AS I was reading through this article, I was thinking: gonna go to Zenni optical and check out what frames they have.... as I have been a customer of theirs for a few years now..... and Bang!!! there you are recommending them AND giving a style number... how awesome!!!! These guys are great and if you send through a copy of your script BEFORE you fill it in online, they will help you out with filling it out correctly....

other websites! This made me so happy to read! I wear glasses always and have to resort to frightful squinting every time I have to do anything in costume! I have 2 other EXCELLENT sources of glasses,

www.retrospecs.com based in LA and seem to only sell from the dealership, but well worth mentioning!

and for those in the UK there's http://www.roopevintage.com/ they do mostly retro 50's 60's styles but do have some for the 1880's - 1900/20's eras!
