Making Waves — Local services in Cape May

The long- and short-sleeve Comfort Color shirts Making Waves uses are factory seconds (look for the black Sharpie line on the size tag).

The next day they went in & thought maybe it would be a better experience, but instead they were told to leave the store & that they weren’t welcome for “lying”. Said they got “8” people to leave a review when the four people who experienced it were the only ones who left the review lmao. It’s just unprofessional & rude. Very cute stuff but there’s so many other cute shops in Cape May with a much...
