALLLLL. THE. DRESSES!!! I had the most exceptional service from Erin, a fiercely fabulous redhead slung up in a swanky retro dress and hair of her own, with zero pressure. I'm a professional jazz vocalist specializing in Sinatra era swing. So, needless to say, I LIVED FOR THIS PLACE!!!If you're looking for ultra glam retro clothes in New Orleans or the gulf coast region of the United States, you have found your spot!!! A fully curated vintage/swing era diva Mecca!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

I wish negative stars was an option. They do not have the right to removing tags and putting theirs on the dresses. Below is a screenshot from one of the companies that I reached out to. Do not do business here!!

My absolute favorite clothing/accessory store in Seattle http://www.yelp.com/biz/diva-dollz-seattle#hrid:y7274nP98IktmyF1LUhg3w has now opened in New Orleans! I'm rather beside myself with excitement over this so you'll have to let me have a moment...*fans self* Recovered. After all, I have to get back to my FTR!Oh, the shoes.Oh, the super cute, flattering dresses.Oh, the lovely lingerie.Oh, the lush, baroque decor that makes you feel like you're shopping in Paris. Oh oh oh oh!!!! But there's more. Walk in clueless or even thinking you have an ounce of fashion know-how and these ladies will set you straight (in an ultra kind way). They will make you look hotter than you could have ever imagined. I witnessed them turning one Miss Emily A in a divalicious pin-up girl from H to T. She picked the dress. They did everything else: shoes, hair, a touch of blush to the cheeks. Seriously, you'd think you were at some ultra high end shop that would be kicking Pretty Woman out the door, but it's not the case. Figure on price points ranging around 120-150 bucks for a really pretty dress (they have casual to dressy). Accessories are at very affordable price points (I purchased gorgeous red gloves and a studded belt for a total of 60 bucks). Shoes are of good quality and will run you around 150 (note: they have the kind of heels that are so comfy you'd never know you were wearing heels). They will alter any dress to flatter your figure, ladies. That's kinda priceless, especially in a town where it's not the easiest thing in the world to find a good tailor. Just sayin'. I'll be updating this review on the regular. Look out for the attached lingerie shop that is going to open soon. I know I will be perusing it on the regular.

I'm a huge lover of pinup, rockabilly and vintage fashion. Tatyana/Bettie Page, Lindybop, Pinupgirlclothing, etc. galore! I was super excited to see this store on our way to Huck Finn's. Gotta say though, it was a bit of a disappointment. For one, the prices were outrageous! Almost all the clothing was 100+ dollars, and believe me, I am used to that because pinup clothing does not come cheap. However, some of these dresses they were selling were way overpriced. Jesus Christ, cheap Leg Avenue hosiery was double the price. $200 bucks for a pair of Mary Janes, are you serious?As well, the sale area wasn't truly a sale area. What's the point of a sale area if regular priced things are scattered in there too? One of the women working the floor said, "The sale is all scattered through out there." What really got me was a lot of the dresses I saw were eerily similar to other print/style dresses I've seen elsewhere. The one that really rubbed me the wrong way was that there was a wiggle dress with golden foil notes on black background. I knew I had seen it somewhere; I had seen it on Pinupgirlclothing marketed as the style "Downtown Dame" by the lovely Micheline Pitt (her brand Deadly Dames). I thought that perhaps they bought wholesale, but their logo was put inside the dress...let alone the same dress was marked at regular price as 228 bucks (80 bucks more than the original dress). Perhaps I'm watching too many X-Files, but it was a weird moment to see that. TL;DR Ladies, if you are looking for more bang for your buck, look elsewhere. You can probably buy 2-4 pinup dresses out there for the price of one Dollz and Dames dress.

I always have a fabulous experience here ! The 2 ladies are so kind and helpful! I love their unique shoes and dresses regardless of were they got them! Im all for paying for the Dollz and Dames name!! Everything you need to go back in time is in this boutique. The dresses are of quality material, the shoes are creative and show stopping. I always get compliments on all my attire bought from here! If your are deterred from a few negative reviews, don't be! You'll definitely fall in love with something in store and pay that pretty penny for it! this store isnt cheap, nothing in the store is cheaply made. If you Found it cheaper online after purchasing, That's your loss! At least you got to try everything on in store with the help staff! I once spent 2 hours in the store playing dress up with Erin. I absolutely adore this store. Will be back on our next trip! Worth every penny! Thanks so much Dollz! - Orlando FL people... we know real tourist traps lol

If you are looking for rockabilly and vintage inspired clothes and shoes, Dollz & Dames is the place! This adorable shop sells super cute 1950s style dresses in the most amazing patterns ever (cats, Star Wars, cherries and more). They also have a great selection of shoes in old timey styles. Best of all, they carry plus sizes! It's hard for curvy gals to find such fetching attire. This place is very pricey (expect to drop close to $200 on a pair of shoes and even more on apparel) but the stuff gives off a funky, one-of-a-kind vibe. Employees were friendly and helpful. I love this place!

BUYER BE WARNED THIS STORE HAS EXTREME MARKUPS. If I could post negative stars, I would. I purchased what I thought was a very cute, and very unique. The dress was not cheap at $148, but it seemed worth it at the time.Turns out, I was incorrect, as the EXACT same dress that I bought I saw a few days later on Amazon for $26.99. That is OVER a 500% mark up. I have never been so appalled. Stay away at all costs. The dresses are cute, but they are not worth the prices they are listed at.
