I’m suz.

Here’s me—at my wedding in Fall 2022, in a (super) vintage gown by judith ann creations, in coastal california.

I started playdate after having one heck of a time finding this dress, and having to order multiple dresses online—sight unseen—to find the right fit for my special day.

Being a single mom and public school teacher at the time of my wedding, I also wanted to find the most affordable, sustainable, and overall responsible way to celebrate.

Now, I am offering dresses like mine—rare, high-quality, long-lasting, and fun—to brides and event-goers who want to make the most of their special days.

I would love to share my collection with you, swap stories with you on a “playdate” (try-on sesh by appointment), and/or guide the adventure of vintage shopping with you and finding your dream dress(es). Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
