Marianne

Love this store! Very cute clothes at a cheap price. Are they made cheaply… yes… but you are only going to wear these items for one season. Lots to choose from. The service is horrible, but if you get over that and just try stuff on… you won’t be disappointed.

Marianne’s website claims «chic & stylish apparel for women.» I will agree that the clothes are cute. They’re trendy, and have lots of stuff priced $ 15 – 30, so you don’t feel guilty buying something you might not like next year. My favorite part is that they stock sizes 4 – 24. They don’t have the same clothes in all those sizes, though. S, M & L are on the left, and 1X, 2X & 3x + are on the right. So, if a large is too small, you’re out of luck, or if you liked something on the 2X size, but you’re little, you got nothing. I don’t get why they don’t make fewer things in more sizes, but maybe there’s reason behind it.
The other thing about the clothes is that you get all excited, amass a dozen things to try on, and get into the dressing room, only to find out that the skirt you liked already has a broken zipper, 3 of the 7 buttons are missing from a shirt, and the ones that still have all their parts aren’t proportioned well, so a shirt with the buttons will fit perfectly everywhere but your boobs. So disappointing. It’s hard to find a balance between cheap prices and quality merchandise, but it’s definitely possible. Marianne just needs to find that balance.
