Retail Watch: Frock Dresses Up Park Slope

Vintage dress shop Frock has a new outpost on New York's other 5th Avenue—between Garfield Place and 1st Street in Brooklyn's über-gentrified Park Slope neighborhood. The store is stocked with many a YSL, Emanuel Ungaro and Cacharel from the '60s through the '80s, and all sourced from the private closets of New York's best dressed.

We spotted a Rive Gauche black-and-white polka dot shirt-dress (very Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) and a Working Girl-style red V-neck dress by Valentino among the ceiling-suspended racks in the bare, white-walled space. Meanwhile, the equally impressive accessories collection includes treasures like a Pierre Cardin carryall in navy with burgundy piping.

Editorial stylist/owner Evan Ross' pieces don't come cheap (most dresses are in the $400 range and can reach up to $3,500), but they're all glossy-page and red carpet-worthy.
