One of the blessings of living on the Central Coast is the weather and Elna’s Dress Shop wants to create something that inspires, brightens, uplifts, and puts a smile on your face. If you are going to make one addition to your wardrobe this season, make it a print. From polka-dots, stripes, florals, or checks every pattern offers a world of stylish possibilities.
This is added to some of the basic items you have in your wardrobe: a pair of black, navy, grey, white, and tan pants.
Brown pants in the fall are also important. Also a basic is black dress and/or black skirt. Let’s not forget a pair of denim pants, skirt, or dress for all seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer.
Pick a basic piece of clothing that you feel is incredibly striking while also being understated and yet gives you confidence. We will help you build a complimentary new piece of clothing to update your wordrobe.
A new season, as of Memorial Day first day of summer, brings in new styles. Elna’s Dress Shop is the place to come. If planning your wardrobe is something you have on your “to do” list, you must select clothes you haven’t worn for some time (say a year of more) perhaps it’s time to part with them. They are taking up valuable closet space for all the new “must haves” for the coming season. It is nice to air clothing out, as believe it or not, dust does settle in our closet.
Let us make suggestions, coordinating fashions with your lifestyle in mind. Wardrobe building is a free service at Elna’s. All local customers are entitled to a 10% discount.

Elna’s has the greatest clothes I’ve seen in a long time. Friends I went with agree. Never have I purchased so much at any dress shop all at once. Planning to revisit with other friends soon. Fabulous clothes and great personal service.
This shop has A LOT MORE than Danish Costumes. Look beyond the window displays to the racks of great clothes. And if you are lucky enough to get the owner, Sue, to assist you – well, your shopping trip is in VERY GOOD HANDS.
