Wanted a dress for my 21st, had a very specific 50's style in mind, so had spent the day trawling vintage shops in Brunswick. Currency was one of the last ones we looked at, and I found a number of lovely dresses, and I did end up finding a cute dress, but it was the great service from the lady working there that sold it for me.

She suggested a few dresses for me (actually took on board the style I wanted; many shop assistants seemed to have no idea of the style I was talking about) and because I ended up buying 2 dresses, she did me a deal - I got them both for $140, pretty cheap for vintage - usually it is obscenely overpriced for what it is.

Will definitely go back there when I find myself on Brunswick St (which will probably be soon, I simply can't stay away from Vegie Bar.)

Approximate cost: $70 (per dress)
