Show Off Vancouver
Fashion clothing
This little store is a gem!
Walking on Main Street, I passed this store numerous time before noticing what was inside. The unique skirt I saw in the window one day is what got me in, and I didn't regret it! I found beautiful fashion clothing for special events, like prom, galas or weddings. They have quite a nice selection to "show off" in good taste to any party.Â
The lovely lady helped me try on any outfit I wanted and told me about personalized options and designs by Kam available. I can't wait for the day I'll need one of those!
I ended up buying a pretty black skirt from the sales rack that day and now I keep an eye open every time I walk in front of the store for their that rack, often on the sidewalk (or as the weather permits). For some reason, I always end up looking totally out of place when I go in, but I never felt judged or pressured by the nice lady standing in.
