A Vintage Love Affair
Ashley’s passion for vintage is woven into every thread of her boutique. Her love affair with vintage clothing began with her grandmother’s collection of elegant peignoir sets, which sparked an enduring fascination with lingerie. “There’s an elegance in vintage pieces that’s just unmatched,” Ashley shares. “It’s about feeling beautiful for yourself—a little secret kind of sexy.”
Every vintage piece in Moonlight is meticulously restored by Ashley’s own hand. From 1920s nightgowns to mid-century baby dolls, her collection is a testament to an era when garments were built to last. “Back then, if you got a hole in something, you mended it. The fabrics, the stitching—they were made with care,” she says.
Customers are often drawn to the vintage racks, captivated by the charm and history of the garments. “I love watching people play ‘guess the decade’ with my pieces,” Ashley laughs. “It’s amazing to see how styles have changed while still remaining timeless.”
Where Modern Meets Vintage
While vintage is the beating heart of Moonlight Intimate Apparel, Ashley understands the need for modern convenience and comfort. Her boutique caters to all body types, with sizes ranging from small to 4X and even up to 6X for select items. “As someone who used to be plus-sized, I know how hard it can be to find pieces that fit well and feel amazing,” she says.
Ashley also ensures her prices are accessible, offering high-quality pieces at up to 50% less than chain stores. “Feeling good about yourself shouldn’t be a luxury—it’s a necessity,” she explains. “I want people to leave my store feeling confident and beautiful, like they’ve stepped into their own spotlight.”

A Labor of Love
For Ashley, restoring vintage pieces is a delicate dance of history and artistry. Sourcing items from antique shops and vintage dealers, she painstakingly breathes new life into garments that were once forgotten. “Sometimes you learn the hard way,” she admits, recounting a friend’s mishap with a gelatin-sequined dress. “But it’s worth every moment to see these pieces shine again.”
Moonlight Intimate Apparel is more than a boutique—it’s a portal to the past, a celebration of self-love, and a reminder that fashion is never just about the clothes. As Ashley puts it, “Every piece tells a story. I’m just here to make sure it gets told.”
