A neighbor invited me to attend a Fall Fashion Show at Inge's Fashions last night. I haven't really explored clothes shopping since moving to Great Falls in April 2009.
This is an excerpt from the Great Falls Tribune about the owner, economy, and her store:
The proprietor, Inge Buchholz, said she has noticed more customers head straight for the clearance rack when they enter her store than browse the other areas.
"Since this thing set in, the recession, I do notice people are more price conscious," Buchholz said. "So I'm putting more things on sale and bringing in some products that are still a good quality, but are less expensive."
The bread and butter of Inge's Fashions continues to be the store's mainstays unique women's clothing items, including the only selection of the sizes 4X to 7X in town, and strong customer service, Buchholz said.
"I have a lot of repeat customers," she added.
It was a fun outing with ladies of all sizes and ages (one was 86) modeling very pretty fashionable clothing. I had already decided I would have to go back and do some exploring (and purchasing) when the crowds of women were gone. There was a very good turn out.
Door prizes were being called for floral arrangements and gift certificates. I had my name in the hat, but never even usually get my name called for anything. Well, last night was a first as I won the top prize -- a pair of "Not Your Daughter's Jeans". I don't know much about them and will be going back to Inge's on Saturday to find and fit into my new pair that retail for $100.
All I could hear the ladies at the fashion show talk about was how much Oprah recommended them.
Here are some other important selling points I have found online today:
"Created for real women with real curves"
"A unique criss-cross panel that flattens your tummy, lifts your rear, and makes you look and feel a size smaller" -- SOUNDS LIKE A MIRACLE TO ME!.
I will have to let you know how I feel when I get these babies on.
