This is probably my favorite store at Fox Valley, and I'm very, VERY thankful for it. I've been very lucky recently in that I've really liked the clothing that I've seen, and that I can almost always find it in my size. Shopping for myself sucks multiple big ones, and I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party about it, but it's very frustrating. It's not that I can't find things that fit me, it's that I can't find them without having to wander into the kids section. I'm not ****** doing that. Thank you Express, thank you ever so much.
I have consistently, over the past few years, been able to find nice clothes, both pants/jeans and shirts/dress shirts--though the smallest waist-size they carry is 28, which is the highest I can go before the pants start looking ridiculously large on me; thankfully, a lot of the fitting is slim so that helps a great deal too. The store is large, clean, and organized, and I have found the employees to be more helpful here than in any other clothing store in the mall. I'm always approached by at least one person, and have found them to be helpful on the occasions when I needed it; just the last time I visited one of the employees approached me long after I had selected a couple of pairs of pants and suggested the same pants but in a different--albeit more expensive--fit, noting that it was slimmer. The hell is that? Really freakin appreciated is what that is. The clothing is more expensive than at the gap, but really it's not that bad because they're always offering deals, sales, and they have rewards programs, so it's definitely a place that's worth checking out. read more
