It is very similar to a classic "naked lady party" (except in a huge venue with lots of people). Folks pack the clothing that they'd like to swap and then take that clothing to the intake table, where sorters work as quickly as possible to sort items into their TYPES (ex, dresses, shirts, etc.) You then take that empty sturdy bag and use it as you walk through the swap to find new-to-you things. It's that simple.

Sizes XS-XL are on the third floor.
Sizes 2XL and up (plus size) are on the second floor.

And feel free to shop on the second and third floors after you drop off your clothing. Shoes and accessories are on both floors.

The swap itself is an honor system, bag for bag policy. You bring home as much as you brought in, using the bag you came in with, plus a little more if you find stuff you LOVE. If you don’t have a sturdy bag to bring to the swap (or you have found so much you don't have room in the bag you brought), you can purchase a reusable bag for $5. 

The most important thing is that THE MORE THE MERRIER. A swap is better with more folks bringing more great stuff, so invite your stylish friends.

CLOTHES MUST BE:

  • Clean
  • Wearable
  • No holes
  • No odors (IF YOU ARE CAUGHT BRINGING IN STINKY, NASTY CLOTHING, YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY IMMEDIATELY).
  • No underwear, socks/ hosiery, or bras (new items still in original packaging are okay)
  • No children's apparel (sorry)

This is an all-ages event, but leaving small children at home is recommended.
