My beautiful wedding dress!

I ordered my wedding dress online for my wedding. Biggest mistake. 1 month before my wedding. My dress still hadn't arrived. I was truly stressed. I drive by Fifi's everyday going home from work. I called and setup an appointment. The very next day. Fifis's beautiful daughter assisted me. The first dressed she brought out I loved. The second 1 I loved. I Felt so relieved and so happy. These ladies made me feel so special. And I had a wonderful experience at Fifi's bridal shop. I never write reviews. But I had to to write this review. If you are getting married. Please stop by Fifi's. She has a wonderful selection of beautiful and affordable wedding dresses. I truly appreciate these wonderful ladies. For saving my wedding. I will forever be grateful

My experience was wonderful, when to look for my dress in January, and it arrived in April. Fifi was a sweet heart to me and her staff too! I'm not a difficult client at all I let her do her job because I trust her and everything came out perfect! Loved my dress and everyone loved it too. I would recommend her 100%!! (I bought my wedding dress 6 years ago )

Fifi and her daughter are absolutely amazing humans! You will not be disappointed when arriving, they treat you like family and make you feel so comfortable. They have an eye for your vision and they execute it flawlessly. Fifi's bridal and custom tailoring is your one stop shop. Not only does it carry off the rack options that are absolutely drop dead gorgeous gowns but also alterations are conveniently done there too! I got engaged back in November 2021 I went to hundreds of stores even traveled out of state in hopes to find my vision of my dress with no luck. Time was running out and I couldn't order a dress anymore I only had time to buy off rack. June 6th 2021 I found Fifi! The first dress she had me try on was the dress I bought! I'm telling you Fifi is my fairy godmother and her daughter is my Angel! If I could give more stars I would!

Wedding dress not purchased at Fifi's but I credit the final look entirely to her! She transformed this dress.

I cannot recommend this store or Fifi enough - please do not go anywhere else or you will regret it!! Fifi saved my wedding dress after I foolishly bought elsewhere. The place I bought at had me order the dress too short and it looked nothing as promised when it arrived. I came in to see Fifi crying, worried I'd have to walk down the aisle in a dress I hated. But Fifi worked her magic, tailored the dress, added a beautiful belt, and it was transformed! She saved my dress. Please, please look no further for your wedding dress or tailoring needs. Fifi is truly the best!

Dress after alterations

I brought my wedding dress to Fifi 4 1/2 months before my wedding - after 5 rounds of alterations and more tears than I am willing to admit to, she returned it to me two weeks before my wedding with the top ruined. She altered the dress incorrectly, removing fabric from the bust seam, which resulted in a poor fit. In addition, the silk was pressed at too high of heat, which lead to the fabric being scorched. I was forced to take my dress to another seamstress with less than two weeks until my wedding who REBUILT the front of my dress using the fabric from the train. I cannot warn potential customers enough. I was so disappointed by the quality of work Fifi performed on my wedding dress and the lack of accountability she accepted for the condition of the final product.

Thank you Fifi for helping us both with our dresses! You made us both feel great and it was a beautiful wedding :-))

See all

For a small, Elmhurst (near the train), independently owned business, Enzee is pretty spectacular,…read moreespecially during the twice annual, end of season sale! Sale merchandise is then 50% off red-lined sale prices for some great pieces, all around 70% off of the original price, most of which are fair to fabulous. Fantastic for handmade items, brands such as THML clothing, luxurious Bench winter accessories, Femme tanks, Shiraleah gloves, fun Big Buddha bags, and a lot more. A royal blue tank that was originally $24, was $5 after the sale, the black tank, $11.00. For $132, I have a shopping bag full of quality items that will last and last. If we continue to have seasonable winters, even longer. So many tempting things, and much of it is on sale. I could have easily bought several shopping bags loaded with stuff. I peeked at the first Spring items already in. Good solid prices, stylish and wearable. Enzee is a great place to shop for gifts, especially if the person you're buying for appreciates things that are different than the normal brands at department and larger stores. I've never seen anything I've bought at Enzee at any other store except, Deer Fina, which has (sadly) closed.

Their jewelry is one-of-a-kind in a contemporary/classic way. The staff is extremely pleasant, and the merchandise is delightful. I'm particularly fond of the earrings on display here. The clothes on display are quite appealing too. I went to Enzee last week because I had a wardrobe emergency. Thankfully, they had exactly what I needed, as well as a plethora of other fantastic items! Over the last few years, I've acquired my favorite pair of chandelier earrings, as well as a slew of other trendy earrings and some cute clothing. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely return here again and again. Also, if you're looking to mix up your wardrobe and buy gifts for someone, I will highly recommend this location!

The Uptown Shop - The "new" Lanzi's purchased in Jan 2026. Pretty darn close to the original & still delicious :D.

What's nice is the jewelry they sell is good quality, with some sterling silver, yet they're not in competition with Cottage Hill Diamonds next door, for that ultra in serious bling! I know some shoppers are sick and tired of the trail of Vera Bradley...but I must say the store is filled with so much of other delights, there's no reason to have to resort to looking at the VB stuff. No reason whatsoever. They have some Eucalyptus Spa booties I need to come back for asap!

Back in the 70's & 80's, my parents always used to buy these & we loved them! Then suddenly, they just disappeared from store shelves. Well, many years later, Lanzi's is BACK!!!! You can order them from the Uptown Shop. I just got a box in the mail. Flavor-wise it's REALLY CLOSE to the original (they had to reverse-engineer it because the recipe was lost after Elmo Lanzi passed on & production of the candy stopped). But man, it is pretty darn close & still tastes DELICIOUS!!!!

The sales associate was friendly and helpful, though left me to my own devices when I said I was just browsing (read: oohing and ahhing over everything!).

All of the women there have been excellent- first rate. Sooo- I stop in today- as I usually do- and I noticed a woman I had never seen before. I noticed right off the bat that her energy was sharp toward me- and that's okay. I'm in sales- I understand that not everyone likes everyone. So- I see a sweater I like and decide to try it on. I hear her voice from behind the curtain-"I think you would be more suited to a "woman's cut " hmmmm. Now, understand none of this is solicited in any way. To which I follow with-"what does that mean?" And here's the best part- she says "you know - for women north of fifty". To which I swung the curtain open and asked - "what did you just say to me?" Because I needed to hear if hats what she actually said. Yes. She actually did say that. I don't think I need any follow up- because ,well- I guess being insulted just isn't my bag. I can go hang out on the west side if I need uneducated rude unsolicited advice. Thanks anyhow.

That being said, I am so glad I found it! The first time I went there, I received a free facial. I was given suggestions on what would work best with my face and even some free samples since I have very sensitive skin. Since then I have been back a few times. I don't go very often because the items I buy usually last me awhile. In addition, I don't need to buy as many products because they work so well. For example, before Merle Norman, I had a special cream to reduce the redness on my face. With Merle Norman, the foundation covers the redness. I finally cleared out my bathroom drawer of all the other items that never worked as I had hoped or things in which I had a bad reaction. Now I have all Merle Norman products in my drawer. I went back today and received even more free samples and a cute make-up bag. Even cuter than the free make-up bag I received last time. Free is always good.
