I need more closet space.

Baltimore Bombshell is a shop that specializes in women's vintage clothing, hats, and shoes, especially from the 1920s to the 1950s. It is located in an old industrial loft apartment in the Inner-Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland.

The clothes, hats, shoes, and apartment belong to me, Jaye.

I have always gravitated towards "old things" as long as I can remember. I wish I could say I wore vintage with pride throughout my youth, but the truth is I was worried about fitting in and not sticking out. So, it was a secret obsession --- that is until my mid-twenties when I started to actually WEAR some of my vintage pieces.

Sure, it's still sometimes uncomfortable with the stares and comments. But thanks to the encouragement of the vintage community --- and Etsy's sweet, delicious enablement --- I have found more and more the ability to be "authentic to my soul" (thanks Jessica C. Of Chronically Vintage for that phrase) and make beautiful old clothing a part of my modern life.

And with that has come the urge to do the same for others who feel at home in vintage dresses and antique hats.

So, with the help and support of a pack of dear vintage-loving friends, I opened Baltimore Bombshell in January 2014.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for stopping by.
And I kinda want to give you a big hug right now.
But there's a screen in the way.
