what you send to closet purgatory might be heaven-sent for someone else. celebrate the art of sharing and bring your gently-worn items to The Frock Swap.
Free clothes, refreshments, sustainable shopping and saying goodbye to your never-worn-agains.
All unclaimed garments will be donated to WISH women's shelter.
for those of you who are new to this, this is how it works;
1) register at http://frockswapregistration.blogspot.com/ with your name, email address and phone number (and any additional friends that will be coming with you)
2) you'll recieve a confirmation that we recieved your rsvp.
3) start gathering your clothes/accessories/jewellery/shoes (gently-worn, please! no rags and smelly threads!)
4) a week before, we'll be holding a clothing drive where you can drop off your clothes to us so we can count them, confirm how many
items you have so we can keep track of how many items you can swap for (one item for one item), and so we can set up all the clothes for the day of the frock swap.
5) come on down the day of the frock swap and do your 'free" shopping!

1) Please bring a minimum of 6 items of clothing, shoes or accessories.
2) Whatever # of items you bring, that’s how many you can swap for (eg: if you brought 6 items, you can leave with 6 “new” items)
3) If you don’t find as many items as you brought in, feel free to donate your leftovers to friends or whomever!
4) Please make sure the clothing is gently worn and clean when you bring it in.
5) We’ll be holding a clothing drive where we’ll either pick up the clothes from you or have a place where you can drop it off. During this clothing drive, we’ll be confirming the # of items you have and we’ll hold your clothes so we can set everything up so it’s ready for all of you the day-of!
6) Feel free to bring friends with you to the frock swap, even if they haven’t donate clothes – the shopping is only limited to people who’ve brought clothing but we welcome the public to come out!
7) Please bring any extra hangers you have to hang the clothes and make sure to bring a big bag to carry your new finds! We also welcome anyone who’s willing to let us borrow a rolling rack or even donate one!
8) We’re open to any questions or concerns you might have so please don’t hesitate to contact us! ([email protected])
