Boutique It With Me opened its doors on July 5 and showcases work wear, cocktail wear and formal wear for all ages.
Business owner Ginette Steer said her shop offered something for everyone.
"We have stock that is very affordable and across all ages. It's not just for 18 to 25 demographic, however we do stock that too," Ms Steer said.
"I have just signed a contract to stock a curvy range up to a size 24. So we will have that available in the near future."
Ms Steer said she was adamant on keeping prices affordable.
"There was a store here a few years ago called Elk and Arrow which stopped me buying online, but when the store closed I went back to buying online because it was expensive buying in town," she said.
"After leaving the stress of the mining industry behind, I wanted to support local business and open a shop that stocked beautiful and affordable clothing without the large price tag to encourage locals to shop in town.
"It's difficult and nerve racking for people like myself to go on a new business venture, but it is 100pc worth the risk as long as the support is there long term."
Ms Steer said even though she was located at 13C West Street, next door to Impulse Boutique, it was not a competition between businesses.
"I feel like we compliment each other, because we stock different things," she said.
"Locals can come buy an outfit here and then go next door to Impulse for accessories such as they stock shoes and hair fascinators and shapewear. "
Boutique it with me is open Tuesday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm and also offers AfterPay on minimum of $150 spend.
