    I love the site I just wish you had larger sizes in your boots.. I wear an 11 and so far I’ve only seen sizes up to 10.

    I’m happy I found this boutique online! They had the dress I wanted that the other online curvy boutique were sold out of! As a online shopper two things I have found very useful on other websites compared to yours was the listing of the models measurements (height, size shes wearing, body measurements… etc.) The fitting is so different on a shorter person than a tall, a smaller bust than a larger and so forth. Secondly, when viewing an item that a model is wearing for example a nice blouse and the model is also wearing leggings, boots, necklace and a vest from the boutique underneath the picture of the blouse or bottom of page a helpful gesture would be “to compete this look” add this vest, boots and necklace with clickable links to each, It really does helps the online buyer in deciding what to buy to compete each online look. I would love to see more jewelry accessories online as well. Love your store nevertheless! :)

    Would love to see more 3x sizes in stock, every time I come to order something I can never get a 3x they are always sold out

    I loved my 1st order. I am disappointed that you are always sold out of 3X. I would have ordered hundreds of dollars but everything was sold out. Would like to see more accessories. It’s hard to find cute trendy plus size clothes that don’t look like they came out of your grandmother’s closet.
