A new boutique, now open in Canton, is bringing more fashionable clothing options to plus-size women in the Jackson area.
Bishie Chrissi's (313 Franklin St., Canton) offers trendy clothing and accessories, such as distressed jeans, party dresses, shirts, shoes, bracelets and earrings.
Christy Luckett, who owns the boutique, said she has always wanted to open a clothing store. She decided to open a plus-size boutique because there are only a few in the area. Since the store opened Aug. 20, she says people have responded enthusiastically to what Bishie Chrissi's has to offer.
"The racks have been empty since we opened," Luckett said. "We have been selling out every weekend."
Bishie Chrissi's is open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Call 601-398-7066 for information.
