Elizabeth Dickson-Gavney I had the BEST experience at Community in Athens. I was visiting town and needed a dress for a costume party, and Community was listed as one of the top vintage shops in Athens—so I started there first. I’m so glad I did.
Caroline, Hayley, and Tiffany were AMAZING. I shared my costume idea and they immediately jumped in with enthusiasm, creativity, and the kind of “we’ve got you” energy you hope for but don’t always find — like having stylish fairy godmothers in real life. I found a gorgeous vintage 1960s dress that matched the theme perfectly, but it needed alterations, and Hayley worked absolute magic in *less than two days*. She added sleeves, the sweetest buttons, and a pink sash that pulled the whole look together. It was beyond what I even imagined.
And Tiffany went above and beyond: I stopped by on my way to the party so she could tie the sash into a perfect bow, and they were so accommodating and kind about it. They also gave me great recommendations for where to find jewelry and shoes to finish the outfit, which made the whole experience feel truly personal and fun.
Community has officially won a customer for life—this will be a must-stop for me every time I’m in Athens.
