Master seamstress and costume maker Margaret Retherford – who has provided garments for Dickens Fairs, Wild West Days, theme weddings and several other events in Lake County – recently opened her own women’s clothing boutique.
The Virtuous Woman, inspired from the bible where a virtuous woman is described as a woman of success. So of course a successful woman would want to buy clothing that will show her success.
With Retherford’s many years of experience in the clothing industry she handpicks every item for the shop and most of her customers rave on her garment choices.
Among the items for sale are some of Retherford’s own creations along with a wide variety of fashion clothing from small to 3-extra larger. Much of the inventory is USA-made with some well known brand names. Also for sale is a very exquisite line of American Indian jewelry
Retherford feels that because of the current economics, she has priced all garments to fit the most modest of budgets.
Come discover this new clothing, jewelry and gift store, and be dazzled.
The Virtuous Woman is located in historic downtown Upper Lake's Main Street Mall, 9495 Main St., Suite No. 9.
Call the shop for the current hours of business, 707-275-2055.
