If you are a fan of fashion jewellery, fascinators and garden hats, this is the store for you…read more This great little store is my new faviourte store for all things bling and tea party. The staff are so very kind and the product is well worth the prices. They aren't overpriced but they aren't cheap either. I got a great blinged out, without being gaudy, headband and toe ring. They are so cute and just my style. I will definitely be back as my Mary Kay business allows me to have fabulous parties with fabulous hats and jewellery!

A most amazing store. This is where you come when you want sparkly earrings, gorgeous necklaces and…read moretiny thongs. Yes, from your top to your "bottom" you will find blingy fakes that sparkle like the real thing. Really, go big or go home with the shoulder-duster earrings, great for proms, and really spectacular necklaces, blindingly bright. Very small prices! For under $50CAD, you will have more sparkle than ever before. Good deals on undies, less than $8. for smooth thongs, tummy shapers for under knit dresses. and some of the cutest celebration dresses around. Dressed in Tyme is a bit of an odd duck, for sure, but take your "tyme" going through the store and find items that are far superior to the chain store's fabulous fakes. Looks a bit old lady-ish at first, but get in there and get "brightened" up! Located across from the Safeway inside the mall, downstairs from Blanche McDonald beauty school, 1.5 blocks from Canada Line Cambie Station.

I was drawn to the clearance rack ($39), as I was tempted to buy a gold lame frock that was so unlike me, but sometimes it's good to step outside your comfort zone. Unfortunately nothing fit! He also has other designers in addition to his own label. Cool spot, this is one spot I would go back to to see what's in stock. His dressing room at the top of a set of stairs is not for the vertically-challenged. One wrong step and you could end up in an embarrassing situation!

I've had a dress custom made at this store for a wedding and to this day, I still love it. You can choose the material as well as the style, but it's not cheap. The quality in the workmanship is definitely there. I would probably frequent this shop a lot more if Ric was a less grumpy. The 3 times I came in to shop, he was grumpy and that's a huge buzz-kill. I'd be in a good mood, ready to buy a dress and in the end, I won't buy the item if I'm not completely in love with it. 4/5 since the designs are gorgeous, but the mood kills. #30DaysOfYelp 7/30

Really well curated selection with lots of useful items for kids (Herschel backpacks, Hunter rain boots, Blundtstones, etc.) and babies (Sophies, adorable onesies, receiving blankets, etc) and some just for fun things too. I really appreciate the kind, thoughtful and attentive service and their patience with my sometimes fickle kiddo. Kids shoes are ridiculously pricey but if I'm going to spend the money I'd much rather it go to an awesome local business like this one than a big chain. Highly recommended!

First Nations artwork reproduced and applied to hundreds of everyday items make this a great gift stop for tourists to the Island. I would definitely think of stopping in here to pick up some unusual items for our friends south of the border. Okay so these aren't "one of a kind" pieces as found elsewhere in the plethora of fine art galleries in and around the Island -that isn't an Island ;-), but they're certainly more affordable!

Though slightly underwhelmed by Granville Island, I was impressed with the Wickaninnish Gallery…read more Lots and lots of Native art, in the form of jewelry, clothing, wood, glass, silver and more. I picked up a gift for my niece or nephew. The salesperson was very helpful when I mentioned I was looking for a gift. From the website I learned this is a Native - owned shop opened in 1987. In fact the owner is a relative of Chief Wickaninnish! They also work with artists and are able to assist customers with ordering custom made items. I also thought this was an interesting tidbit: "The Wickaninnish Gallery is named after a powerful First Nations chief, Chief Wickaninnish of the Tla-o-qui-aht People from Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island. The name Wickaninnish translates to "having no one in front of him in the canoe". During the time of European contact, Chief Wickaninnish was a highly revered leader and was very influential in the fur trade." There is no shortage of NW Coast art in Vancouver, but this little gallery is affordable, Native - owned, and carries some nice pieces. May you have no one in front of you in the canoe!
