April's Voluptuous Resale

I stopped in for their Grand Opening and fell in love with this sweet little shop, talk about a trendy, cute, classy resale store. The owner and staff are very nice and personable. Finally a resale shop that caters to the voluptuous women with cute styles like the small girls wear only in large sizes for the more womanly body. Sizes range from 12 on up. They also have a phenomenal selection of shoes, boots, hats, jewelry, belts, scarves etc. The resale items here are of quality, with great prices as well. April??s Voluptuous Resale is open 7 days a week, which I love. I can stop in and grab a cute outfit for any occasion. I'm a firm believer in recycling and buying used, so this resale-clothing store appeals to that side me. This is definitely a resale shop worth checking out over and over again.
