Abstract

Linda Mitchell-Storer has spent a lifetime collecting formalwear. Dresses, wedding gowns, coats, and costumes are all showcased at her shop, Vintage Finery in Orrington. Over the years, Mitchell-Storer’s vast knowledge has helped theaters and historical reenactments with their costuming. Even after an early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis, she fondly remembers helping brides who sought out Vintage Finery for their special days. The owner of Red Rabbit Bazaar, Cara Oleksyk of Bangor, has been purchasing from Mitchell-Storer and helping locate potential buyers for the vast collection.
