What's on the racks
“It will remain my favorite local thrift for probably ever.”
“Pricing is the same as other thrifts in the greater Burlington area (around 8 for tops, 9-12 for bottoms), and is way cheaper than all the well known vintage shops in the area.”
What shoppers say again and again
“Karen is a very sweet woman and she puts a lot of hard work in her shop, her clothes are very reasonably priced and you can find a lot of treasures!”
From the reviews
Love going to Karen’s Kloset! I am a size 00-0 or X-small and I always seem to find something when I come in to her store! I’ve also sold clothes and received an amazing amount of $$$ for store credit! She always had amazing brands, deals, and prices!
This is a really good resale/consignment shop. Pricing is the same as other thrifts in the greater Burlington area (around 8 for tops, 9-12 for bottoms), and is way cheaper than all the well known vintage shops in the area. Seriously, if you're looking for vintage, 80s/90s, and even y2k, check out this store!
Best shopping experience I've had. I have a very hard to fit shape, and I do not enjoy anything about shopping. Karen took the time to help me go through the cloths, shoes, and bras, took the time to make sure they all matched, but better yet, I was completely comfortable.
I stop here every time we travel to Vermont! There is so much to see! Karen is always helpful and polite. The selection is great and there are always great deals to be had. The clothing is in great shape, she has an eye for good quality stuff. I never walk away empty handed. If you are a thrifter you HAVE to come here!
Plus size bridal & formal at Karen's Kloset
Karen's Kloset comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
