Style and Vanity.


Everyone needs a little dose of vanity once in a while. It's the vanity that often gets us out of bed, off to the shower and into one of our favorite, feel-good outfits when running late or feeling low. It's the vanity that keeps us going to the gym and eating healthier. Anything in moderation is a good thing and a little bit of vanity simply can’t hurt.

It’s our personal style that represents the way we feel about ourselves. A well balanced and healthy outlook with a clear idea of what type of image we want to project becomes part of our everyday mantra.

 The Velvet Room offers a vast number of signature pieces that define ones personal style and carry forward a clear and healthy womanly image. These pieces are worth the investment to sustain your look today and be in your wardrobe for years to come. 

At The Velvet Room, we encourage you to create or add onto you’re unique & signature style – every women deserves a little piece of fashion that they can call their own.

THE TESSA DRESS BY NARCISSIST
"The Tessa is the perfect transitional dress. You'll see me wearing this dress particularly on days when I rush from work to dinner.  Not only can you wear this dress year round as it is seasonless, ( Linen blend with a good stretch for comfort ) the Tessa is the perfect low key yet Fashion forward dress that can be worn for business, events or for an evening out"
-Deborah Richardson (co-owner)
Available in Brown with purple side trim,
or black

Dresses for Summer Weddings and Events

When it comes to fashion, the arrival of summer screams only one thing: Wedding Season. This year, the quest to find the perfect little number for that big day doesn't have to be a frustrating task. Whether the bride has planned a casual outdoor wedding, autumn event, or a glamorous black tie affair, the Velvet Room Boutique can offer a dress to suit your needs.

Each item showcased in the boutique is Canadian made and hand picked by Mother-Daughter team and store owners, Deborah Richardson and Jessica Elliott. For weddings, their top picks are one-of's silk dresses and wrap scarves by Sanyia Khan, silk separates and dresses by Jayn Simpson and versatile numbers by Narcissist Designs.

“If you are in the wedding party, stick to simple classics and minimal
patterns. You don't want to be the one looking out of place
in the family pictures” Deborah says
  “We are often asked 'Can I wear Black to a Wedding?' The answer is most definitely Yes,” says Jessica.
“Black is more than acceptable for bridesmaids and guest, even the mother of the bride, if the bride approves.”

Dresses run from $159 to $595 and can be complimented by the boutique's wide range of wraps, shrugs,
handbags and beautiful jewellery everything you need to put together that special ensemble!
Deborah suggests that the best way to work with black is to accessorize with your favourite summer colours. “Try adding quality accessories such as a wrap, clutch bag or leather belt in a vibrant colour.”

No matter what your summer dress occasion may be, stop by The Velvet Room Boutique.
There is something for every event, body and budget.
