Lots of variety - lots of sizes available, and really good prices! You have to make an appointment for her showroom, but if you contact the owner with enough time, and give her your measurements and tell her what you're looking for, she'll curate some options just for you and you can try on in a COVID safe environment. If you like browsing in a more casual environment, she's also doing an ongoing pop-up store at QED on weekends. Love seeing local business women working together!

Love shopping here! I shopped with her once in her showroom before covid and was so excited to see that she was selling in person at qed. I've loved shopping vintage when I can and this selection is awesome and the condition of the clothing is amazing! She also makes jewelry out of old pieces and they make great gifts. The owner is very knowledgeable and can tell you the history of each garment if you are interested. Was such a great shopping experience! I can't recommend it enough.

I was having a bad day and my boyfriend told me to get out of the apartment. I decided that I needed some retail therapy so I hit up Some of the normal places I shop in the neighborhood but didn't find anything to lift my spirits. I stumbled into QED because I had heard that they had a great game and puzzle selection and lo and behold a vintage pop-up store right in the back! I used to be a stylist and love vintage clothing so I can't tell you how excited I was! I've seen a lot of these collectives popping up after lockdown and this one did not disappoint! The vintage owner was so knowledgeable and friendly, and her collection is insane. We chatted about fashion and I was truly impressed not only at the selection, but the condition and price of the clothing. This is NYC so it's hard to find older vintage pieces in good condition that aren't in the hundreds. I walked away with an awesome 1940s coat and a 1950's dress. The selection is just the right amount to not overwhelm you but make for a fun visit and she said that she brings new stuff in every weekend! To top off my visit I got a puzzle and gift for a friend in the QED bookstore/gift shop. It made my day to stumble into this place and I will be back!

Defiantly miss led. This is not a store as I believed , but a few racks in someone's apartment . The clothing is nice but very overpriced . I was not comfortable with the apartment thing and nothing was appropriate for my need . Owner should find out size and what you need and check that she has something before you make the trip !

Made an appointment with Jade, which I highly recommend. Walked in and was greeted with the warmest hello and a glass of champagne. I didn't find anything I wanted due to the fact that that she showed me what I had to have. So on point. Dressed to the tees and I will be back so soon!

This. Place. Is. Magical. I'm an actress and I needed a piece from the 50s. I contacted Jade and she got back to me immediately. Within a couple hours she had me in her shop helping me picking pieces. I left with the perfect dress. My only regret was that I didn't have more time to look through her INCREDIBLE collection. I've been in the city for 13 years and I've never seen anything like it. An absolute MUST VISIT for lovers of all things vintage. Thanks again Vintage Queens!!

I had a fantastic experience at Vintage Queens NYC; I went in looking for inspiration for a wedding dress and left with a fabulous gown from the 1960's. My friends and I were greeted with champagne and helpful advice, which made it feel almost like a bridal salon experience...except for the fact that my friends were able to leave with one-of-a-kind pieces as well! The space is absolutely beautiful, like going into an alternate-dimension New York City where you could still be cool and have dreams. Experience this shop!

This place is amazing! You won't believe your eyes. The quality of the clothes and the prices beat anything else in a city where vintage is bought and resold at lesser quality for extremely inflated prices. Plus the range of eras is expansive, and curve girls - despair not! They have one of the widest ranges of sizes I've seen, and as someone really busty, this has been great for me (bad for my wallet). Also, love vintage, but don't have the need for it in your life? My friend rented this place for a bachelorette photo shoot - tons of fun. Fair warning - it's by appointment only! They're pretty accommodating, but you should write or call first. The advantages of having an appointment? If you tell the owner what size you are and what you're looking for, she'll pull a special selection just for you.

Reason number 247 for a planning a shopping excursion to Astoria. If you love the thrill of the hunt, what better place to find fabulous things? I've heard nothing but high praise about the joint. This is why you should shop #secondhandfirst.

Vintage Queens is a hidden gem in Astoria, NY. Ideal for anyone who's shopping for high end vintage clothing. Jessica knows her history and has an eye for style. Worth the subway ride, I promise!
