I wish I had taken a before picture…read more This small shop is located right between the Kangaroo gas station and mini mart on 16th street. If you are heading west, it is right before Main Street and if you are heading east, it is right after Main Street. The shop is run by Ms. DeLoris - or Ms. D - who has been a seamstress for 20+ years. As the only one running the shop, I recommend coming in with some degree of patience if there is a line. She will take the time to help multiple clients at once, but with her recent hip surgery, it might take some time, BUT it is WELL worth the wait. Purely on a whim -and honestly out of desperation- I went in on a Tuesday with three suit jackets that needed to be tailored before a major business conference the following Wednesday. She sent me to the back of the store where there are 2 (possibly 3) dressing rooms and mirror. She fitted the jackets to me as we talked clothing in general and she told me she would have them ready by the Tuesday. Now, I can't lie. I was a little worried. Ms. D is a sweetheart, but as the sole seamstress with a high demand based on her shop, I wasn't sure if she would meet the deadline in time. HOWEVER, the following Tuesday came around and I called the number on the business card provided to check on the three jackets. Ms. D told me that they would be ready by 8:00 pm, and if earlier, she'd give me a call. At 7:00pm, I got the call and came in to pick them up. My jackets were PERFECT. I honestly almost cried considering the horror stories out there about bad alterations. I cannot say enough about how nice of a job she did and how the jacket fit in comparison to before. It was the confidence boost needed to nail an interview with a company at the conference. A $90 well spent ($30 per suit jacket)! The only caveat to this shop is that it is only open for walk in drop-offs/consultations from I believe 4:00pm - 6:30pm. HOWEVER, if needed, a simple phone call is enough to let her know if you need to come earlier or later. She worked with me after hours as a first time client and I am sure, with kindness and patience, she would do the same for anyone else.

They have good sales and most importantly, if you must make a return or run into any issue you need help with, their staff is prompt and helpful. There's clothing out there I do like better than Hollister: the bling of Morphine Generation, Howe, William Rast, Goldsign, and other haute-streetwear . . . but Hollister is great for basics that are enduring and attractive. Their prices can't be beat and their quality is very high with good choices for fabric that wears well and feels soft. I'm glad they're in my life. :)

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MANAGER not sure if it was Nikki or another manager .. I've never had a bad…read moreexperience at American eagle but yesterday was horrible . I walked up to her to ask about a size / length and if they had anymore or if they even had a decent stock of my size .. she simply rolled her eyes and just goes "no we don't have that " and proceeds to be clearly annoyed that I even asked her for help in the first place . Another worker ends up asking me if I need help which she does help me find my size so props to her for that I guess . As I go to leave I tell the other girl thank you for helping (it was dead silent ) the manager scoffs at me as I walk away . I'm assuming this is because I complained to the other worker about her shitty attitude . VERY MUCH MEAN GIRL ENERGY AND I WILL NEVER SHOP AT THIS LOCATION AGAIN . Her nasty attitude ruined the rest of my shopping experience and quite literally made me never want to return to that store ever again

For a long time I didn't much care for American Eagle, as I viewed them as more or less a…read moresecond-rate copy of Hollister Co, but recently on the advice of friends I've looked into them again and have been impressed overall. While Hollister takes their concept of style from parent-company Abercrombie's ethos mixed with a retro-surfer fashion sense, Am Eagle is more all-American, nearly Midwestern in their approach. You won't find that much real overlap in what types of styles the two stores carry. What I really like about Am Eagle is that they carry men's extra-small sizes in shirts and overall offer a lot more variety in sizes than most stores of their caliber. Also, their website allows you to look at multiple views of all products and to trace their products to see if a certain color and size is availible in a store near your ZIP code. This is such a nice feature, because it doesn't just show if your local store has it or not, but all the stores in a certain radias. So that cute shirt you want may not be availible at the Oaks Mall, but maybe Orlando and that's nice to know in case you'll be down there soon anyways. (Am I the only person who gives this much thought to shopping?!) I don't like Am Eagle's T-shirts or hoodies very much, but their button-up causal shirts are great and they often seem to have good seasonal sales. Several friends swear by their jeans and their girls' section looks impressive too. Also, I've found the sales staff to be very friendly yet not the least bit intrusive. I'm impressed with them now.

They have household stuff but didn't have time to browse. Part of the 5-star rating also has to do with their dressing room - it is literally a room! I did not feel crammed in a cubicle.
