From the reviews

As the Minnesota world reopens, I was in desperate need for summer dresses at the right price. The AMAZING owner Shelby has State dictated orders on the door to help ensure no spread of the Covid. I had my mask, sanitized my hands once inside the shop. This owner was friendly and helpful.

A friendly new clothing store with plenty of items in plus sizes and pretty reasonable seaming prices? Sign me up! the quality seams pretty high and the styles are are casual/eccentric which is right up my alley, i will be back.

I love shopping here. She is such a nice person to visit with, but what I like best is that she markets her store to REAL people. She doesn't hide the large sizes in the back, she accepts all kinds of clothes that are in good condition - not only high class name brands, and she prices the items for what they are; USED.

We come to Bemidji each year for vacation and I never miss this spot to shop for higher end resale. She usually has a good handbag selection at a fantastic price that is gently used. As well as a good selection of brands like Athleta, victorias secret sport, dresses, and shoes. Friendly owner and nice recommendations.
