I have a confession to make: I am an adult woman, and I hate clothes shopping. I hate it. Whenever…read moreI go to department stores or big box stores or frankly 90% of stores that claim to sell women's clothing, I'm disappointed. I'm a big girl--not so much "wide" big (although I could stand to lose some weight), but Russian peasant "built like a brick shithouse" big. Hence, I've learned to associate clothes shopping with disappointment. Even if someone does have clothing in my size, even if we're talking the more expensive stores, most women's clothing is designed with a skinny 15-year-old girl with a delicate frame in mind. When they size that crap up, yeah, it fits me, but I come out of the dressing room looking like Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap, when he lands in the body of some poor schmuck with a pair of tits. Or worse--the designers know that particular frock's not going to cut a good shape on a girl who actually resembles the national average, so they add ruffles or pink leopard print or not-particularly-well-thought-out decorative buttons. Hazel Boutique quite literally changed my mindset about clothes shopping. Here's why: The styles are classically stylish AND they work for someone my age (late 20s). And the stuff they carry fits me, how I carry myself, and how I see myself. They have shirts with roomy shoulders that still remind folks that you're not a lumberjack. They have dresses that are roomy on the bottom and say "Hey, check out this girl's awesome childbearing hips!" rather than the usual "OMG, let's pretend these hips don't exist, and maybe we can pass for normal." The clothing is decorated in its construction more than with baubles added on to dazzle. And it's designed with an eye toward showcasing your figure rather than using you as a vehicle for whatever fashion trend some twit in NYC thinks is the latest and greatest. Yes, it's expensive. But I actually wear the nice clothes I get there. And I enjoy wearing them.

The proceeds go to hospice care so you definitely will feel good anytime you make a purchase. Plus, the ladies that work there are all so friendly and helpful- but not over the top. They let you browse in peace and are always glad to answer questions and help out when necessary. It definitely requires patience and a willingness to dig through things because the store always has a lot of stuff, but it's usually always worth it. I've found great vintage dresses, beautiful African artwork, books, records, pottery and glassware, a gorgeous mid century gold floor lamp for $5, and more. If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in.

Since I was visiting from NJ, that was not happening. As I entered Gondwana, I received a warm welcome & was showered with hospitality. Not only did I find a colorful selection of silk dresses & accessories, I also found the most stylish, comfortable clothing I can live in & feel great about wearing. As a final touch, I received a hand-written note from Jackie thanking me asking if she could do anything else to help assist me. This first-class personable service is hard to find. Shopping @ Gondwana is not only enjoyable, it's an adventure.

Well their clothes are nice and their employees were friendly and helpful. The return policy at…read morethe store is not one that entices the shopper to return. We purchased a sweater that was marked down and on the tag it has sweater VNK PNL hole. I should have realized that meant PIn hole, but did not. The employee did not alert us at the time of purchase. I took the sweater back and gave them a heads up that I would be purchasing something else of much greater value, but they only offered to have it fixed. I understand that was a fairly reasonable offer, but this was a present for someone to be given tomorrow. The manager seems short sighted given the option to make a sale of three times the value, they would rather upset me for $50 and the conviction not to return. Be alert that sale items often have flaws
