Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find an outfit for an upcoming Yelp event…read more Doesn't sound too hard, right? Until you are inspired by fellow Yelper Kristin S. to match the theme of the event, Taste of India. Now you know there is only one place to go and that is Devon Avenue. (Note to self, make sure you have cash next time you come here looking for a bargain.) My daughter and I were directed to this store after I pointedly asked in another boutique, "Do you have Kurtas that would fit ME?" This was indeed the place and once inside we quickly got down to business as the most amazing salesclerks ran their eyes down my body and when they looked at me I quickly added, "I would like it to not be very expensive." They pretended I was their dream client (chubby and cheap, yay!) and brought me out Kurtas from everywhere. None really had sizes or prices marked on them. Me: What size is this? Answer: Your size Me: How much does it cost? Answer: I give you good price, better if you have cash. I tried on and tried on and if I didn't think it would fit I was assured they had a tailor who would make it fit. We actually had a ton of fun and of course you realize you are going to buy one and so we did. The two ladies who worked here had made it their mission to please us, it was simply amazing customer service. (And if you have buyer's remorse, well as the signs everywhere stated, No returns! No exchanges!) And it turned out to indeed be my size and a good price! Viceroy of India, here I come!

A great shop with master negotiators. Sizes aren't marked so you can't pick out your own clothes…read moreand prices are just a guideline. That just makes it more fun, yes? Kristin S. told my mom and I that she was wearing a sari to the Yelp Event and that made us suddenly need something festive as well. I really hope the rest of you will be in theme. If not, don't point and laugh too much, ok? The ladies at Pakistan Fashion were super nice. I have never received such attention and positive reinforcement while shopping. I realize that the end game is to get me to buy something and, hey, it worked. Like a charm. They had a great selection and reasonable prices. I am convinced though that had I had cash, I would have gotten an even better deal. I like the Kurta I chose and should the need arise again, they will be the first place I check out.

Well, the name says it all: this store is fabulous, and the eponymous Richard will be your style…read moreguru, knowing at a glance what size you'll need, telling you authoritatively to wear braces rather than a belt with that suit, turning up the sleeves on this shirt for you, and generally steering you through the seas of fantastic vintage finds in his store. My fiance came looking for maybe a tie or pocket square to match my dark purple wedding dress, but also wanted to check out the Oxfords and suits. He ended up leaving with a perfect vintage suit that will only need minimal tailoring, a pocket square, a tie, as well as a casual shirt, all for less than the cost of renting a suit somewhere. Plus, gotta love supporting a shop like this -- in business 11 years and clearly going strong; there were 5 or 6 people shopping in there at the same time! And Richard was hopping from one to the next effortlessly. In addition to clothes, there are other vintage finds such as paintings/photos, cocktail accoutrements, and matchbooks. Richard himself works most days but said Sundays he has an assistant so that he can check out estate sales himself. He obviously takes pride in finding wonderful and unique pieces for his shop, and said that everything gets dry cleaned before selling (so it doesn't have the musty smell of some vintage shops). My fiance appreciated the thoughtful layout of the shop. It is obvious that we will be back to check out more fabulous finds!

Haus of Allilamodie Original Clothes is a Bucktown gem for one of a kind Women's fashion! They…read morerecently opened in June and are still trying to establish themselves as a fashion destination in Wicker Park/ Bucktown, but are well on their way to getting the recognition they deserve! The niche here is that it's literally a fashion house in the sense that Chicago designer Allison Helliwell lives, works, and sells out of her back alley storefront. Everything in the store is quite literally one of a kind and hand made by her. Not hard to get to, but it is located in a back alley off Damen ave N. at the beginning of a long row of independent boutiques. This can be tough when finding it, but worth checking out, even if it's only to try on one of Allison's hand made fur trimmed snow bunny coats. Just follow the banner on the South side of the building. If you shop at Urban Outfitters or Akira, this may not suit your price point, but her prices are comparable to Marc Jacobs or BCBG. The only difference is the handcrafted in Chicago thing they have going on. I suggest you stop in and check it out if only to browse and try something on! Snap a photo and put it on Facebook, and all your friends will be green with envy! Ohh yeah, I forgot to mention, my friend(who is a little bigger) had a jacket custom made here just for her! Allison took her measurements, and with a 50% down payment was able to tailor her one of her custom designs in a few days. She just goes over the fabric choices and lets you chose your favorite! Haus of Allilamodie Original Clothes might be too edgy for Bucktown, but it's worth a look!

There are a lot of bargains too! Right now they have special 4 suits for $100! These are not picked over suits either! They are ones they just received and were still in the big box that he hadn't put out yet. Adil helped me and was so resourceful! He brought out over 25 suits in my size (42/XXL) in every color and style imaginable. The savior/pants to the suits are elastic band and easy on and off. He was so nice and did his best to find the colors I was really wanting in my wardrobe. They have XS to XXL sizes with a huge variety and selection in all sizes and many name brand designers. I was happy to see they carry the very latest designs of the season so you're IN Style! Suits are of good quality and have many unique touches like unique handmade buttons, delicate lace trims, hand embroidery etc.. that others on Devon don't carry. From wedding to everyday wear. Musa carries it ALL!!! I went in thinking I might be lucky just to find 1 suit in my size and came out with 4 that I really love!

They seem like they cater to mostly younger folks for proms/quinsiañeras/etc, but there are lots of options available.

There's a kid section, suits section, shoes section, and tons of dresses, including bridal. If you're looking for a cheap wedding dress ($500 or less), this would be a great place to find one!

I stopped in this weekend to take a look at the deeply discounted items. I found a good buy and took notice of a few regular price eye-catchers.

All in all, a solid option well suited for the caliber of residents in the area and shopping corridor. Additionally, layaway is an option with a thirty percent deposit.
