Tiara Day

As someone who knows her vintage clothes & repro vintage pretty darn well…
I was surprised to see a «not even $ 30 Amazon dress» marked up to $ 70 and the original designers tags ripped off.
(Note: I was able to find the same exact dress on eBay for $ 11.99)
The new tags were labeled «made in the USA» and the stitching was CRAP on the tags. The tags were ½ way falling off on EVERY garment.
Any designer who is putting either a size label or brand label in their garments would never do such a shitty job. (I’m also a seamstress)
I asked the lady who was working that day if she knew who was the designer. She didn’t.
I guess that’s okay.
But if you’re going to have a designers product on your shelf in mass quantities, you must be an authorized retailer (I would assume) and you would know the name of the brand you’re stocking your racks with.
Other than that issue, they had a great but overpriced selection of authentic vintage clothes.

Most reviews for Tiara Day are spot-​on. The shop has little signs requesting that folks not take pictures, so you probably won’t find any, but it’s a beautiful little place. Think quaint, antique things, vintage, French, Edith Piaf playing in the background and the smell of caramel. The prices are usually a little high for me (but to be fair, the things are lovely, vintage, hard to find, and not mass-​produced,) and the staff is friendly. I prefer to keep to myself in shops, but the person behind the counter did offer some nice advice about the scents they offer and was knowledgeable. If even just to see a collection of pretty things, I’ll be going back.

I visited this shop this past week and left with my very first vintage dress! A 1950’s day dress. My friend and I had the best time here. There is so much to look at both vintage and new vintage inspired. Definitely worth the trip from Montgomery County.

I couldn’t help but take a picture with my bestie Lily under the Tiara Day sign, which tagline reads «The Place Where Girlfriends Shop»
In addition to having a random assortment of old tins like every store in Frederick (I Love Dfred), they have large assortment of hands and drawer pulls. Who knew when walking into a boutique shop named Tiara Day that they would have a giant selection of drawer pulls.
Why do I love drawer pulls as much as the owner of this little shop. I don’t know… but I do. I almost hastily bought a collection of drawer pulls to put in a glass jar as a decoration. I really need a hobby.
The burning question… YES: they do sell Tiaras. I saw very unique paper ones, but I’m sure they sell actual ones as well. They sell jewelry, pillows, a lot of gift type items.
Oh, is this a cutsie wallet that says something to the effect of «My Shoe Fund.» That’s like everything in the store. I just made that one up… I really think I could go big with that. No one steal that idea… I’m applying for copyright right now.
You’re a girl’s girl? You go in this store now!

I wouldn’t think of going in here, but I stopped in today and was pleasantly surprised–
Though the prices are a little high, they have a carefully curated collection of vintage items like frames, gloves, vanity items, clothing and more. They also have some delicious smelling candles and a variety of other new home items, including a drool-​worthy selection of glass furniture knobs. No need to go to Anthropologie– Tiara Day’s got everything you could need!
Though the knobs were tempting, as were the latte flavored candles, my favorite item they carry is a bottle of Australian hibiscus flowers in syrup– perfect for champagne, or with goat cheese as appetizers. For $ 12, it’s a great unique item… and it’ll keep me coming back again and again, as it’s the decadent item for holiday entertaining and the perfect gift for a few discerning foodies I happen to know.

What a cute shop downtown!
It was Christmas Eve and all my shopping was done and I was just trying to get out of the house to avoid the chaos; I was just walking downtown and I am glad I stumbled on this lovely shop. I got some great Christmas cards from here, my family thought they were very witty! They also had some very beautiful vintage dresses and hats that I have to go back and check out when I have more time. The lady was very nice and we talked about the vintage store that used to be next door. They have everything from cards, jewelry, ornaments, hats and dresses. It is a very girly mother daughter shop. I recommend you take a peak!

Adorable store specializing in kitch and vintage jewlery and goods. Super fun with an impressive and high quality selection!
I think it must be me… because this was the third or fourth store in Frederick that ignored me. I mean, I get that Asians don’t normally wander around Frederick, but still!
A little miffed that I couldn’t get anyone to help me, but it’s probably best that I didn’t buy all the broaches and pins and hats that caught my eye in the display cases.

This store is packed with interesting merchandise both vintage and fun. You must explore every inch of the store to see all of the goodies within. Lots of note cards, journals, day planners, sassy cards, calendars, bookmarks and postcards. Vintage jewelry like brooches, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and of course, tiaras. Vintage cigarette cases and ashtrays. Vintage eyeglasses. Vintage clothing. Gorgeous mini chandeliers of different types of cut glass and crystal. Bath bombs and soaps. Gourmet dip mixes and treats. Vintage hats. Interesting scarves of cashmere and other luxurious fabrics. Gloves and hats. Fragrances. Candles. Aprons sewn using vintage fabrics.
The store is arranged to encourage browsing and exploring. The owner is a sweetheart and has an enthusiasm for the merchandise she carries. It is a great place to pick up a unique gift for someone or to treat yourself.
Note that the store is closed on Tuesdays.

Kinda surprised to not see this place already reviewed, but ok.
Tiara Day is basically a pretty decent sized vintage shop that sells mostly jewelry. There are a couple of handbags, and some clothes, and some other household items, but the focus seems to be on the many jewelry cases.
I happened to find a wedding book from 1936 on display that was pretty fascinating. The flowers from the wedding were still pressed inside.
At first glance, I didn’t really see anything I liked just because it’s not really my style, but if you look closely through the cases you might find something
