What started out as an online consignment shop more than a year ago is now giving us fashionistas and shopoholics the latest option (and special offer) to fulfill our desires with a new name and a brick & mortar store location in downtown Raleigh's, Glenwood South.

Dress, formerly PeaceandLoveShopping, is Raleigh's newest Women's designer consignment boutique that officially opened its' doors last week in the Carter Building on 14 Glenwood South, and offers the perfect mix of stylish new & consigned designer label clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories.

The Shopping Memo had a chance to visit with owner, Pam Mullaney, find out the scoop and check out the new store! While browsing the racks of this cozy little shop nestled in a back room, decorated in chic "dress" art accessories, we immediately noticed this Diane Von Furstenberg dress along with this Louis Vuitton handbag and knew it would be the perfect option for highlighting one of the store's many designer labels that are currently available at a fraction of retail cost.



A few other labels you'll find here include BCBG, Parameter, DVF, Trina Turk, Nanette Lepore, Glam, Theory, Michael Kors, Ella Moss and Rebecca Taylor.


Personal shopping, closet cleaning with 50% of consigned selling price, pick up of items, and the donation of unsold goods are a few of the benefits you'll enjoy while shopping at Dress.

If you haven't had a chance to shop Dress of Raleigh yet, doing so this weekend, will definitely help add to your wardrobe and save you some cash! Starting Friday, Jan 23rd, Dress will be having it's first SALE and All Fall/Winter Clothes & Shoes are 20% OFF and if you, mention TheShoppingMemo.com you will RECEIVE an extra 5% OFF your total purchase!

Dress will be open this Friday from 11:30am - 5pm and on Saturday, from 12pm - 5pm. Happy Shopping!
