SHOEOFSALVATION
When it comes to apparel, 'vintage' is a word bandied about so lackadaisically it can come swing-tagged to anything from Dior couture to last season's Kmart boho-tie-dyed-peasant top.
Behind every genuine find there is a log of man hours, endlessly thumbing through the racks of moth-eaten rags and mass-produced fictions, or a Great Aunt Belvedere who just happened to have a treasure chest of Chanel hiding in her attic.
Wendy Doughty has made the rack-thumbing her full time job, so the dress-seeking layperson doesn't have to. Her mecca of fineries is stocked to the hilt with previously-adored garments, lovingly handpicked during many buying trips to New York. When Wendy says vintage, she means exquisite Farrah Fawcett-esque silk playsuits, 50s halter dresses your granny twirled to the wireless in, and creamy taffeta ballgowns commanding an occasion to be worn. Mint Condition is a badge worn with pride - each item is checked for flaws, then delicately washed and ironed before it takes its place on the floor.
Readers beware, once this treasure chest is opened, you'll find yourself catching three buses bi-weekly for the never-been-worn, hand-crocheted cardigan keeping you up at night, or another $1 card of Art Deco buttons.
