consignment for adult clothes?

Mrs.Reem

Has anyone tried to consign adult clothes? Are there any stores around?

I assume clothes for adults don't sell well on craigslist, or am I wrong? 

I literally am ready to get rid of 3/4 of my clothes. I don't mind sending most of them to goodwill, but there are a few name brand sweaters, dress pants etc. that I have a hard time not getting *something* out of.

You could try Plato's closet if they're not too "mature". Otherwise, I think Barbara's Consignment is still in business. It's on Hickman, just east of Merle Hay, west of Hillis Elementary.

I think there is (haven't been to the area for a while) an adult consignment store in the strip mall on University near 86/22, that has Joann's, El Monterrey, and Babies R Us in it.  Near the end, by the Thai restaurant.  Not sure of the name.

I have taken stuff to Barbara's for years.  Everything has to be pressed and on hangers.  They look over everything and then give you what they reject.  Sometimes I don't always get why they reject the things they do especially after looking around the store at the other merchandise.  I was more selective in what I took - my better labels.   In the past I have been content with what I received.  More recently I have been disappointed in the the check I have received however.  I don't blame the store, but it makes it less enticing to get the iron out to spruce things up and drive all the way over there.  My SAHM wardrobe isn't really worth consigning. I have maybe 10 items I would like to consign but may just take the tax writeoff instead.

 Good luck!

My mom recently compiled an Excel list of local consignment stores and their info. It doesn't say what they consign, but it's a good-sized list with contact info. If anyone wants it, send me an email (my screenname here at hotmail dot com).  I have consigned at stores in Ames (Miss Meyers & the Loft) but haven't tried any of the DM ones.
