Lovers of twentieth century fashion will be thrilled to walk in here and find exactly what they were hoping for: what seems like every piece of clothing ever designed, arranged by decade and style. This historian's dream will take you a couple of hours to go through (my only complaint is that Chelsea's is literally crammed to the ceiling with merchandise, almost making it hard to sort through), but it's always worth the effort. A great place for pick-me-up shopping, a way to drop twenty bucks just for the fun of it, or a first stop if you need to locate just THE right blazer from the 1950's.
They also have an extensive costume rental booth (be sure to also check out Cleveland Shop across the street) and possibly the nicest saleslady/owner this side of town. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
- Pros: Have everything under the sun
- Cons: Watch where you park!
