Dovetail

Yes, this is a vintage shop, but you won't find over-packed racks or a musty patchouli stench. Instead, you'll find stylish vintage clothing and mid-century modern furniture that will fit right into your modern wardrobe or apartment. Hence the shop's name, which refers to a dovetail joint, a woodworking technique that seamlessly fits two parts together. "You're not going to look like you stepped out of a time capsule," says co-owner Julie Ghatan, who teamed up with fellow vintage collector Jennifer Clower, who also owns Bucktown's Lustre Skin Boutique. You'll find skinny ties and Western button-ups for men along with colorful summer frocks and classically styled shoes for girls. And as for the furniture and home accessories, they're arranged in their own mock living-room set-up.
