Velvet & Gabardine
A plus-size focused vintage clothing parlor crafted with you in mind. We sell only A-C quality vintage items, a curated selection of antique clothing finds from around the world, in a range of realistic sizes (S-4XL). The majority of our items are size Large and above! See our Antique & Vintage Garment Condition Guide and Sizing Tips (coming soon) for more details!
Our name came from a feeling of indecision and excitment! Have you ever wanted to dress in two seemingly opposing styles? We have! So we decided to name those styles: Velvet is a risky, flambouyant, bright and bold fashionista. Gabardine is classic, timeless, elegant, and effortlessly chic. If you're like us, and you wear pearls with your denim, come on by!
We can't wait to dress you!
our owner is excited to meet you!
Velvet & Gabardine is not just a store to me; It's a life-long dream made real! Bringing together my love for pretty old things and much needed size inclusivity was a no-brainer... so many shapes and sizes are welcome here!
I hope to meet you soon!
— Alliah Gilman, Our Owner & CEO of the Velvet Life Brands LLC
