"I can see why The Garment District may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm sippin'! I've been here on more than one visit to Cambridge, and there's never a lack of unique vintage, costume, and gently used modern pieces to add to my wardrobe. I can easily spend an hour or more perusing the racks and people watching. The Garment District is a place of it's own.
This is a two story warehouse full of goodies in every corner. I can't speak to the accessibility; I'm not sure if there are elevators or ramps to enter. There is, however, a gender neutral restroom - though I didn't utilize it myself.
The first floor is primarily brand new costume pieces, makeup, and accessories. The second floor is where the real magic happens. It's a neatly organized, seemingly never-ending collection of gently-used clothing, shoes, and accessories dating as far back as the 1940's. I can't say enough about the cleanliness and organization: "Women's 80's Jackets" and "Vintage College Sweatshirts" are just two examples of the categorized clothing racks. If you're seeking trends from a specific era or attending an event with a particular dress-code, the Garment District makes it easy to sift through their selection.
The missing star is for pricing. Though many of the items are niche, there were lofts of items I would have likely purchased if the prices were more reflective of the quality of the purchased item. I have a hard time dishing out $15-20 for items with obvious flaws, stains, or holes - I don't care how "vintage" it claims to be. I did, however, snag a blouse or two for my work wardrobe, both ranging $10 or below. There are good deals, but on the whole, the pricing is higher than you'd pay in most other second hand stores."
