We now host larger events at the West Springfield High School where we can easily fit 300 people! We have a DJ who lays down some awesome tunes named DJ Kat! She makes the whole swap like a kick ass party!
We have been hosting local vendors at our swaps so our fashionistas can shop if they like from a variety of fashion type stores. It's a pop up shop before and during the swap.
We have been sponsored by Vocelli's Pizza ~ We got rid of the potluck and have been enjoying the wonderful pizza, salad and cookies that they have been provided free of cost - food has been paid for by Margaaa Services - a local carpet cleaning and restoration business.
We have been hosting plus size clothing swaps - alternating between the regular swaps at the high school cafeteria and the governmental center.
Our next swap is at the West Springfield High School At 6100 Rolling Rd. Springfield, VA 22152
Swap date is June 15th - clothing drop off from 11:30-12:00 and swap starts promptly at 1:00. Feel free to hang around after you drop your clothing off and enjoy the food courtesy of Vocelli's Pizza and shop the vendors who will be ready to share their wares with you!
We now charge a $5.00 entry fee to participate. Half the money goes to the school's debate team for allowing us to use their cafeteria space and if we are using the governmental center, half the money collected is donated to RAINN (Rape Abuse and Incest National Network) We sell raffle tickets for a 50/50 and also for prizes that I have collected from various businesses on the Internet. Swag bags are given out to the first 20 people in line and they are filled with donated goodies from various businesses -
It's really turned into something great so if you are in the Metro DC / Alexandria VA area - join our group and come to one of our amazing clothing swaps!

We now have over 1,300 members in our swap group and are growing every day! It's important to sign up just as soon as the swap gets posted because the spots fill up amazingly fast! If you are a vendor, you'll need to sign up and pay for your table ($50) right away because those spots fill up fast too. We can only host 10-15 vendors so sign up for the group to get automated updates about new swaps and shows!
Hope to see you at the swaps!
