My friend told me about this vintage shop; I wasn't aware of it, but the owner said it's been around for ten years! It's small but absolutely packed with great stuff, including clothing, tons of jewelry, hats, men's wear, even little incidentals like lunchboxes and pill bottles. Definitely check it out if you're a vintage fan in the Wheaton area. read more

I bought two incredible dresses for a wedding weekend and really enjoyed my experience here. The owner is wonderful. She will measure you and make suggestions. The information on each dress and overall organization is so helpful. It's a small place will a LOT of selection. The pricing is dependent upon the piece and its provenance, and is very fair. I walked out with two pieces for less than $200. read more

I've been shopping with Lindsay since the days of the Cats Pajamas vintage sale. As a plus size vintage lover, she was consistently the only seller who had dynamic beautiful pieces in my size. From last minutes requests for costumes to special pieces for my wedding, she has never disappointed me! The shop itself is well worth the drive for me and I'm due for another visit soon. Also worth noting their jewelry collection is outstanding! read more

Repeat customer at Frocks and Frills. The owner is a lovely person. She is quick to answer questions and makes sure you're comfortable with your purchase. I love this sexy wiggle dress. Can't wait for my next find from this lovely shop. Matching gloves & purse from the shop too! read more

Frocks and Frills Vintage - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

BEWARE!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE!! I was very excited and interested to come here looking to find some vintage jewelry. This turned out to be one of the worst shopping experiences I've EVER had. My first impression was it was small, super cluttered and smelled very odd.. I was also not impressed with any of the selection of clothes or jewelry they had it all just seemed like a bunch of old junk (not to mention it was expensive). After spending a couple of minutes in the store the employee and owner started staring at me while I was looking at the bracelets and began to accuse me of stealing. I am not surprised not a soul was in this shop they're customer service is terrible!! Overall, this whole experience made me super uncomfortable and I will never be coming back here again!! Don't make the same mistake I did.. it was a waste of time for an overpriced thrift store! read more

I love frocks and frills. The owner is very knowledgeable. I came across the store driving around with my husband. The owner asked my waist size and from there knew everything that would fit me. I love 60s clothes and she helped me pick stuff out. We bought a lot that day. I always check her Etsy store as well, as she has a great eye! I can not believe the hurtful reviews on here. I never was under the impression that the owner was rude. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's into vintage goods! read more

Well this was a disappointing first visit. Got two reasonably priced items, a brooch and a pair of earrings, ok so far. Then I purchased what I thought was a pair of Vintage LISNER earrings in the glass case (on a Lisner card) but they are not LISNER. I got home and looked at them through a Jeweler's loop and there is a makers mark on the clip but it is not LISNER, can't make it out. They do have a nice variety of things in the store but really put off now with the misleading earrings. I'd bring them back but can't find my receipt....when it rains it pours. Update: Will not be back to this store. What else is misrepresented or labeled? Blaming me because I didn't inspect them close enough, really? read more

I cannot say enough good things about this gem! Amazing selection, phenomenal quality and owners are so sweet and helpful!!!

In terms of lingerie, this is an extra special spot to get something special for the bride to be. The owner of the store has a high level of knowledge in terms of color coordination and various eras of clothing . I was able to find tops to match the two skirts I brought in. The owner exhibits a high level of knowledge within the fashion industry. I don't wear hats often but will certainly be back for Kentucky Derby season to accessorize with the extensive inventory available. read more

The store is unique for offering both quality and quantity of vintage items. I especially appreciate the jewelry and hats, as well as the nice selection of menswear. My advice to you, vintage shopper, is to follow their posts on instagram to get a feel for the options, and then make the trek to Wheaton to check out the store in real life.You won't regret it. It's just a few blocks from the Wheaton stop on the Metra west line--& they offer great customer service too! read more

This is the coolest place, There is so much that brings old memories to life. loads of vintage clothing in great condition. Its right downtown in wheaton. I got some stuff that I would have worn to Stone park, Mannheim Road in the 70's read more

