I visited Cabaret last year for an after hours clothing swap hosted by a youth group. The event was amazing, but I couldn’t help admiring the vintage venue. It had hats, and brooches, and intricate one of a kind dresses from various era of the past. AND on top of that, they have a men’s section – so you don’t have to worry about your prom date missing out on the vintage fun!

The Cabaret happens to be one of the two shops in Toronto that sells dresses from New York brand, Mignon! These classic and extravagant dresses will light up a room and set you apart from the typical crowd! From two pieces and elegant long gowns Cabaret does a good job balancing the two with these dresses.

You don’t want to leave your prom date out! The Cabaret Collection for men by Ellis Esq, is uniquely offered at Cabaret and is a line so well designed and especially tailored to fit a man’s silhouette. They’re classy, yet unique. Masculine yet playful. Timeless yet modern, and a wonderful balance of the both worlds. These striking 1950s inspired brocade tuxedo jackets look amazing paired up some of the Cabaret dresses. Check them out below for some vintage prom inspo!
