Summer’s arrival means weddings and garden parties have suddenly packed your social calendar.

We know at least two lovely ladies that found their perfect frocks at Cabaret Vintage. Inside the boudoir on Queen, a bride-to-be pounced on her dream 1950s mermaid gown. Another walked in with a swatch of Tiffany blue fabric and left with a dress Mad Men’s Joan Holloway would die for.

Cabaret’s selection is impressive, regularly refreshed and reasonably priced. Look for the owner, Tao, who will listen patiently to your needs and offer gentle suggestions.

He also knows the best seamstresses in town, useful if you don’t have Holloway’s hourglass curves.
