8 costumers are selling their goodies in one place! Shop for fabric, patterns, historical & fantasy costumes, accessories, wigs, vintage clothing, Halloween & goth gear, handmade crafts — bargains & surprises galore.

Looking for a reproduction 18th-c. gown, vintage ostrich plumes, or a traditional Egyptian belly-dance costume? How about a 1950s black taffeta dress, a reproduction 1850s Dickens Faire dress, or a red satin can-can costume? Maybe bolts of velvet & brocade fabric or wedding veil supplies are your thing? Come see these delights & more.

A few sellers will take PayPal, all will take cash. A communal dressing room with mirrors is available to try costumes on.

Visit the treasure trove of other costumers’ closets. You never know what fabulous things you’ll find!

Bonus for buyers:
This house is just blocks away from the hidden gem that is San Jose’s Antique Row. Visit over a dozen jam-packed stores, selling everything from Victorian oak furniture to vintage 1950s dresses to Art Deco glassware — often at better prices & less picked-over than in other parts of the Bay Area. We’ll have a handout listing all the stores. Get a full day of treasure hunting in San Jose.

Ebay Auctions!

All that poverty I’ve been whining about lately has made me thoroughly clean out my stash of random things to get rid of, which includes my fabric stash! I’ve listed a bunch of things on ebay, including two nice striped wools, two different vintage rayons, a beautiful silk brocade that would be perfect for a corset, repro vintage shoes in size 11 (would also fit a 10.5), three different rayon suitings, a Husqvarna blind hem foot, a bunch of lining fabrics, a book about Madame de Pompadour, a garter belt… Save me from poverty! Check out my auctions! Coming soon will be the great Vintage Closet Clean Out…
