Store was awesome, selection was badass, staff was very personable and helpful. Now if only those purple pumps would have fit!

I'm shocked that this fairly long standing business in the Short North hadn't been added to Yelp…read moreyet, well.. Until I just added it now. It's connected to the White Castle building, snuggled right near the entrance to the apartments, Penzone, and Orange Theory. They sometimes have mannequins out front to call attention to it but it can be hard to miss. Once inside the staff is incredibly friendly, always providing help and suggestions when needed. The aesthetic of the store is pretty much black and white. I've never seen a lot of color here and when I do, it tends to be more neutral tones. The clothing can be fun and unique or even classy depending on what you're looking for. I will add that it's not very size inclusive. As a size 6 I was having a hard time finding something that was true to size. Overall, it fits nicely in the Short North and prices compare to the other boutiques in the area. It's definitely worth a stop, especially if you are a tiny person that prefers a fairly monochromatic wardrobe.

Any boutique on high street in the Short North that survives 5 years in business, especially the…read morepast 5 years, is probably worth the real-estate-- and that's absolutely true of Vamp Official. It might be my new favorite local clothing spot. I was delighted to stumble upon this woman-owned small business this past weekend (how did I not know about this?!). The woman working the counter I am now realizing may be the owner? And she was incredibly charming, chic, and helpful. A perfect stylistic representation of the store itself and the perfect model to display looks that I assume she is choosing/buying herself! I ended up with a super cute black and white denim skirt covered in crescent moons, and two amazing pairs of retro jeans. Epic 90's beige cargo jeans-- totally utilitarian raver badassery-- and black boyfriend-cut also super 90's jeans that somehow make my legs look super long. I seriously can't wait to wear them everything I bought! I pretty much liked everything I tried on and I got my top 3 faves. If you love neutral colors (they ONLY sell neutrals x3) in fresh, funky and retro styles this is 100000000% your store. I'll be back as soon as I feel like I've waited long enough for them to get a bunch of new stuff in :)

If I lived closer to one of these stores I would definitely attend the store more often. Also for this being the first time I have ever been in one of these stores it is nice how they have discounts for seniors and on other deals.

I stopped into plus size pretty today, and I'm glad I did! I forgot to take pictures (sorry!), but…read moreit was incredibly cute in there. Full of color and fun wallpapers that make the shopping experience fun. The store is sorted mostly by size ranging 14-30+ with the majority of items being towards the middle of that range. There is a separate rack for lingerie/swimsuits/longer items. The majority of clothes on the racks were in season, and they mentioned that the store would be transitioning to fall soon. The fitting room is HUGE! There is plenty of room to try things on, a large mirror to view all the angles, and a fan (hooray)! The star of the shower is truly Angelina! She is not only passionate about her store but passionate about making sure you find something that suits you! She has such a bubbly personality and is so welcoming from the second you enter the store! She also hosts events, so be sure to check her social media for details! I would definitely encourage you to stop in and take a look around!

A beautiful space that specializes in plus-size clothing with larger selections with the most…read moreoptions in the larger spectrum of sizes. It's easy to get to, has an amazingly fun shopping atmosphere, and really feels like the owners behind the place really understand some of the frustrations plus-size people have had with clothes shopping - and tried to mitigate it as best as possible. Honestly, it's really fun to shop here! STUFF TO NOTE: -There's a parking lot right behind Plus Size Pretty. There's also free street parking on both sides of the street. Depending on how busy Broad is, you're looking at less than a block's walk. Tons of space when I parked on a Saturday. -The door to Plus Size Pretty is actually on the side of the building. It looks more like an employee entrance than the front door, so you might be confused at first. Look for the door labeled with their street number 924. -There are multiple chairs inside for easy seating. There are chairs inside with and without arms, and most of them look pretty sturdy. -If I remember correctly there are a few (just one or two!) into the store itself. Everything is flat, one-level once inside. -As far as I could tell, the store carries size 14-30+. The "+" is included, and they do have a section that's small, but there, for sizes over 30. The 14-16 section is probably the smallest. PROS -This place is so PRETTY. Easily one of the cutest clothing boutiques I've been in. It feels bright, welcoming, fun, and colorful. From the bold color choices to the pretty wallpapers and carpets and jewel-toned furniture, shopping here feels like a treat. -The dressing room is gigantic! Like, it's easily 6-8 times bigger than my bathroom at home. It's probably the size of my second bedroom. Tons and tons of space to try on clothing without ever feeling cramped. There are giant mirrors to see how things fit as well as a fan installed on the ceiling for staying comfortable. There are even feather boas in the corner that really make it feel like you're supposed to really be enjoying the experience. (Large, supportive couch and chairs in there too for getting into complicated clothing!) -All the clothing is sorted by size. This makes it really easy to stick with your size. Everything is really well organized and in its place too. I didn't see anything in the wrong areas. -All the clothing is pretty in-season. It's March, and there are no coats and sweaters out. Just like a standard clothing retailer, they've swapped over to lighter fabrics and swimsuits. There's a small section for formal outfits too, and I picked up a beautiful red evening gown for dirt cheap. (Okay, no real events to go to anytime soon, but when you find something that makes you feel like a million bucks and costs virtually nothing, you buy that!) -They also sell shoes (wide widths!), jewelry, tights, and more. You can get your accessories here alongside some new outfits. -The staff member here was sooooo helpful when I came out of the dressing room looking for opinions. They had so many compliments for me, and we talked about my body (and how it fit in the clothing) in non-destructive terms. Clearly, they were quite used to a lot of it, but it was really refreshing to not have someone comment on cellulite or shapewear. CONS: -I'd love to see more selection. That's, honestly, about it. However, the selection they DO have is in-season, current styles, and in good shape. I'd much rather see a slimmer selection that's great (which it is here!) than weed through a larger selection that's worse.

I hadn't noticed it, anyway, and the regular J Crew store is in the big mall. It's smaller than I expected, and didn't have a huge selection. Nice enough, split into men's and women's, with kids' stuff in the back corner. No one offered to help. Prices are, well, maybe lower than their regular store but more than I wanted to pay (though I would have, if they'd had what I needed.) I'll keep it in mind as a possibility, but I'm not really their target customer.
