Curvy Chic Four-Day Consignment Event!

Thursday 2-8 pm, Friday 10 am-9 pm, Saturday and Sunday 10 am-5 pm, 2505 NW Cornell Road

Pre-sale Thursday, April 28, 11 am ($5 entry fee at the door); Fashion Show Friday, April 29, 7 pm

Although the recession has eased slightly, most people are still watching their dollars carefully. Even so, the arrival of spring also heralds in a feeling of “out with the old, in with the new”, especially when it comes to our wardrobes! Thankfully, Curvy Chic Closet, the largest plus size consignment event in North America, has answered our frugal prayers with their four-day, semi-annual Consignment Sales Event, allowing curvy women to indulge in a new wardrobe without even a smidge of guilt by trading in their own gently-used clothing for a massive selection of outfits and accessories from fellow attendees and more than 25 participating vendors.

If you want to consign your gently-used, size 14/XL-34 clothes, you should register at curvychiccloset.com to receive a consigner number and register for a drop-off appointment.

Attendees can treat themselves to a free fashion show, featuring designers such as ARTTwear, E.G.O.Boutique and Custom Designs, House of Solana, Rue21, and Sonshine Apparel, on Friday, April 29, at 7 pm at the same location as the event.

Curvy Chic Closet’s founder, Becky Jarvis, states “I started Curvy Chic Closet after realizing that there were no plus size consignment events to help women buy beautiful gently used plus size clothing. 65% of American women wear a size 14 and above, yet we are left behind in the fashion industry at traditional brick and mortar stores. I am able to offer amazing shopping under one roof with over 20,000 consigned items (clothing, shoes, jewelry, purses, and accessories) for the plus size consumer.

This exciting extravaganza kicks off with a special pre-sale event. Curvy Chic Closet is joining forces with Camions of Care, a nonprofit organization that supports menstrual hygiene management through the global distribution of feminine hygiene product care packages to women in need. Attendees can bring three non-food donations in exchange for FREE Presale Admission ($5 value). Items needed (and accepted any day) include toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissues, feminine products, shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

Second Edition

Cathy Barber is the winner of the “Stacked Bricks” quilt raffled off at Second Edition for the benefit of the Cedar Mill Libraries! When Cathy came into the shop the next day to claim her prize, she commented, “my quilting friends will be so envious!” The handmade quilt was donated to the library by an anonymous patron. The raffle ticket sales netted more than $400 for the library.
