I was in the store last week for the first time to place some of my clothes on consignment. The owner and the manager were really helpful because I thought it was like a thrift store but the items they had looked virtually new and they carried so many nice quality items. They had the best selection of high-end denim I've seen for those prices. I definitely think it's worth a trip to check out as much as I can.

I had read the great reviews and had a lot of clothes to offer Petticoat. There were two people at the front when I came in. When they realized I had clothes to "sell" they became very condesending and standoffish. I apparently had too many clothes and the woman that turned out to be the owner kept telling me to wait "over there" while she "decided" what she would take. I had no problem with her system, I just didn't know it, as it had been my first time going through it. I was flabbergasted at the "I'm doing you such a favor" condesending attitude. I thought this was a win/win situation? She was so focused on controlling my actions, when I went to "browse" - she asked me again, "to stand over there" while they decided. I asked almost jokingly, "Is it okay for me to shop?" She continued her rudeness - but answered yes. I found some fabulous pieces and ended up spending a few hundred there - however, I left feeling so badly about how I was looked down upon and treated so poorly - I made the decision - no bargin or clothes is worth that feeling. Once I collect my money I will never go back. After I left there I went to Return Engagement on Bolsa (I think) and the women there were amazingly pleasant and welcomed my business - even though I brought in clothes! (I did purchase more from them too.) I have never taken the time before to write these kind of reviews - however, I have always benefitted from them. This experience effected me so strongly - I just don't want anyone else to be subjected to it. The owner and staff need so lessons on class, ettiquette, and good ol' fashioned kindness before they shandle the public - I don't care how "greatly rated your place may be." Learn how to treat people with kindness.

I went to Petticoat Lane when they were having their "Best of Orange County" sale and found many great deals! Seven jeans, Citizens of Humanity, True Religion, etc between $59 and $129! Some of their other items are $2-10!
Pros: Great Brands!

PETTICOAT LANE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CONSIGNMENT SHOP THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TO! TODAY I BOUGHT A PAIR OF SEVEN JEANS, CITIZENS, AND A CUTE TOP FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE I WOULD'VE PAID FOR 1 PAIR OF NAME BRAND JEANS AT THE MALL. IT WAS VERY EASY TO FIND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED BY SIZE AND COLOR. I WAS SURPRISED THAT IT IS A CONSIGNMENT STORE BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS BRAND NEW. MOST OF THE OTHER CONSIGNMENT STORES I'VE BEEN TO ARE DATED AND DON'T HAVE MUCH TURN AROUND, BUT EVERY TIME I GO TO THIS STORE THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE NEW ITEMS. THEY PUT A LOT OF THEIR BEST NEW ARRIVALS IN A SPECIAL AREA AND THEY HAVE REALLY CUTE DISPLAYS.
Pros: QUALITY, BRANDS, PRICES
Cons: NONE
