2 /5 Rosencrantz Amaranth: I’ll be honest, I’m not going back in here. The ambiance is lovely if not a bit bright, the setup is tasteful, the store smells good, and the selection of designer clothes is decent. They also have a “regular” selection, which is alright. However, unless you want to pay extra for vintage designer clothing, much of which you could thrift or find on someone’s Etsy somewhere else for 1/3 the price, I would not go just for designer consignment, unless you need something tasteful quickly. That being said, this is a good shop for prom, and for any sort of formal event that requires a dress.
Here’s the thing. I felt like I was being watched the whole time by the staff. If you don’t care about that, great. Other reviews saying this place is snooty? I see what they mean. I low-key felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women. The staff are all barely-disguised fake laughs and side eyes, and my fight-or-flight response actually felt engaged.
