They've had a bunch of different owners, and the organization/quality of the shop definitely changes depending who's running the show, but this is what I've learned from shopping here: 1) clothes organized by color makes it much easier to find good stuff, 2) discount days are great, and 3) being able to sell your old clothes is great! Plus, they have a pretty cool name, imho. Well worth a look!

I brought it back to return and the worker told me they have a no refund policy and pointed to a sign I didn't see when I checked out. I showed the worked the stain and said, don't you have a no stain policy? The worker said no, it's your responsibility to fully check over the item before purchasing. That sure would have been nice to know BEFORE I bought anything! I can't even donate these pants to the Salvation Army because THEY have a no stain policy. I will never shop here again. You can get higher quality items at free clothing closets. Save your money.

Everything is nicely organized and prices are fair! dresses, sweaters, denim, purses, etc. I didnt end up getting anything. the employee that assisted me noticed I tried something on that looked nice on... so she put it on hold for me. :-) From reading around, this place is the former saks thrift ave.... but had to change the name after 9 years when the lawyers came knocking but no harm to either parties :-) stop in there if youre in the area and if you like fashion and is frugal!

I was in Vermont for a wedding and decided to walk around the village of Wilmington. The town is…read morequaint and has all the charm you would expect in a small Vermont hamlet. What I didn't expect was a top-notch consignment store, but The Fashion Plate is just that! The interior is quirky as the store is in a historic colonial home, but that made the shopping experience all the more unique and fun. The prices are very reasonable and there is a wide-range from designer to accessible, every day pieces. There are also clothes and accessories for men, children, pets, and the home. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but they also gave me the space to browse without feeling pressured to buy, which for me is a major plus. I spent about 45 minutes browsing and trying on items so I would suggest giving yourself time to really explore the entire store--as one reviewer noted there is a lot to see (but I did not think this was an issue--more treasures to find!). My haul from the Fashion Plate included a vintage Chanel necklace, Chanel cashmere gloves (odd buy in July but winter is coming--haha), Lanvin ballet flats, deadstock Gucci blooms purse, Chanel wedges (I ended up wearing these to the wedding), a Henri Bendel backpack, a cool painting, and a pair of Chanel cambon ballet flats. They only stock authentic items (they explained their rigorous authentication process) and I appreciate that commitment to not selling replica goods. There was so much more to tempt me! I will certainly be back to shop this fun boutique.

Famous last words... "I'm just going to stop in Wilmington to get syrup."…read more Three dresses, two skirts, one top and $132 later ($135 if you count the $3 ATM fee from the liquor store across the street. Cash only folks)... turns out going to Wilmington for syrup is a lot like going to Target for toothpaste. Who knew such a fashion mecca could exist on the outskirts of a forest? Seriously, the owner's buying game is on point. I think I walked into the dressing room with at least 40 items. None of which would be useful for a weekend of camping. But all of which were great brands, new or basically new, ridiculously cute and so reasonably priced. But don't worry. I also got my syrup. Let's hope I don't spill it on all my new fashion finds.

I can't believe that there aren't any pictures posted on here yet. If a flea market was to go into…read morea warehouse building this is what it would look like, some booths are just a bunch of bins to pick through, some are a table of dollar items, some want insane prices for unpractical items. The discounts for stuff are a little confusing, it doesn't say any where but you need to pay in cash to get the discount that is posted in the booth OR you can get a dealer discount (10%) but then they charge you a % markup on your card... Pretty confusing when you are checking out, i guess best to bring cash. There are items in here that have been in here 2-3 year and stuff that will sell the same day it comes in. Plan to spend 2 hours to walk through, they close at 4 PM and remind you about 20 times from 3 to 4 that is the case. Really really unpleasant people to deal with up front, so if you are on the fence about going and dealing with a sour puss, skip it.

They had some interesting items, but not really competitive with other shops like we found in Antique Alley (New Hampshire) or on Route 101 (New Hampshire).

Being antique dealers we certainly know how to pick. Will return to Route 1 (Maine) and elsewhere for what we need.
