| - Do not even think about setting foot in this store. I made the mistake of doing so, and I deeply regret it. I went into moxie cloth today for the first time to try to find some loose, flowing tank tops. Their window displays always looked cute, so I figured I'd give them a try. I walked in and was greeted by the female owner. I tried to make chit chat about how I'd never been in before and how nice the store looked, but she ignored me. I browsed around for some tank tops that looked my size (for reference, i'm a size 14 or XL: the national average). She went on to talk to a thin customer and help her pick out a dress, gushing about how beauuutiful the customer was and which dress would be comfortable and cute. I was looking alone, and the male owner came up to me and said, "Looking for a dress?" I held up my tank tops and said "No, I need some tank tops for Pride this weekend." He said, "Oh, well we have some dresses that you might fit into. They're oversized." I wanted to throw the clothes in my hands down and walk right out, but I was determined to have something cute to wear. I turned down his dress suggestion and he walked away. As I went to try on the clothes, more women came in, and I could hear the owners greeting them and gloating about how wonderful they were at their jobs and how they always want the customer to feel beautiful inside and out, which I scoffed at in my dressing room. They made comments about other customers' bodies like "Oh she won't fit in our leggings, she's a size 18." and "Wow that would look so great on you! You have the body for it." I tried on my tanks, which were too long and would make me look like I wasn't wearing any shorts, and left the dressing room. Feeling awful, I looked around one more time while continuing to be ignored by the owners, who were kissing the tush of every thin woman in the store. "Oh, I take the customer through the whole
experience," declared the female owner to a thin customer. "I wait outside the dressing room! I want you to feel beautiful!" I marched out of there before I could barf everywhere. These people are heinous and rude, and even thin women should avoid this place. I have never felt so belittled in my life, and I sincerely hope none of you have to go through that experience at this location. Just skip it.
