Sahar visited the very hip boutique Re/Dress NYC exclusively for Madison Plus! Check out her blog below and let us know what you think of this hip boutique!

Re/Dress NYC vintage and resale boutique in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn offers voluptuous women in New York a one-stop-shop for vintage and confidence. Owner, Deb Malkin, celebrated its one-year anniversary in November.  When I sat down with her this week she shared, “even in a soft economy, Re/Dress NYC has been doing remarkably well.”

It’s really no surprise, Deb’s personal frustrations with fashion for plus size women is what spurred her to start Re/Dress NYC , and you can feel it throughout the racks. Before she occupied 109 Boerum, Deb organized seven Fat Girl Flea Markets. Today, Re/Dress NYC is the only boutique of its kind offering women sizes 14+ a one-of-a-kind option from vintage to resale from labels such as Torrid to “only the cute stuff” from Lane Bryant.  I was there just 15 minutes and left with three purses for around $40!  Deb says “you can style an entire Re/Dress NYC outfit for under $100—$50 if you take your time and look for the bargains!” She loves to dress her clients so they walk out feeling comfortable and confident, never pursuing a fashion agenda.

When you’re done shopping, you can throw on your new outfit for an in-store pic that will be displayed. Re/Dress NYC also has indie designer trunk shows and a holistic class with a health every size activist.

A visit to Re/Dress NYC will leave you feeling empowered in your wallet, closet, and heart.
