Over 40 years ago “Off Broadway Boutique” opened in New York City, changing the way women would view glamour and style, shape and form forever. The boutique, which has consistently offered clients rare jewelry, unique shapes and versatile collections, has been the source of awe-inspiring, confident styles for the women of New York City for decades. With Lynn’s innovative business sense the “Off Broadway Boutique” has been able to meet the needs of the busiest woman in New York City and now beyond with the launch of the company website www.boutiqueoffbroadway.com

. One of the most compelling parts of the company is the three-phase aspect of the boutique: the full service

retail store occupying the grand entrance, a vintage-consignment shop in the rear and a full design studio in the basement where pieces are tailored to fit and simple garments are designed. This comprehensive facet of “Off

Broadway” further separates it from its competition and allows Lynn Dell and her team to meet every customer’s most detailed need, even if they need a bit of advice on fashion, glamour and attitude.

The “Off Broadway Boutique” has a Fashion Expert and Personal Shopper on staff ready to offer any client exclusive fashion advice while enhancing every look, and now, given Lynn Dell’s intent to offer splendor to women across the globe, the on-site staff of Fashion Experts and Personal Shoppers will take can advise any woman anywhere via www.boutiqueoffbroadway.com. This exclusive aspect of the company’s website is an extension of Lynn Dell’s ever-present desire to usher beauty into all women’s lives. In the words of one loyal customer, “It’s as if your personal shopper and fashion expert eavesdropped on my fantasies and found this special place for me!” – Sharon Adams, New York City.

With fashion finally referencing the by-gone days of ubiquitous glamour and endless

sophistication it is the entrepreneurial likes of Mrs. Lynn Dell owner of “Off Broadway,” New York's most glamorous trend-setting boutique for 40 years, who find themselves among the

remaining pillars of high fashion. Lynn lives her life in the fascinating world most of us only see from afar; her eye for originality, unduplicated by any other fashion maven in the business, marks her view from the inside; she is a recognized fashion expert, serving as fashion commentator at hotels and benefit shows while she still, after all this time, truly “lives every moment to the fullest.”

In addition to hosting a successful television show for 10 years, she produced and directed weekly fashion shows at New York' fabulous Tavern on the Green and Grand Hyatt Hotel. Millions also saw her on top-rated nationally syndicated TV shows such as “Oprah” and “Regis and Kathy Lee,” and heard her inspirational lectures on the radio and even of luxury cruise ships. She has owned and operated five highly successful boutiques including the first to open in New York's world-renowned Lincoln Center area, which changed the face of Manhattan's Upper West Side.

For Lynn, it is her relentless focus on the unwavering aspects of womanhood that have allowed her to avoid passing trends and create stunning design concepts “for women just like [her] who gain and loose weight regularly.” It is this rare and innovative mentality that lent itself to her original creation, the “One Size Fits Most Collection” that has been a best seller in her boutique “Off Broadway” since the late 1980s.

Owner

Lynn Dell “The Countess of Glamour”

Lynn believes that all women, regardless of size or shape, should not only feel confident in their clothes but also in their bodies and she strives to create a look and feel that accomplishes such a feat. “Her designs have been a mainstay in setting fashion trends from Manhattan to the Hamptons for over three decades,” boasts one enthusiastic client.

Lynn’s expertise is reinforced by her travels throughout the world in search of the new, the unusual, and the one-of-a-kind designs for her thousands of customers; Lynn is the epitome of the woman who lives life to the fullest. Admittedly, the initial pull to “Off Broadway Boutique” is the versatility of their collections but it is Lynn Dell’s personal proclivity for opulence that truly influences her clientele for almost 40 years which has helped maintain her boutique’s place as “the longest running show on Broadway.”

STYLE SAYS „ONLY ME‟ ”

The Countess of Glamour Sizzles in The Block Magazine

Time Out New York

Vogue Japan - Translated by “Google Translate”

Ari first met Lynn on the streets of New York some time ago. After the Advanced Style article in The New York Times he was

again put in touch with this fabulous woman, owner of “Off Broadway Boutique”, a store on the Upper West Side and a very

glamorous location. Of course our curiosity was piqued by the store’s description, “a playground of style”, but it was Lynn’s

passion for bringing out her customers’ inner movie star that had us spending all afternoon playing dress-up in a collection of

over 40 years of new or vintage clothing and accessories.

When I walk into the shop on a sunny afternoon, Lynn is sitting in a full floor-length costume at a makeshift vanity in the center

of the room. She turns her head with a huge smile and generous wave, somewhat like what she would have done in the days

when she was a Rockette. (later, when we walked out into the street, she actually did a high kick, which I’m practicing

according to her lesson).

She asks us to take a seat while she introduces her staff of over 20 years…“Let’s show them… at 39 you can look sensational!”,

she says with a wink.

Her look is more pronounced with age, she says “I got more confident as I got older, and dared to wear more.” A casual look is

brightly colored pieces with “flou”, accessorized to the maximum. “If you can travel easily with it, it’s casual.”

Lynn says she personally doesn't do casual…

“We dress for the theater of our lives! Who wants to wear jeans?!”

I wanted to know what Lynn would say about luxury, since these days eveveryone is so fixed on defining it. “You don’t need

luxury to have style…accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative! Don’t be proud of fat, just dress for your body…. If I’m

doing my thing, I’m wearing my easy knit pieces with gold and sequins any day of the year. But you won’t see me wearing a

big straw hat inside.”She is, however, taking kindly to wearing large framed sunglasses indoors. Lynn first discovered how to

be stylish watching movie stars like Lana Turner and Ginger Rogers on the silver screen. I asked her what items every woman

should have as they mature and “advance” with style:“A woman should just have MORE of everything… more lipstick, more

hand cream, more clothes..”What really resonates, though, is her insistence that without poise and good posture, a woman

cannot look glamorous. It helps me believe this is the real deal when her husband makes a brief appearance, and tells me he

prefers when she’s in “happy colors”. At which point we change into a brighter look…

Off Broadway Boutique” makes these flower petal hats especially for their customers (Roberta Flack walked in as we were

chatting, and Elizabeth Taylor’s signed picture is on the wall)… Lynn prefers this look “for the Opera”.

Later on, she suggests we make a re-do of the jacket I am wearing, but in taffeta. Lynn is also a designer at heart

One of the best things we do together during this visit is try on all of Lynn’s favorite jewelry. She has pieces you’ve only seen

in the movies mixed in with faceted lucite chokers (which she dresses me in over a nylon sack-like one-piece) and macramé

chest plates (that are seriously chic, Rodarte style).

Lynn’s talent is not only in knowing what’s good for the right figure, its also in coordinating the right jewelry. I learn through

trial and error (in the deco mirror) that large round drop earrings are not good with a turban, you’re better to stay close to the

face with dramatic chunky studs. “It’s a finished look…. Try walking into a room with a headpiece and not getting the attention

you need.”

I also compliment Lynn on her amazing manicure, which appears to have a lifetime of nurturing…

“These are mine, honey!”If you’re looking for a pick-me-up, or want to play dress-up with the Countess of Style, I suggest you

visit Lynn at her shop. She is an absolute delight and can teach every one of us a thing or two about finding the glamour within
