Secondhand Curves — Local services in Rockford Township

I had heard from a coworker about this place. I love thrifting, and the thought of a plus size only thrift store intrigued me.

The store isn’t the biggest but don’t let size fool you. It is fully stocked with a collection of the cutest plus size clothing I have ever seen.

The staff is welcoming and the service is on the level you’d expect from expensive boutiques in the city. I had a fitting room started for me while I was shopping complete with a little fam welcoming me in the fitting room when I was ready to try on my haul. A thoughtful touch that had me smiling. (I will say the lighting in the rooms aren’t the best, but it’s more of a preference thing)

The only thing that got to me was that the attendant checking me out kind of just rolled my clothes as she bagged them. I have always been sensitive to cashiers doing this with my clothing. However, I believe it would have been that above and beyond notion that would have set me over the edge never shutting up about this place. Especially because I know they carry some designer items. If I was paying for that quality I would want it handled like I was actually purchasing these items from those designer stores.

I still loved my experience and will still never shut up...

I am so delighted to have found this hidden gem. This little shop holds a extensive selection of fashionable clothing for the curvy girl!

However, what makes this place a five-star experience wasn't the product...it was the amazing service. The staff were available to answer questions and help me select items based on my personal preferences, without being overbearing.

When it was time to hit the fitting rooms, they were gracious and accomodating (I had a shoulder injury at the time, and couldn't zip or button anything on the back, nor get in or out of more fitted clothing). They were professional and treated me with dignity while assisting me. My experience had all the benefits of a high-end, service oriented boutique, but without the exorbitant price tag.

I highly recommend you stop in...

I visited this store for the first time last weekend and it is now on my list of places to go back to again. The store is so cute. Has alot of stuff in a small space but it is organized very well. The woman working had a smile on her face liked she really loved her job. While I shopped we small talked and she was just really nice. I loved that they had alot of stuff in alot of different sizes because as a big chick its hard sometimes to thrift shop. They had clothes, shoes, knickknacks, accessories and jewelry. I picked up some beautiful clothes and a vintage black cat clock from the 50s. Adding this place to my list of stores to revisit next time...
