Dream Apparel & Articles For People

A funky little boutique carrying unique, locally made fashion made by Vancouver’s up-​and-​coming designers. A lot of the fashions aren’t really within my budget, however, the styles are which is very hard to do for me where I am not into a lot of fashionable things to begin with. Customer service was friendly.

Definitely one of my favourite Gastown clothing stores! I stopped in literally minutes before a show to see if I could pick up a long skirt to wear at the semi-​formal function.
I got lost in the racks of gorgeous items — and ended up purchasing TWO incredible pieces. One a longer than floor length high waisted pleated a-​line style skirt and a jersey style comfortable skirt with a high slit in the front. These two pieces were on sale and an absolutely steal! So classy and elegant.
This store is awesome and filled to the brim with unique pieces made for a lady with an adventurous soul! So pleased I stopped in!

One of my new favorite stores! I mainly came here because one of my favorite indie jewelry designer sells her stuff through this boutique. Upon entering, I was amazed at the talent of the local designers’ work. There are some beautifully tailored pieces made with high quality material/​fabrics throughout the shop.
I can’t really afford much of the clothing right now because I am a student. However, I will be coming back again and again because of the jewelry. I am in love with the vintage reworks by the various local designers. Lots of the jewelry are one-​of-​a-​kind and handmade. I bought 2 necklaces: one for $ 32 (on sale, regular $ 40), and one for $ 38. I’d say these prices are fair.
The owner is awesome. She’s extremely knowledgeable, talkative and friendly with everyone that comes in. She isn’t pushy and you can tell that local fashion is her passion.
If you are unable to attend the city’s local craft markets, then this is the place to be!
I plan on taking a peak at Little Dream on Granville Island very soon! I have a feeling Dream is just a taste of the one-​of-​a-​kind stuff. There must be more at the other location!

I have been shopping at Dream for years and hope to for years to come! The store features clothing and accessories, all made by local artisans and designers! There is always something new I am adding to my must-​have list :) Prices reflect the handmade, unique nature of the items. If you pay attention on Facebook or stop in often enough you can find amazing pieces at great sale prices. I have been been lucky on several occasions in this way. I can’t WAIT to wear the amazing wool coat I picked up on sale in the spring. They also have great taste in music and the owner, Wendy, is the sweetest. She has been doing this for years and has a great eye and is just all-​round lovely.
