Items We Accept
We are a specialty store that focuses on plus and mid size clothing in the Upper Cumberland. It’s our mission to provide a great shopping experience to our shoppers, so we have some strict policies on what we can accept.
We accept women’s clothing size large and up. Additionally, we also accept bags, jewelry, and accessories. We no longer accept most scarves, shoes or any men’s clothing.
We only accept items that are in great condition, and absolutely no items with pet hair or anything that appears to be pet hair. There are many shoppers that have allergies to cats and dogs, and we want to provide a safe shopping experience for everybody. Please thoroughly check your items in good light for stains, because we cannot accept stained items. We reserve the right to turn down any items that we don’t feel are a good fit for our sale.
Please read the full details about what we can and can’t accept below.
Clothing
- Any women’s size large and up. Sizes 3X and larger are desperately needed, so if you know anybody that has these sizes, please put us in touch.
- Size 12 and up in pants and dresses
Costume & Everyday Jewelry
- We accept costume, everyday, or other jewelry that is not high end. We are unable to accept high end jewelry at this time
Very Few Types of Shoes
- Very few shoes will be accepted due to overwhelmingly low demand. If you have a pair that you believe is special or that there would be a high demand for, please email us to confirm before bringing it in.
- Shoes that we do choose to accept must look like they have never hit the ground. We check the bottoms of the shoes for dirt, the inside for toe or wear impressions, and the outside for scuffs or signs of wear.
Accessories
- We accept most bags, jewelry, hats, wallets, belts, and other accessories in our sale.
Seasonal Items
- We will accept seasonal items year round. However, due to limited space, we may not put items out until the related season.
- For items that are accepted but not yet put out for sale, the 120 day discount plan and stock timer does not begin until they are put out for sale.
- For example, if a consignor brings us shorts in December, we may tag them with an in-stock date of April 1st. They will then be stored until the right time for them to be put out for sale. The shorts would not experience any price reductions until May 1st.
Bras & Swimsuits
- Bras and swimsuits are accepted, but they must be in like-new condition.
- Please expect us to be extremely selective when it comes to these items.
- There is year-round demand for swimsuits, so please bring them to us any time of the year.
Lingerie
- Lingerie is only accepted if it is new. We understand that some lingerie may be new without tags, so please let us know if that is the case when you drop off these items.
Formal Dresses
We accept formal dresses size 12 or size large and up with no size cap.
Wedding dresses, pantsuits, skirtsuits, blazers, button-up or button-down shirts, or dress jackets with a few exceptions.
- Unfortunately, we have made the decision to no longer accept these categories of clothing due to low demand and limited space.
- Some exceptions are made for unique items and the following brands: Torrid, Lane Bryant, Catherine’s, Maurice’s, Hot Topic, and Shein.
Anything with shoulder pads
- We have made the decision to no longer accept items with shoulder pads due to low demand and limited space.
Specific Types of Elastic Waistband Pants
- Unfortunately, we have made the decision to no longer accept this category of clothing due to low demand and limited space.
- Some exceptions are made for unique items, but most will not be accepted
Examples of what we cannot take:
High-end Jewelry
- We ask that you do not bring us high-end jewelry as we do not have the skills to authenticate it properly.
Most Types of Shoes
- Very few shoes will be accepted due to overwhelmingly low demand. If you have a pair that you believe is special or that there would be a high demand for, please email us to confirm before bringing it in.
- Shoes that we do choose to accept must look like they have never hit the ground. We check the bottoms of the shoes for dirt, the inside for toe or wear impressions, and the outside for scuffs or signs of wear.
Men's Clothing
- Unfortunately, we have made the decision to no longer accept men’s style clothing for the time being. We were unable to attract enough people shopping for these items.
Underwear
- We do not accept any underwear
- If something you are bringing us has underwear that is part of the set and the set is new, we may be able to accept it if it is feasible to hold the underwear at the front counter until the time of purchase.
- If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us
Items in less-than-ideal condition
- Maintaining a great quality sale is important to us. Therefore we do not accept items that are not clean, excessively wrinkled, have pet hair, are stained, or have holes.
- Please only bring items that are in great condition.
