Great service on a busy weekend day, and prompt email response even afterhours…read more I was pleasantly surprised when I came here for a holiday event. I had struck out at just about every high-end department store you can think of, and couldn't even find a decent to try on anywhere I had gone. Gipper Prom has a large selection, with most inventory displayed on mannequins instead of just on hangers. There's no lugging around 10lb dresses, you just write the style number and color up on a slip they give you when you first walk in, and when you're done, they bring it to your dressing room. And it IS a room, with a locking door, so no worrying about that big dress leaving you exposed as you turn around. They had several associates at the dressing room, ready to help zip, clasp or adjust when needed, and they make sure the walkway is clear for you to move about. Since most people do not go dress shopping alone, they thoughtfully have ample seating and complimentary water for the poor soul you may have dragged along with you. Seating is arranged several feet behind a wall lined with mirrors, each section accompanied by a platform and appropriate lighting. The platform is likely useful for any tailoring needed, but I just used it to make my significant other nervously rate me in each of the 10 or so dresses I tried on. The staff didn't pressure you to buy, nor did anyone look at my long list of dresses like I was wasting their time or making their life terrible for no reason. The people working were friendly, and the other customers and their guests were also all cheery. Dress shopping can be a nightmare - hot, cramped, nothing fitting the way you hope, sizing not available, etc. But not the case here - and the other women shopping seemed to feel the same as me. Customers were openly complimenting each other, and the entire atmosphere was very warm. I can't rate their ability to modify or make minor fixes to beading, etc. The dress I purchased was perfect without anything needed. Overall, I was more than impressed. If you're an adult, well - clearly we aren't going to the prom, but this is a great store for many other events including pageants, galas, black tie or formal parties, or any time you can get away with being a little "extra," or are in need of a good selection of floor-length, high-quality formalwear. I will definitely be coming back!

They even told me they were taking it in the back and checking the beading and we waited a few minutes to get it. I get home and she tries it in and I go to zip it up to see beads falling off and already missing from near the zipper. Take your business elsewhere or check the dress carefully yourself before leaving. They were very dishonest with me!

Priti patiently showed us our options and helped us order a custom outfit from India. We are very pleased with the sherwani that we received. It was exactly what we wanted - it was good quality fabric and good design at a reasonable price. I also ended up getting some kurtis and kurti sets from here. Again, good quality clothes at reasonable prices. Also, Priti provided good customer service. She never pressured us to commit to/purchase anything. She definitely made wedding shopping easy for us. This place is going to be my go to Indian clothing store from now on. I no longer feel the need to go all the way to Devon to get Indian clothes! FYI, the boutique is located in the basement of Priti's house. And, for all my fellow Indians in the Yelposphere, prices are fixed! But they are reasonable, do not hesitate to check out this place.

At the risk of sounding like a voiceover, The Gentry Shop may be the finest clothier in the Quad…read moreCities. Jalapeno toothpaste! See, they wouldn't say something like that in a voiceover. We're alright. You don't have to spend a lot to look good, but a little extra never hurt. Shirts, suits, and ties at The Gentry Shop may cost a little more, but you get what you pay for. This is a haberdashery, not the denim and gun aisle at Walmart. Gentlemen of height greater than average will appreciate the fine tailoring done here, particularly with respect to neckties. For those 6'2" and above--not an insignificant percentage of modern American males--standard length ties will simply not do the job. Starting a unicorn ranch is easier than finding handsome, quality extra long ties. But there's hope. The Gentry Shop (although they do have a few good long ties) will expertly lengthen a regular tie and ship it to you. You may be wearing a once lilliputian cravat, but your friends and colleagues will be none the wiser, and compliments will commence. The Gentry Shop...for those foppish dandies who tip their caps at jaunty, rakish, or even saucy angles.

When Michelle at The Gentry Shop heard my dilemma, her instant response was, "Will same day work?" The service in the store measured up to the quality of the clothes - and she promised to let me know as soon as it was ready. The motorhome I live in was right outside the door, so I decided to wait "at home" in their parking lot. To put icing on the cake, she and the owner personally delivered it all. Door to door service. Can you beat that!

The stitching is clean and even, the new zippers glide smoothly, and the match is so good you'd never know they weren't original. You can tell they care about quality. Both purses feel sturdy again, and they clearly handled them with real care. Turnaround was quick and the price was fair for craftsmanship this good. I was worried I'd have to give up on two purses I love, so I'm thrilled to have found this place. I'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a repair done right.

I'd previously taken them to luggage repair shops that told me cases that old could not be repaired. Simon, the friendly owner of Stop 'N Out, carefully examined them and thoughtfully came up with creative approaches to making them usable again.

When there was a slight hiccup with one of the repairs, he promptly reworked it with an even sturdier alternative fix--and even offered me a 1 yr. warranty! Great experience. I highly recommend Stop 'N Out.

Hello Everyone, I…read morecannot recommend Simple Stitches enough!!! I flew in from San Francisco to Chicago, and drove to Rockford, IL in the morning to attend a Wedding Rehearsal & Dinner & Wedding (the following day). I bought a dress last minute, the day prior to my flight, and I could only zip up mid scapular region of my back. Despite all my methods to zip this beautiful dress, I could not. I knew I was going to need this dress to be tailored. The only issue was I needed a VERY fast turn around time, as I needed this dress to be ready by 4 PM the same day! I called about 10 minutes after they opened, explained my situation, and was asked to come in. Immediately I was greeting by the friendly faces working there! They took a look at my dress and gave me a solution. The prices & rush fee were EXTREMELY REASONABLE!!! My dress was done within 1 hour of me dropping it off. And I felt like a princess!! They did such an amazing job, and I would not hesitate to fly all the way from California to Rockford, IL to get any of my clothes tailored. That's how amazing the service was. I received so many compliments on my dress (a House of CB dress), and the alterations made only further enhanced the beauty of this dress. If you are in need of alterations, I beseech you, GO TO SIMPLE STITCHES!!!! Oh, and by the way, if I want to remove the alteration, I can do so without any damage to the dress! And if I don't it is sturdy that it can stay as a permanent alteration to the dress! I wore this dress pretty much from 4 PM to Midnight, and it held up, perfectly!
