Fashion Find: Vintage Western Dress

For two long years, Rockridge resident Allegra Thompson looked high and low for a Western-style dress.

After recently taking a stroll down College Avenue, she spotted a purple vintage Western dress hanging in the window of Pretty Penny.

"Vintage women's Western shirts are really hard to find," she said. "But finding a Western dress is even harder."

Not long after trying it on, she was in line to make the $34 purchase, which she considered a steal.

She said the ones she has seen online can run up to $150.

"It totally is like fate," she said.

Thompson says the reason it was so difficult to find was because they were not made for very long.

Thompson, who plays in a country music band called the Drifter Sisters, plans on wearing it during their next show.

"They're super comfortable and they look and feel great," she said.
