The Plus Closet

I had been looking forward to the grand opening of The Plus Closet since October, when I first heard that plus-size influencer Shannon Clemmons was collaborating with a seasoned business-owner to transform a vintage store into a PLUS-SIZE secondhand store. This place does not disappoint! There was a great selection of lots of different types of clothing, from formal dresses to workout sets to outerwear. There were brands I knew, like Eloquii, Ava & Viv, and Torrid, plus some I didn't know yet.

My greatest surprise and delight happened in the fitting rooms, which are both equipped with fans!! This is clearly a space imagined by fat people for fat people (if you know, you know). I can't wait to see how the collection of clothing evolves once they start buying from the community next week. Even though the location is a little bit out of the way for me, this will definitely be a regular stop because it fills a niche that literally didn't exist in Nashville. I love that I'll be able to try clothes on in person instead of relying totally on online shopping and the sad in-store plus options offered at many big box retailers.

This is a fantastic space! lots of clothing options. I saved money too since it's a 2nd hand shop. The owners, Julie and Shannon give great styling advice, I highly recommend.
