I have a Boutique here in Florida (
lushikcouture.com), but most seem to like inexpensive stores, which is not a bad thing. My daughter just recently purchased a shirt from a certain store the other night. I won't knock them, but what I will say, their clothing is not for women with extra curves. I say that, because the material is not of good quality. After a few washes its faded or rips! But on the bright side, cheap priced clothing will get you to where you need to go and you can look reasonable if you put it together correctly.
Have you ever stood behind someone or noticed someone wearing a garment and you can easily spot where they purchased it from? Usually the fabric is so thin that you can see every dimple and thongs the woman is wearing. I believe that this is where this new trend started with the mesh. Women are embracing that see through look! I'm pretty sure men are too!

Now this where I flip the script! I was talking with a friend (male) and we were discussing fashion. He told me that he always loved taking me out or seeing me, because I was always put together. He stated that he went on a date with a young lady and he was thrown off the whole date, because she didn't look the part. He took her to an expensive restaurant and he was dressed to the nines, but she had on a very cheaply made sundress. Of, course I was pissed, because I was thinking, maybe that was all she had. He said no! And Corrected me before I could say anything. He stated that she had a job making over $80,000 per year. No children in the home. They all are grown. It's just her. She travels all the time etc etc. He stated that she felt she didn't need to spend a lot of money on clothes. His plea was, when you go on a date, your job is to make a great first impression. He shouldn't be walking you through the door and look down and actually see your butt cheeks and thongs. We got to have taste and class. I understood him more when he explained. It's okay to buy what you can afford, if its Rainbow or whomever.
What I do, I have a few outfits that are not that expensive that I got from Bealls Outlet (b4 i opened my store). If i'm going on a date, I have a few dresses that are expensive, some I paid full price, others I got on sale and I wear that. Of course I change it up with accessories!
Men are visual and trust me they do know quality and they know fraud as well.
As a boutique owner its very important for me to choose clothing that's of good quality. We have to show our little girls how a woman carries herself at all times. When you have more weight or hips it stretches the fabric. Remember that when choosing to purchase garments.
