Keep Calm and Swap On

So how does this thing work exactly? 1. Buy a ticket! Tickets are $15. Once you have a ticket, just bring a of bag things to swap (there's a minimum of 10 but the more the merrier), and you get entrance to the event. Space is limited and tickets will not be sold at the door. 2. Purge your closet of impulse purchases, everything that doesn't fit, doesn't quite work, or just hasn't been worn in a while and bring them to Hillyer Art Space on May 31st for a super fun clothing swap. It's out with your old stuff and in with "new to you," preloved stuff from another stylish lady's closet. 3. Drop off your bag of goodies to swap from 1:00pm - 2:00pm. Women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories are eligible to swap. All items must be in ready-to-wear shape: dry cleaned, ironed, no missing buttons, stains or tears, etc. Bring stuff you would lend to your best girlfriend. All seasons are welcome. But please, spare us the sweatpants, swimwear, undergarments, or workout wear. All items must be checked in by 2:00pm to ensure appropriate time to organize the main shopping area. 4. Go explore the area while we set up! This is a great time to explore the hip Dupont Circle neighborhood by shopping around or enjoying one of the many local establishments. 5. The swapping starts at 2:00pm. Entrance to the swap starts at 2:00pm on the dot and stuff will go fast so don’t be late. You’re welcome to fill your bag (we'll provide them for you) to the brim. The swap will end promptly at 4pm. All items left over at the end will be donated to Goodwill. FAQs: 1. What can I bring to swap? Bring tops, bottoms, dresses, jackets, shoes, handbags and accessories. The items should be current and stylish. The items should be in good condition, with working zippers and no missing buttons, rips or stains. Items should be clean. We will not accept any items with holes, stains, or pilling. Items from ALL seasons and sizes are welcome. 2. What should I NOT bring? Gym wear (sweats, sports bras, etc), hair accessories, bathing suits, and undergarments are not accepted. The magic rule of swapping is that you should bring items that you would be happy to lend to your bff. 3. Can I try on my clothes? If so, where? There won't be an area where you can try on clothes, but you can certainly try them on over your clothes. We recommend wearing leggings for this purpose. 4. What happens if I don't find anything I like? Swap at your own risk. Bring in items you wouldn't mind parting with. If you didn't find anything, at least you got to edit your closet! 5. Which metro stop is the swap located? Dupont Circle Can't wait to see you there!
