Rock City Vintage — Local services in Town of Woodstock

Friends and I stepped into this shop and got chased out for taking a sip of my drink. I took a sip of my drink while browsing and the woman working at the store stormed over to me and very confrontationally said I needed to wear a mask and there was a sign. I immediately complied and said I am planning to wear a mask the entire time and want to be safe etc. and was only lowering to take a sip. That wasn’t good enough and she basically asked me to leave. I left to avoid being treated badly. When I left my friend heard her speaking badly about me when all I was trying to do was be nice and courteous and respectful. She lost a customer. Please be aware Covid is something we are all combating together and approaching people with anger and being combative about it is not helping the situation.

Reply to shop owner: I agree with you - you have every right to ask me not to eat/drink/remove my mask for any reason in the store and I was more than willing to comply with this.

Excellent and imaginatively curated collection of fabulous vintage clothing is here to be found. The shop is owned and run by a lovely woman named Molly, who is also a very talented musician AND does excellent alterations! The shop is for the present time only open to folks who will wear their mask over both their mouth and nose, and I for one am grateful for this rule. I noticed Molly got some ridiculous reviews from people who feel entitled to be able to do whatever they want wherever they go regarding masks. These reviews are really unfair, as Molly is exceedingly polite and kind, and is only insistent about masks for the sake of her health and that of...

Great condition vintage clothes that are hip & stylish & ultra-reasonably priced. Sew Woodstock is the absolute best. AND in addition to that owner/ Molly Farley is an incredible seamstress with every possible machine and hand skills to expertly alter anything you buy there (as well as your own clothes if you desire)! This is a local Woodstock treasure - and if you are coming up from NYC or out of town - you will not believe the bang for the buck that you will get when finding unique vintage clothing for women & men at Sew Woodstock. Molly's assistants know everything that is in the store - and are great (and fun) at helping you pick out what looks...
