The Spring Sale is for Spring/Summer items only and the Fall Sale is for Fall/Winter items only. All non-seasonal items will be rejected due to lack of space.

    • The tags must be secured with a colored top straight pin preferably with the point tucked back into the garment to avoid snagging other clothing. Safety pins are too difficult to remove, but you should safety pin outfits together so that they don't get separated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE TAPE when attaching tape to non-pin-able items. Masking tape is preferred.
