women's clothing store
A retail store specializing in clothing for women and girls, in sizes and styles suited to its clientele.
A women's clothing store is a retail space specializing in clothing for women and girls. Its wares are generally tailored for a woman's body, in styles commonly worn by women in the culture or lifestyle of the clientele being catered to.
The intended clientele includes girls as well as adult women. The clothing styles can vary with the culture and preferences of the customers, without requiring one fixed form of dress.
A bridalwear store specializes by wedding use, while this term describes the broader women's and girls' clothing market. A store does not have to sell bridal or highly formal clothing to have this specialization.
