History

Established in 2005.

Polka Dot Attic opened as an antiques and children’s book store and quickly turned into a costume shop as well. Number one sellers were tea cups, plates, aprons, and linens. When the store was forced out of its location in 2011, we took it online and by appointment only for locals. The shop is open to parents and their children needing costumes during the school week during the school year. Appointments are mandatory since I can’t stay home 24/​7, so I need to know that you are coming.
