The Cat's Pajamas

From the Urban Dictionary: "1920s Lingo describing someone (something) who is great, incredible or special. Usually indicating stylishness or innovation. Pajamas were a relatively new fashion in the 1920s. The term "cat" was beginning to be used as a term to describe the out going and unconventional jazz-age flappers." Here you'll find what to wear, where to get it, and what was going on in the 1920's. I hope it inspires your costume creation for my birthday party in November. Have fun! ~eileen

Buying Vintage

If you want to see what's around in the way of vintage clothes, keep in mind that they can be rather spendy and are often fragile, so just be gentle when putting them on and wearing them. They also tend to come in rather small sizes, just fyi. Here are a few places in Seattle that you can check out.

These I've been to:

Pretty Parlor

Not sure what the Red Light has in the way of 20's vintage (they specialize in vintage from 1940-1990), but they do have a costume selection.

This one I have NOT been to, but found online:

Their website is under construction, so here's a link to info on Yelp.
