And when it comes time for once-in-a-lifetime nights like Prom and Homecoming, she doesn't want to hide her curvy figure under shapeless muumuus or evening gowns that grandma would wear. She wants a frock that rocks! (And she deserves one!) Six out of 10 American women wear a size 12 or larger. And she should be able to find a dress for a special occasion that makes her look - and feel - as glamorous as a movie star for her red-carpet moment!

I love Refresh (5/5 specifically for their dresses). It's a beautiful secondhand clothing shop in…read moreBrentwood with a great cause!! (Proceeds go to St. Louis's foster care coalition--their HQ is also in this same building). They have a selection of normal clothes -- women's and men's -- on the bottom floor, along with shoes and accessories (earrings and jewelry). But what really stands out is their cute formal dress section on the second level! Perfect for prom, wedding guest, bridesmaid etc. They have floor length dresses for $35 and shorter dresses for $25. They even have a few floor length wedding gowns for brides for $100!! (Plus a section for mother of the bride dresses). I've gotten 2 formal dresses here so far with lots of compliments (wore one on a beachy vacation and another as a destination wedding guest)!! I visited again this week as I thought I'd look for a wedding dress here since they have super affordable options. I didn't end up finding a dress in my size since they only have a few but it was still really impressive they had some in stock at all! And at this price point. There were some beautiful dresses in smaller sizes as well with big princess-like ballgown-style trains. They also accept donations. You can either get a tax receipt or a $5 off coupon! The staff there have also been very friendly every time I've gone!! They have the store decorated currently for their prom season--girls who are in foster care who are accepted into their program get to shop for a prom dress for free! So cool!

**May 2025: Monday Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I wanted to check out the thrift scene in St. Louis, but unfortunately a lot of the charity shops were closed on Memorial Day. I called ahead to see if Refresh had different hours and fortunately, they were open! There's a parking lot behind the building and when I stepped in I was really impressed by how nicely arranged everything was. It definitely gave off boutique vibes and there's a dressing room on the top floor along with many aisles of formal/prom/wedding dresses. The price point for the casual day-to-day items were a little higher than that of a Salvation Army/Goodwill, but everything was steamed and in really good condition, plus all the proceeds are given to St. Louis's Foster Care Coalition (and no tax). The men's section was pretty small, but the women's was really stacked. When I went to the 3rd floor to check out the formal wear it was like a kid in a candy shop. They arranged the formal dresses by size and there were some really incredible finds there. Unlike downstair where everything is priced individually I believe all short dresses were $25 and the long ones were $35, and my guess is that these dresses are left over from their Cinderella project (gifting girls a fairytale prom experience without worrying about money). I think I spent almost 2 hours in the shop and I still didn't get to try everything one, but I was happy with my purchases. One thing to note in the future - I will wear proper spanx/strapless bra to improve my formal dress shopping experience. Otherwise, this charity shop is a fantastic place to support a great mission and treat yourself! It's a win-win!

(Definitely the best way to close out a relaxing day.) The co-owners were so helpful and knowledgeable and kind. This trip was an excursion with my bestie and we came away with several pieces we are both very excited about. The space boasts sizes XL-4x thrift and consignment items. As with any shop on this genre, you have to have a few minutes to cull through the racks. The effort truly paid off for us. We found several unique pieces to add to our personal wardrobes. On trips to more traditional consignment/thrift shops, it's hit or miss if we even find anything at all. We hunt through racks and racks to find anything remotely close to our sizes. And it's another thing all together to find something we want to wear. We felt the prices were reasonable for what we bought. We are looking to visiting again soon to see what other treasures we find.

