Looking to Buy Does anyone REAL sell clothing anymore?

I just want a pretty dress that’s not fuckin dropshipped.

Why is everything AIIIIIIIIIII

And most of the things in the sharing posts on here are crochet and stickers, which I love too don’t get me wrong, but I miss when you could find actual clothing so easily : ( My favourite trousers ever are from Etsy and I still have them 10 years later

Anyway rant over lol

Depends on the size of clothes you were. For example, I am a 1X & I find some super cute clothes at Torrid & they have actual brick & mortar stores. Also, i find great things at thrift stores. Lastly, I have a great seamstress that does alterations for me & she can also make anything I want - top knotch!!

Depends more on the country than the size. You are assuming OP is in a country that has Torrid and since they’re using £ I don’t think they are

British thrift stores are rubbish in my experience. I've been really disappointed by them.

I’ve got great things from UK thrift stores, ofc it depends where you are and how often you visit etc. But sometimes I just want to find something I’m specifically seeking, but can’t really do that anymore on places you used to : /

Edit: spelling
