One look into Dandelion’s window past their charmingly painted sign solidifies the need to enter Champaign’s premiere vintage haven.

Once inside, fashion-starved guests can find brightly colored tights, slouchy knit caps, tweed slacks, paisley shift dresses and an assortment of flats and leather boots. There’s an entire rack dedicated to vintage leather jackets, and a glass case filled with old glasses, frames and jewelry. Dandelion even carries such outlandish items as fake mustaches, wigs, glittered sunglasses and satin gloves. Whether customers are looking for a flashy dress for a night out, a comfy sweater to lounge in or even an old-fashioned disguise, Dandelion packs it all into a tidy shop in the heart of downtown Champaign.
