It's time for Racked Dallas' first Indie 18, our annual list of the city's best independently operated clothing and accessories boutiques. The results on the map here are in no particular order. Got an addition (or a subtraction) to the list? We'll be updating the map next year, so let us know your thoughts in the comments section, or email dallas@racked.com.
