Antique clothing buyer in Seattle area??

Question

I recently recovered several velvet dressing gowns, silk blouses, and other items of clothing from around 1920 from my grandmother's basement. Someone told me that they would be worth a lot if I were to sell them- however, I don't know where / who to sell them to? Help please!

Answer 1

Is there still a Buffalo Exchange on the Ave ?

Answer 2

Try the Fremont district.

Answer 3

Red Light Vintage Clothing also carries Victorian through 80's vintage clothing http://www.redlightvintage.com/

Check eBay also & see if you can find some past sales to give you a rough idea on values.

Answer 4

Hi Eleanor... try:  

Isadora's Antique Clothing

1915 First Ave

Seattle, WA 98101-1010

Phone: [phone]

I have not been there, I would call before going to be sure they still are in business.

Maybe you can try the higher end consignment shops...there are some in Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland...

Hope this helps!
