Very friendly staff, lots of clothes at good prices and also lots of shoes. I wish they had a larger plus size section but at least what they did have was well labeled. I found some good gems!

Friendly staff, great selection. There’s also an excellent affordable tailor. I needed a last minute dress to wear to a wedding. I got a gorgeous ball gown with pockets here and got it tailored, all under 24-48 hours. Really special place!
