Doll Factory by Damzels

Doll Factory by Damzels is home to the popular Damzels line of dresses plus other lines of the same aesthetic.

Part pin up girl, very rock n roll. Damzels is very much a part of the indie fashion scene in Leslieville.

Dresses, shoes, onsies and quirky retro novelties line the shelves at this Queen East shop.



There is definitely a retro vibe when you walk in the store. Its like you walk back in time to the 40's or 50's. But the pretty feel has a hard edge.

The girl this shop speaks to is more Rizzo than Sandy.


And while my personal style is a bit more mainstream and preppy than this shop that has novelty onsies with faux tattoo sleeves I found plenty to draw me in.

Damzels is known for carrying an incredibly wearable selection of dresses. Many of these taken out of context of the store are perfect for a corporate work environment or day wedding. Wrap dresses in rich colours are my top pick.


The front of the shop is full of novelty items. Printed baby onsies and change purses with our favourite 80s sitcom stars.

They even have fun cowboy rain boots for those not drawn by the lure of Hunters.


Also at the front of the shop are a selection of shoes that go perfectly with the dresses at the back. Again the shoes have a strong retro feel.

Accessories don't stop at shoes. There are plenty of bags and jewelery too.


Doll Factory by Damzels is found in Leslieville between  Brooklyn and Bertmount.  

They carry their house line Damzels in this Dress and are favoured by Canadian rockers like Arcade Fire and the Donnas.