So I don't normally go out of my way to write a review, let alone a bad one. Walking into this establishment I was pleased to see such a wonderful selection but was quickly turned off by the rude customer service. Picture this: Im Julia roberts in pretty woman and they had the audacity to point out a whole section of clothing that they assumed I couldn't afford. I may look young but I stay humble. read more

Stopped in today and bought a skirt, a dress, and a pair of earrings. I looked at the other Yelp reviews before posting, and was surprised by the last one. There wasn't a bad smell at all, and the only tags I saw that weren't from the store were things like an original tag from the 1950's. All of the clothing is sized by waist measurement, then color coded, so it's easy to find sizes. Loved all of the jewelry and hats! The owner talked about her Etsy store. I like to go in and see things, so I'm glad she has the local shop! read more

This place is packed with vintage jewelry and clothing! I love that they have the clothes organized by decade! The owner is very helpful and friendly. Check this place out. You won't be sorry read more

Love love love this boutique! Such a beautiful shop to hunt for vintage treasures. You can tell what passion the owner has for the shop the moment you lay eyes on it. The changing themed window displays are my ultimate favorite! This is the perfect place for quality vintage pieces at a completely fair price. I've also done a lot of perusing this shop from the comfort of my couch by way of Etsy and instagram. The owner has gone above and beyond to answer all of my questions in regards to items posted in the most timely manner! Even in off hours she responds! Now that's what I call service! With the growth of big box shops I just adore little boutiques such as this. There's some real gems to be found for all of us vintage lovers! read more

Always amazing. I usually know what I am looking for when I head in, and I always find something I need. Items are beautifully cared for and look as beautiful as they did the day they were created. The owner is amazing, she always has suggestions for items, and is willing to search for things I am looking for. This place is a rare gem among modern businesses read more

A mean owner and high prices. If you're into that, this place is for you. I needed a suit for my daughter's wedding. They made it about as much fun as going to the dentist. And that's too much of an insult for a dentist. read more

This shop has it all, and the most wonderful owner to boot. When I come, I often bring 3 friends, as I know they love the place as much as I do. Tho we start in search of hats, most often we leave with other treasures as well. read more

High ceilings, elegant chandeliers and a touch of pink is just the beginning of what is becoming a local favorite in the downtown Wheaton scene. Located across from the Egg Harbor Cafe on Hale Street, this nostalgic shop showcases how the decades were truly remembered. Featuring clothes for men and women, books, hats, necklaces, shoes, handbags and other desired treasures, the artfully placed items cater to every age group. The store owner is constantly bringing in new products and is meticulous about the quality, which means rips, tears and stains are nonexistent. Bottom line? Even if you were not born during that era, you fall in love with it. read more

This is such a great vintage shop! The shop owner is always restocking new merchandise regularly, and her taste is exquisite! She is always seeking out unique pieces that are clean and excellent quality. Whenever I shop here, I always find something wonderful for any occasion. I have also had the owner offer to find me what I am looking for if I can't find it with her! This shop truly is a gem to anyone who LOVES vintage clothing and accessories! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shop!!! I have been collecting vintage since the 1980s and this shop is the real deal one of the best! There are shops of this quality in Chicago proper, but as far as I have found, this is the only one of its kind currently in the suburbs of Chicago. High quality vintage clothing from someone who knows vintage. She has a great variety of sizes and a wonderful variety of eras, all categorized by decade. She also carries a nice variety from casual, every day clothing to cocktail dresses, evening gowns, shoes and accessories and a men's section for my husband. My husband and I like 40s, 50s and 60s and my teenage daughters like 60s, 70s and 80s and she has it all. The owner is extremely helpful and gives suggestions on clothing that is in your size and style. If you are near Wheaton or have any excuse to go there and love vintage, you have to check this store out! read more

STELLAR shop -- this is real vintage, not things that are vintage-look or from Macy's last year like so many other vintage shops. The shop owner is very kind and helpful; she knows her stock well and she has an excellent memory for things she does not have on display but can bring to you. Real joy to shop here! read more

