Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 448190 covers establishments that retail specialized lines of new clothing, as distinct from retailers offering general lines organized by gender or age group. Stores selling bridal gowns, leather coats, swimwear, lingerie, fur apparel, or uniforms fall within this code when they focus on a particular clothing type rather than serving a broad demographic. Retailers of clothing accessories are classified separately, as are those selling general men's, women's, children's, or family clothing assortments.
