The jewelry selection was also nice; I may return to purchase a necklace and bracelet set I thought would be great for work but to also dress up some more casual pieces. Staff welcomed me when I entered the boutique which I appreciate and does affect whether I purchase something or not (as well as if I ever return to the store.) I had a nice conversation with one of the associates as I completed my purchase. The store also has seating which is great for boyfriends, husbands, and significant others. I also really loved the tags that were attached to each item which shows customer appreciation. I'm looking forward to returning to this boutique later this month for their 2nd Anniversary event!

I just got some bow tie pasta earrings as a gift, they're amazing.

Would recommend this to locals and visitors!

They have an incredible selection of clothes and jewelry available at a range of prices. I particularly like how it is possible to find any kind of outfit, be it casual, work appropriate, or night out; there is an outfit for every occasion. I came here a week ago to look for a birthday present for my sister, and I am so satisfied with the level of service and the quality of the clothing that they offer. There is never any sales pressure put on me, and I feel a warm welcome from them when I entered. This store is one that I will most certainly recommend to some of my friends because I know that they will enjoy it just as much as I do.

She suggested that the blonde lady try on the dress. However with me, the cashier ignored me. Wow. Talk about stellar (selective) customer service.

The prices are not low, but are appropriate for the quality of what they are selling. Compare the quality of one of their Toad & Co. brand t-shirst to one from H &M or Target and you will immediately feel the difference- six months of continuous wear later, the Toad & Co. will still look and feel new and the cheaper one will be a rag.

One of the highlights of my time as a customer was visiting Erika in Chicago to create my own customized dirndls- the process was so fun, collaborative, and truly special. She listened to every idea and brought it to life with her signature creativity and attention to detail. Each piece I've purchased has been beautifully made and wonderfully unique, and I always get compliments whenever I wear them. Rare Dirndl isn't just a brand to me -- it feels like a partnership in creating something meaningful. I absolutely cannot wait to collaborate with Erika again on my 2026 custom! Highly, highly recommend Rare Dirndl to anyone looking for quality, personality, and genuine artistry.

My husband and I were visiting for a wedding in Chicago recently and had to make sure to visit the store and meet Erika in person. Rare Dirndls are so well made and unique you'll feel amazing wearing them whether it's for Oktoberfest or just for the heck of it. If you're having a custom one made your dress in is good hands, Erika has made and worn countless dirndls and will help you make yours special and unique to you. As a bonus Erika gave us some tips about some local establishments and B and I started an impromptu German pub crawl. She is a wealth of knowledge and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend all of the products and services from Rare Dirndl. Thanks again and Prost!
