Prices run from as low as $1.99 to a dress that sells for $1100.99, while brands run the gamut from Forever 21 to Marc Jacobs. Everything is promised to arrive clean, odor-free, and packaged neatly in a cute shipping box. Blazer, $49.99, BCBG Max Azria; trousers, $23.99, Eva Mendes; tank top ($7.99, Ann Taylor LOFT; shoes, Mary’s own “The top looked like new, and I think for the price — $19.99 compared to $60 retail — it was a good deal. I would’ve probably gone a size up for a more voluminous, boho vibe. The skirt was a little odd at the top since it bubbled out,” she said. These were advertised as pants and the mannequin wore them with a loose fit. I tried them on and they were actually leggings!
ThredUp carries plus sizes and straight sizes and cuts out the work of searching through thrift store racks. You can’t beat finding tops for almost a dollar.
Cons:
It promises to be super sanitary but our Kleenex surprise proves otherwise. The options for plus-size women are outdated and limited. The higher you go in size, the fewer options you have. You only get 14 days to return the clothes for a refund.
It’s a great business concept that will hopefully get better with time. It’s certainly worth checking out if you love thrifting but hate spending hours in thrift stores!
