Savvy Plus

Nočnica Fee

Savvy Plus is a high-end plus size consignment store. The prices range from $25-30 for cutout items (unsold new stock from other stores) to $200 for new 3XL items from Flax and Anne Taylor. Can you pay less elsewhere? I for one am pretty tired of digging through 100 items at goodwill to find the one thing that might be in my size, and it's $19 and stained. That kind of shopping means you're so grateful for something that fits you don't end up buying the right thing. At Savvy Plus everything fits, or close to, so I'm able to choose my style. And even say 'this fits, it's a good color, I like the style, but the neckline is boxy so I'll get something else. The resale items they have are like-new condition. The dress you see me wearing here is an EShakti piece that had clearly been worn once or never, the same for every other used item. There's no limit on how many items you can try on, they have the owner and a shop attendant who's happy to find you stuff. Feel free to toss stuff out and say 'I want something like this but blue' and they'll usually find you something. The stock is mainly business-casual to formal. Great pieces to wear to the office or an awards ceremony. They were incredibly welcoming to me as a trans woman, and 6'1" and 300 pounds I was able to get a whole new wardrobe. Really great shop, it's the other end of town from me and I still go all the time.

Attention Thrift Shoppers: Don't be scared off by recent reviews about very high prices. I found many tops and skirts between $15-30. Higher than some bargain thrift shops for sure, but typically better quality/condition and worth checking out. Selection: Great. Found 17 items I liked under $30 to try on, more than I typically find even in department stores. Lots of variety. Customer Service: Excellent. I was seldom able to accumulate more than one item I planned to try before a salesperson came to ask if I wanted her to put it in the fitting room for me. Gave good advice when requested. Prices: Yes, some things are outrageously expensive. I almost left immediately after I saw a $300 sweater/shawl that looked to me like it could have come from target. But if you go to the second room they have many reasonable items. Overall: Yes, you might be able to find new items on clearance for similar prices. But I prefer to support a local business and help the environment by reusing clothing.

Simply the best resale/consignment shop in Portland for women of size. I've been shopping here for over twenty years and through two owners. Now, as the shop changes hands again, I am looking forward to the next owner's flavor. The wonderful thing is that even though the shop is now changing hands for the third time, the buyers have always been employees who aren't out to turn everything upside down. A great place to find high end labels at an affordable price.

My mom and I have been selling here for years, Gaia the store owner is super sweet and helpful! I love coming in to check out what they have and usually leave with a great find. Prices are reasonable and they often have sales. My mom has better luck bringing in clothing, she brings minty used clothing mostly from Lane Bryant. I noticed a lot of complaints from others about this store not accepting their clothing. Due to the store being smaller and the demographics they target I think it's fair to say the clothing they are looking for at this store is specific. Depending on season, quality/brand of clothing, and their needs for inventory this store is fair and definitely a place for all size 10+ to check out!
