Team Chipmunk is listed here as "children's clothing" -- but they have much more than that! This…read morebusiness also sells womens' dresses and other accessories. This review is for the adult ladies' dresses. These dresses are *handmade* in small batches, using upcycled/vintage/sustainable fabrics. I put in all those slashes because I think the key here is that the fabrics are not new-off-the-mill-from-who-knows-where, and the owner looks for fabric sources that fall into her value set for the company. Anyway. Yes, handmade dresses. The patterns are fairly simple, but timeless. I sew, and these dresses are probably within my wheelhouse to make... nothing too complicated, just pretty and easy for summer. Even though I *could* make them, I'm happy to purchase this kind of quality from Team Chipmunk (I prefer sewing quilts to clothes anyway). I won't say these dresses are constructed and finished to a couture level. The seams are mostly finished with a serger, with bias tape finishes in hardworking areas like the armpit. Proper hems, that kind of thing. These (summer) dresses are faced, but not lined. Buttons, not zippers. My point here is that the effort is exactly what it needs to be to keep these pieces affordable and accessible. You'll still get great construction features like darts and pleats, sometimes pockets. The two dresses I chose are made from African prints. The cotton is light and thin, but still has a bit of body to it so it holds those pleats amazingly well. It doesn't feel like it'll stick to me if I get sweaty. The pattern pieces were cut with the print in mind; the fabric design features compliment the cut of the dress. I have a feeling I'll be wearing these dresses constantly. One of them is the perfect "dress up or down" piece. I am wearing it right now, actually, with a blazer over it and it looks totally work-appropriate. I could also wear it to a casual picnic. Or, I could wear it in the winter over thick tights and boots. It's that versatile. One of my recent goals is to cut down on my clothing. I want fewer, higher quality pieces in my wardrobe, and I'm willing to pay for them (the secondary industry for second-hand clothing, especially as an export product of the US, is really scary!). Anyway, Team Chipmunk fits into that goal really well. Plus these classic dress shapes fit my body really well. And my wallet really well. Win-win-win. Pro-tip: because the dresses are handmade, there will be some variances in sizes. Each piece is unique. Try on everything. Team Chipmunk is well on its way to 5-stars. This is a company worth checking out, supporting, and following as they continue to develop. I look forward to seeing the shop evolve. Right now they are very much focused on building the buzz and sewing clothes (as they should be). The shop itself will only improve with time. For example, the changing area is a little awkward and sparse. The inventory is a little light when comparing to a conventional apparel store, but Team Chipmunk is not conventional. They can't just order in their inventory, so stop in often and see if something is right for you! Oh, and I'll definitely be back to pick up some cute outfits for my little twin niece and nephew! The ladies' dresses are a bit limited, but the kids clothing area is very abundant.

She was attentive and listened to everything my daughter wanted while also making suggestions that made all the difference. She made our entire experience feel so special and personal. Although we did not buy a dress at Luxe (another dress just inched out the fav at Luxe) I can not say enough about the shop and our stylist, Faith. If you are looking for a stylist that is attentive and genuinely cares about making you feel your best, I highly recommend you book an appointment with Faith at Luxe Redux.

Thank you so much for an enjoyable first bridal gown shopping experience!

I'm shocked that this fairly long standing business in the Short North hadn't been added to Yelp…read moreyet, well.. Until I just added it now. It's connected to the White Castle building, snuggled right near the entrance to the apartments, Penzone, and Orange Theory. They sometimes have mannequins out front to call attention to it but it can be hard to miss. Once inside the staff is incredibly friendly, always providing help and suggestions when needed. The aesthetic of the store is pretty much black and white. I've never seen a lot of color here and when I do, it tends to be more neutral tones. The clothing can be fun and unique or even classy depending on what you're looking for. I will add that it's not very size inclusive. As a size 6 I was having a hard time finding something that was true to size. Overall, it fits nicely in the Short North and prices compare to the other boutiques in the area. It's definitely worth a stop, especially if you are a tiny person that prefers a fairly monochromatic wardrobe.

It might be my new favorite local clothing spot. I was delighted to stumble upon this woman-owned small business this past weekend (how did I not know about this?!). The woman working the counter I am now realizing may be the owner? And she was incredibly charming, chic, and helpful. A perfect stylistic representation of the store itself and the perfect model to display looks that I assume she is choosing/buying herself! I ended up with a super cute black and white denim skirt covered in crescent moons, and two amazing pairs of retro jeans. Epic 90's beige cargo jeans-- totally utilitarian raver badassery-- and black boyfriend-cut also super 90's jeans that somehow make my legs look super long. I seriously can't wait to wear them everything I bought! I pretty much liked everything I tried on and I got my top 3 faves. If you love neutral colors (they ONLY sell neutrals x3) in fresh, funky and retro styles this is 100000000% your store. I'll be back as soon as I feel like I've waited long enough for them to get a bunch of new stuff in :)

Sadly, the thrift store is in the midst of a constant identity crisis. Is it a shoe repair shop? Is it a place to buy used wedding dresses? Is it a thrift store? It's all a little confusing. Also, there is so much stuff crammed into the tiny shop, it is tough to make sense of it all. All that being said, this is still an essential stop on the Fifth Avenue thrift shop hop.
