I did all my shopping at stores like Purple Passion and DeMask in NYC and Dream Dresser when it was in DC. I would also shop on Ebay and order things like satin corsets from Versatile fashions and things like Italian silk lined kid leather opera gloves from the old Maitresse catalog.
I purchased my favorite pair of thigh boots in NYC at Stiletto on 8th St. I also shopped a few times at Lee Brewsters boutique. Any girl who was there could never forget the experience of taking an elevator up from 14th St.
I would buy things like stockings and garter belts from Victoria’s Secret or Macy’s at the Herald Square store.
My favorite place to shop was at Jessie’s Bridals in Vineland NJ. Jessie would measure me and then take my sketches and make my designs real. She even made a leather dress for me once.
