Modern Times

Chapel Hill's #1 Dress Shop

  • Dresses and Shoes
  • Reputable Name Brand Designers
  • Bridal

This shop was selling Michael Stars, Betsey Johnson and Custo long before any other boutiques even existed. Still pushing the boundaries of fashion with a loyal following, Modern Times offers everything from glamorous cocktail dresses by Nicole Miller (including her Bridal Collection!) to the perfect pair of yoga pants by Hard Tail. With a fresh collection of shoes by Jeffrey Campbell and Faryl Robin, the latest Free People and casual printed dresses by Sweetees, this is THE place to find what you want.

Editorial Review for Modern Times – by Rebecca Gunn

In Short
Intimidating in that boutique sort of way, but if you hit the place when the owner is present, you're in luck. Find that sexy little frock guaranteed to make you look and feel like a star. Swingy A-lines in shiny, unusual prints. Flowing beaded scarves. Clingy T's with Picassoesque designs. And a range of fabrics from high-quality linen to super satiny silk.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Modern Times is truly my favorite place to shop for fun, edgy pieces as well as wardrobe staples such as Hard Tail skirts and Michael Stars tees. The selection of dresses is amazing - from a basic black Nicole Miller sheath to a fun Betsey Johnson sundress, I always find great one-of-a-kind pieces. The staff is helpful, courteous and professional.

i love this store. i always find something i cant live without whenever i stop in. if you like wearing clothes that you are going to see everyone wearing and need a little break from some of the more ordinary boutique finds, this is the place for you. I love the selection of AG jeans, michael stars tops, and lots and lots of pretty dresses. i have always encountered nice staff who are ready and willing to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
