About Us

Welcome to Dressed to the 9's, where fashion meets passion! I'm Alice Martelli, owner and curator of luxury refined fashion at this unique store. My journey in fashion has always been intertwined with a love for individuality and self-expression, a love I discovered as a child during playful fashion shows with my Barbies, using outfits made by my grandmother.

Growing up in Yardley as the second oldest of seven siblings, I learned the value of hard work and creativity early on. After graduating from Temple University with a degree in Physical Therapy, I spent 15 years working at St. Mary’s Medical Center, while also nurturing my passion for promoting health, fitness, and well-being. This passion extends to my family, including my wonderful husband, Ernie, and my son, Brennan. I also cherish the time spent with my sister, who has Down syndrome and is an inspiration in my life.

The turning point in my fashion journey came during a thrift store trip with my mom. Initially reluctant, I quickly fell in love with the unique, distinctive clothing I found there. This experience opened my eyes to the beauty of consignment shopping, and when the opportunity arose to take over a consignment shop, I seized it without hesitation.

"Don't let things happen. Make them happen."
