The Gift Shop by Brightside — Local services in Baltimore

I was shopping there this afternoon. I saw a dress I liked and saw a girl go into the fitting room before me with no issue. I waited for her to finish and went in there after. There was no sign or anything. As soon as I take off my top off, the sale associate said she has to check if anything was left, I told her I was in my bra and she said she still had to come in. I put on the dress all sideways so I’m not standing in my bra as people walk by. She looks under the shirt I had put on their chair and under the chair saying she had to check under there, as if there was literally anything I was hiding under the chair to steal. It was the most rude experience I ever had and saw that the women before and after me did not get hassled. Maybe it’s because I’m a woman of color. Awful experience. If you want someone to wait for an associate before stepping in the dressing room, put a sign up. Or treat all the customers consistently. Or don’t come in when I say I’m in my bra....

Success is to live your life with intergrity and to not give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you're not. Success is to be honest and to contribute in some way... Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someonelse's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path then by all means you should follow that.

Brightside is like a one big Mardi Gras but instead of showing your boobs (or show your boobs idc) show people your style and if they like what they see you'll have more confidence than you'll know what do with.

AND YES I JUST TWEEKED AN ELLEN SPEECH. I love you Christie and the boutiques you have...

I came here on a day out with friends. The people working there were friendly, but I ended up waiting outside while my friends shopped because the shop didn’t carry anything in my size (which is usually a US 16 or XL/XXL). Definitely not an inclusive store sizing-wise, so it was very uncomfortable place to be in since my friends could find clothes in their size but I couldn’t.

So disappointed because there were a lot of clothes that I did like but did not accommodate my size. If you’re plus-size, you’ll probably only be able to buy accessories/jewelry here. The only sizes I saw...
