Featuring a Seattle's (Ballard) Boutique "Curtis Steiner": A Mini Wonderland for Women Who Love Vintage

One sunny morning, walking by, I took notice of a little boutique, Curtis Steiner, that had paper dresses at the window.  I had passed by this boutique many times before, but this time, I took a closer look, and decided to go in to learn more behind the lovely creations.  The shop was filed with doll size paper dresses, ranging from $200-500 approximately, vintage jewelry, and household antiques. Everything was laid out magnificently, very crisp, clean, and sophisticated.

I went through a brief interview session with the owner.  Mr.Steiner was inspired by the vision of combining something theatrical and art gallery-like, something different because he felt that regular retail always sold the same thing.  He have had the current location for 2 years, and prior to that, he had the business for 13 years just down the block from the current location.  He sells vintage jewelry and antique, as well as items from independent artists. The artist that created the paper dresses, was Ann Dunbar.