I placed an order over 14 days ago that still shows processing. When I contacted customer support…read moreabout it all they did was send me a link to their processing and shipping policy. Which, in the policy she sent me it stated that processing was 1-2 business days and shipping was up to 10 business days. However, my order is still in processing after 14 days and nobody is willing to look into the issue further. Also, if you want to talk to an agent on the live chat option, you better be prepared to sit and wait and don't leave that page or your computer. Each time I leave the page for more than a coupe of minutes it ends the chat and I have to start all over again, even though there are 20-50 people ahead of me in queue. It has happened to me 2 time in the past week. Today when I entered the chat waiting room there were 83 people ahead of me and when it got down to 53 people ahead of me I left the page to do some work while I was waiting, I came back in 3-5 minutes and it had ended. When I opened up another chat I was then placed at #99 in queue and am currently toggling back and forth every 60 seconds so I don't lose my spot. I had a similar issue 2 days ago when I tried reaching out. I get it that people are busy and everyone is doing the best they can given the current pandemic, but at least fix your system so that we can at least get assistance. And some agents that are actually willing to look into issues wouldn't hurt either. User's recommendation: Be cautious.

I'm addicted to Torrid and have been shopping here for years. The manager of this location…read morerecognizes me when I come in. I don't know if that's good or bad. Haha. Here's the run down: Torrid used to be the fat chicks answer to Hot Topic. Over the years they have shifted from goth to a more sophisticated style. I wouldn't say slutty, but they celebrate the curves of there clientele. The prices can be a bit high, but if you watch for sales and shop the clearance racks you can get some great deals. The sizing is 0-4. If it is your first time shopping there talk to an associate and they will help you through sizing. The sizing in their clothes is consistent. The quality is excellent. They carry items from accessories such as rings, scarves, etc. all the way to formal gowns when it is the season. Plus size Halloween costumes, lingerie, jeans, coats, etc. I've been personally pleased with everything I've purchased. They even have shoes and boots. (Major plus that with the current style of taller boots their boots have wider calf measurements.) The staff at both locations are always super friendly and amazing. I can't tell you how many times I've come out of a dressing room asking for help or opinions, and received honest opinions. Not just a sales person trying to sell me more stuff. The down side to Torrid: (This is Torrid in general and not related to either location) There are only two locations in the St. Louis area that I know of. Each carried a very different selection of clothing and the shipments each receives are limited in what they receive. They may only receive 1 of each size in a particular item. (Plus is that if you see an item on Torrid.com and call with a description, the stores will pull the item in your size and hold it for you.) There are a large number of "Internet Only" items on the website. The one plus is if you purchase something online and decide to return it, you can return it to the stores, unless it is clearance. All clearance sales are final. It is well posted in the stores and online. Because the stores are not that large (this one being larger than the other in West County Mall) there is a limited selection on shoes. It seems what they have is what they have, in other words there is not a stash in the back. And shoes can take up a lot of room so the shoe area is sometimes a mess. The lingerie, for whatever reason, doesn't fit me the way I would like it to. I don't know if it is the cut or what. The panties are fine. The bras...no way. And the items they call "bustier" and "corsets" are neither. They lack support, have plastic boning, etc. In my opinion...a waste of money. I'm only giving Torrid four stars because of the limited selection of sizes. Again, not the fault of this location, but I'm because they have limited space. Oh, and price because, well...I want everything to be less expensive. If you are a plus size lady looking for anything from jeans and tshirts, to work attire, or a party dress, give Torrid a shot.

Although Cohesion has only been open since September 2018, it is a compelling addition to this shopping strip. Immediately upon entering the store, I was struck by how good everything smelled, as well as the chic yet relaxed style of decor. Heather, the owner, mentioned that the candles are available in store, and shared her plans to branch out into more home accents and decorating items, in addition to the women's clothing and accessories currently offered. As far as the clothing selections, the items are unique and run the gamut from more dress-up dresses to everyday wear and athleisure, with a smattering of-the-moment sweaters and scarves in the mix. On my visit there were a number of cute jackets, including a white parka with an adjustable drawcord collar, and a crushed-raspberry colored velvet blazer. I ended up with a not-so-basic LBD with a lace panel and exposed back zip, and a tie-front striped button down shirt that can be transitioned with the seasons. Inventory changes on a weekly basis, and there are only a few selections of each style available in every size--all the more reason to snap up that favorite piece right when you are eyeing it, because it might not be there the next time.
