The Hourglass Boutique 1749 State Road, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223

"To be so honest I never knew this place was here or existed for plus size women.. I actually went to the Dollar Store a couple Doors Down and my cousin went to this particular Store The Hourglass Boutique and when I came out she was still in The Hourglass Boutique so I went into the boutique my daughter and myself. Talk to the employee that was there very nice employee she actually said they've been there for about 6 years in that particular location which I was in all because again I never knew it was there but they have very nice things they go all the way up to a size 5X my daughter actually got a nice little coat out of here and she's been wearing it ever since it is a nice coat. Within speaking to the employee they also have nights where they go on Facebook and they auction off brand new items that come into the store I believe it's Wednesday nights and you can bid on these come into the store try them on and you're not committed to buying it if you don't like it once you try it on then you don't have to purchase it the next person in line with there for be the one that comes in and do the same thing as what you did which I think is really really neat because you're not committed to that auction. All in all I do recommend this place highly recommended place if you are a plus size woman I highly recommend it they go all the way up to a 5x nice nice store nice items beautiful clothing accessories try it!"

"I want to preface that I’ve only been one time, not sure if I’m interested in coming back or not. I will say, the shop itself is fairly cute with the way it is set up. I did also appreciate the fan in the dressing room. I typically have low expectations for consignment shops, especially plus sized ones. The shop itself seemed clean, but I came across many dirty clothing items for sale. I specifically remember a top with lots of stains and dirt marks on it. Despite it being dirty, the top was still marked around $13. I did find a dress that I wanted to try on. I get into the dressing room, and notice that the dress smelled horribly of body odor. It was so bad that I didn’t even try it on. The dress was from an inexpensive, fast fashion website called Boohoo. Despite being in the “discount” room, it was still priced at $25.99. As a plus sized person, I’m well aware of the markup on plus sized clothing. However, I just find it silly when that markup continues in a consignment or thrift shop. I can see a designer item holding value, or even increasing value, but most of the items here are just regular, off of the rack clothing. Ultimately, the clothing is used, and from what I saw & smelled, some of it is in poor condition. I just don’t think used items should be marked the same price as a lot of new items in other stores are, but perhaps those are just my personal feelings. I ended up leaving and purchasing a brand new dress at Gabe’s for $16.99. I just find going to somewhere like Gabe’s etc, so much more economical than paying something like $25.99 for a dirty, used casual dress. I will say that it looked like they had a lot of formal dresses, so if you’re looking for something like that, it might be worth to check out what they have. I didn’t check the prices on the formal dresses, so I can’t speak on those. There seemed to be a fair amount of outdated clothes, with some more updated pieces mixed in. You can definitely tell some of the stuff has been there for quite sometime, I’m guessing either due to pricing, or it being outdated."

"I love this shop! I thought it was going to be little, but it’s so large inside! There was such a wide variety of clothing from 14 up! The prices are so reasonable. There was ample space to walk around and take a friend if you wanted. The women working there, one of which was the owner, took the time to chat and tell me about the store and offer answers to the many questions I have had. The dressing rooms are darling! Ohhh and there were shoes! If you haven’t been to this gem, you don’t know what you’re missing!!"

"Love this place! They carry everything from bathing suits, to tee shirts and jeans to formal wear and even wedding dresses! Priced very fairly, and the women that work there are so nice! It's like shopping at a friend's house! I am so thankful Hourglass is close to me, feeds my shopping addiction without killing my alley ;)"
