By word of mouth from one our Gymboree mama's (no, not the mama of the boy Peanut bit)
This is evidently a mammoth consignment sale that takes place twice a year in Dallas.
From the looks of it - Divine Consign promises to be just that.
Note that "first time moms", ie, those pregnant or with a child under 1 year can get into the PRE-SALE. But, they are like the number three pre-sale group following the volunteers. Nonetheless, its the night before Divine Consign opens its doors to everyone else.
I've signed up for the pre-sale...more posts to follow.
Another hot consignment store tip was for Once Upon a Child in Flower Mound next to the new Sprouts supermarket. Once we visit, I'll have some more info.
