Insider Pages Reviews for Le Frock
I went there just out of curiousity as a used pair of phenomenal Alexander McQeen pumps my sister tried on a month prior in Norstrom caught my eye. In Nordstrom they were $1199.99. In Le Frock they were about $175, if I'm correct. The shoes looked like they had been worn like twice at the most! So being a thoughtful sibling, I bought the shoes as a suprise for my sister. When I presented the shoes to her, words couldn't explain how happy she was. I mentioned the store to her where I found them, and we've made it a regular shopping spot as I have found some HOT peices for my wardrobe as well. Including CoSTUME NATIONAL, Andrew McKenzie, Gucci, Versace and so on.... Overall, the store exceeded my expectation by far! Oh, might I add great customer service too!

each piece of clothing pretends that it is a certain big brand name like prada, but it is totally fake. regardless, i still looked through each piece of clothing to see whether or not it is worth the price or not. i must admit, there were a couple of clothing that were quite stylish, yet, i know that i can definately have made these pieces myself and sewed in a brandname as well. anyhow, the prices usually range under $70, that i have seen. but some of the clothes are not worth nearly 50% of the price tagged.

Nice clothes, both vintage and contemporary
by shastasother
I visited this store while on a trip to Seattle in hopes of finding some vintage items. I found many to admire, try on, and buy. They had many beautiful, unique vintage articles that were in very good condition - sometimes a difficult thing to find. The prices seemed reasonable, especially as I was there during their "dot sale" - tags have different colored dots that denote different discounts. The store was small and full, but they regularly took items from me as I selected them, so I didn't have trouble moving around. They placed my items in a dressing room when I was ready to try them on. I did not buy any contemporary designer labels and can not speak to the selection or pricing on this type of item. I did look at an exquisted skirt by a local, contemporary designer, but this satiny number had a few spots on front and back and I wasn't willing to risk them not coming out for the ~$40 price.
Pros: vintage clothing

Style...

Good clothes, good prices. One of the only places in a fashion-challenged city to get some designer clothes at good prices. The vintage clothes are some of the best around for the classy person with style. Not alot of room to move around makes it difficult to shop when its busy. A good staple place to go when you are a little older than 21 and want to look put together.
Pros: Good Prices, Good Hours, Good merchandise
Cons: Crowded racks, Somewhat messy
