Jill Lindsey, the eponymously named store which will be at once a gift shop (greeting cards, candles and more), clothing boutique (including dresses, men’s suits and bridal wear) and cafe/lounge is scheduled to open on Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene in May.  With so many wonderful things under one roof, it’s a “mini-department store,” as Jill often refers to it.  The store, located between Adelphi and Clermont, will have an inviting backyard for events or just relaxing.

Jill Lindsey’s designs have been featured in many fashion publications, including Lucky, Racked, NW Source and Daily Candy.  She is known for her “feminine, pretty and fun” designs and “party-ready looks.”  One designer said of Jill’s designs, “(she) makes some of the most gorgeous and interesting special occasion dresses I have encountered.”

But don’t try to box Jill in.  As expertly as she designs and sews the dresses which bear her name, the store will also be an important stop for handmade, custom bridal wear and men’s suits, which she also expertly designs.  Stop in for clothing, gifts or to grab a bite or drink.

Jill Lindsey will be located at 370 Myrtle Avenue between Adelphi and Clermont.  In the meantime, check out Jill’s website at:  jilllindsey.com.
