Clothing
We sell children's clothing Newborn through size 16.
Be selective. Shoppers want current and clean items.
Be in season. Our Spring Sale is for Spring & Summer clothing only. Our Fall sale is for Fall & Winter clothing only (what your child would wear between October-March).
Be Clean. No stained clothes. Look at your clothing items as if you were going to purchase them. No stained or damaged items will be accepted. Please freshly clean your clothing items.
Damaged Goods don't sell. Replace missing buttons, sew loose hems and seams, and clip loose threads. Please button all buttons, snap all snaps, zip all zippers before you arrive at drop off. This will ensure that there are no defects in the clothing.
Hangers - Please hang clothes so the hanger hook points to the left (like a question mark). Securely attach a tag!
Clothing that falls off the hanger onto the floor does not sell well. Video: How to Hang Clothes
Clothing Sets - Sets tend to sell better (under size 6) so match things up if you can.
Price Appropriately. See Pricing Guide for suggestions.

Hanging Clothing - Put outfits/set together to price for at least $3.00.
Tagging
-
