5 /5 Rosalin Waitt: As a frugal fashion enthusiast, I appreciate the delightful finds offered by Lake House Clothing Co.
My experiences over the years in thrift and consignment stores have led me to discover many beautiful, high-quality pieces.
I believe in prioritizing quality over quantity, opting to invest in a few carefully crafted items that can withstand the test of time—much like the timeless elegance of fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis.
Recently, my niece visited from New Jersey and inquired about nearby thrift stores. Instantly, I remembered a hidden gem known for its fantastic selection of new clothes at remarkable prices.
On Saturday afternoon, she was warmly welcomed by the store owners.
While exploring the "fancy dress" section, she discovered two dresses that captured her interest.
One dress fit beautifully with only a minor adjustment needed for length, while the other required some pleating and hemming.
Our dedicated seamstress embraced the challenge with determination and spent all of Sunday expertly tailoring the dresses. At 5:07 PM, we received a text confirming the completion of the alterations.
Excitedly, my niece and I hurried to the store, arriving just before closing at 5:58 PM. She was absolutely thrilled with the fit of her dresses, and I felt immense joy in seeing her delight.
I expressed my gratitude to Tommy, the owner, with a high five, and shared a warm hug with Glecy, the owner/seamstress, for their exceptional efforts in ensuring the dresses were ready in time for her return home the following day.
Attached you’ll find her dresses!
