Aside from Regina B, where else can I find headpieces? Reasonably priced of course. Thanks!

Re: Headpieces in the city?
If you walk down 6th through the garment dictrict there's a whole bunch of costume jewelry stores that have tiaras, combs, bands, hairpins....and jewelry of course. Start around 40th or so and walk down to Macys. There's a bunch, I just did that on Friday.

Re: Headpieces in the city?
i was thinking this too since i'm a little slow at work right now. I always thought the garment district was wholesale only - I guess not?

There are a few places that are. But on every door to the store it will say wholesale and retail, or wholesale only. Most of the jewelry places are both. Also, don't be afraid to haggle for price if you're buying a lot. I bought brooches for my girls dresses and when I told him I would be buying 6 of them, he went down $2. It's not a lot, but every little bit helps. Also, pay in cash and some of them, not all but some, won't charge you tax.

This is one of my favorite costume jewelry stores in the city: So Good Jewelry 496 Broadway (Spring-Broome Sts.) 212-625-9552 It's near Canal St. too- so you can hit up both (good for costume jewelry, brooches, headpieces, misc. gifts, bags...)