This is the best vintage shop I have ever been to! They have a fantastic selection of clothing from many different eras, and lots of cute, quirky items as well. You could go ten different times and discover something new every time. read more

Beautiful shop! So much care has been put into the presentation and care of the vintage. Well organized. Very knowledgeable and sweet owner - best of the best - highly recommended. I will be back!!! read more

This store is totally stellar! Anyone who loves vintage MUST COME HERE!!!! Hats, hats, hats galore. I could live here (ok... I am exaggerating but you get the picture). The layout is flowing and not overcramed. Displays are done with great care. The store is clean and doesn't have that musty old smell. You can tell the shop owner really cares about vintage and does not just want to make a buck. I purchased 3 hats and will be back in the future to make more purchases. This is my new favorite vintage store. read more

Like this place although it is pricey. I understand VINTAGE is in, but still, wondering if she sells anything from here. I searched forever for a purse to match my 'mother of the groom' dress and found the perfect match there. It was quite expensive, but I was exhausted from my search and found the purse was a vintage lucite purse. I bought it and got a ton of compliments. Would go back again if I was looking for something really different and special. I dealt with the owners mother and she was a doll, beyond helpful in explaining things. read more

The selection itself is okay for the suburbs, but everything in the shop can be easily found for a fraction of the price online. That plus the absolute hostility of a shopkeeper make this place a waste of time. Despite the inflated prices, I wanted to support a brick and mortar store. My sister, husband and I browsed- my sister and I with the intention of buying. While my sister and I browsed the clothes, my husband looked around the men's corner, and at the postcards and things. We were taking our time, when I overheard the shopkeeper say "don't take pictures in here." My husband apologized immediately, saying "sorry, so sorry" and put his phone away. The woman continued, saying it defeats the purpose of selling it and that it "insulted" her. Her tone was so aggressive, so loud, that my sister and I, jaws dropped and cheeks aflame, hung up our dresses. When we ask if he's ready to go the woman asks if we have to go because he is "embarrassing us". My husband is from Europe (we are visiting for the holidays) and he was excited to see old fashioned American postcards. She likely thought we were embarassed by the aghast looks on our faces. If anything I was embarrassed by her. Shocked and humiliated, lest my husband think such shrill disrespect is normal here. She lost our business. A no photo policy is completely understandable, but such lack of civility (over a 50 cent postcard photo which was taken, and which he would have even bought) is not. I highly advise against going here. Save your money and look elsewhere. read more

I had been researching places to shop for vintage clothing and came across Frocks and Frills. I decided to go because it looked like a cute shop and I like to support local business, but upon entering I instantly regretted my decision. First I was told after walking in to set my coffee at the front and given a dirty glance up and down. I understood that they may not want drinks spilled on the clothing so I brushed it off and continued to browse the store. After looking for no more than two minutes I was continuously asked a series of questions which ranged from helpful to plain insulting. I told the woman I would just like to look through the shirts and she left me for another five minutes, then came back and continued asking me questions and giving me dirty glances. The women who worked there were rude and seemed to just want to get me out of the store, as if my money was no good there. It was one of the worst if not the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. read more

True vintage shop, with very interesting inventory by decades and sizes. Like a museum. Some great finds! Will be back when in town. Thank you!!! read more

this place is horrible. it's so small the owners and employees are literally staring at you as you glance around. the other reviews are fake asl besides the clothes being arranged by decade. seriously this place is trash. read more

The owner is very unwelcoming and rude. I went in there with a friend and she yelled at the friend because he didn't say hi. Whenever I go in she follows me around and inspects me carefully like she thinks I will steal something. I feel very unwelcome there and will most likely not be returning. read more

This store is a little gem in Wheaton. The owner is delightful. The vintage clothes she has are high quality and very unique. Everything is organized by decade, which is so much fun to look through. Besides the clothes, she carries an exceptional array of beautiful accessories. You can surely find something interesting here. read more
