Online Store 'ModCloth' Opens Shop In DC

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Popular online retailer ModCloth is opening a brick-and-mortar "FitShop" on U Street Friday, according to reports.

The quirky e-tailer is known for their vintage-style clothing, swimwear, shoes and decor.

"ModCloth is a digitally native lifestyle brand committed to inspiring personal style and helping all women feel like the best version of themselves," a press release says.

Women can't actually purchase items at the "FitShop," but instead will be sized and fitted in sample pieces. Stylists will then use these measurements to purchase the customer's clothes online while the customer is still at the store, Washingtonian reports.

Customers will then receive the items at their home, free of shipping costs.

ModCloth will open at 1924 8th St. NW.

DC is the third ModCloth brick-and-mortar location opening this year. Two stores are already open in San Francisco and Austin, and stores are set to open in Los Angeles and New York soon.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
