I found out about Beauty By Design from the bridal salon I bought my wedding dress at. I was really…read morehappy that I was able to get in pretty quickly to start getting my dress tailored, because a lot of the other places I reached out to were booked through the end of the year, and my wedding is in September. Deborah has been amazing to work with. I really appreciate the time she put into my first appointment to suggest what needed to be changed and altered. She is also awesome for letting me bring my second dress, for my bridal shower, in as well to get altered. The alterations made to both dresses were fantastic and just what I asked for, and then some. I would highly recommend using Beauty By Design for your tailoring needs!

Whoa! How did I not know about this little gem?! What a great selection of some new, some reused,…read moreclothing, shoes, and accessories. I love how everything is color coded and wish more stores would organize like this. Every employee I encountered was very friendly and helpful. I did notice that they were diligently interactive with me after I picked up a $100 blouse- as they should be on a busy Saturday! But I really appreciated the small talk and direction from Randie, who gave me the brief on where to find everything, and the brief on the sister store Nextdoor. This store is a bit out of my way, but now knowing what they carry I definitely see myself returning here when I am feeling like I want to treat myself. As I am someone who prides in ensuring clothes don't go to landfill and trying to reuse or recycle as much as I can (I shop thrift a lot) I was very pleased to see that they take overflow items from designers. My only bummers were when I got home, the nice gentleman at the register unfortunately left one of the security tags on a sweater, leaving me to figure out how to break it off. It happens, but gosh dang! And then the same sweater had a bit of a small but obvious stain on it. And while I know it's already deeply discounted, it wasn't in the clearance section. So when I asked if they might consider anything additional on the top, he kindly explained how the store handles stuff like this and that basically there is a waiting period of it doesn't sell. Odd, but I'm sure it helps them profit, so I understand. Overall, I'll be back! What a great local spot!

While I prefer their Annex store next door for even cheaper finds (with imperfections), Opitz is a…read morehidden gem in SLP to get your designer goods at a much cheaper price! This outlet is clean, well organized, and true to its name: there are some major markdowns and steals to be found! I would say this is a step above Nordstrom Rack when it comes to high-end designer finds. If that's what you're looking for, this is your spot! I especially enjoy their shoe selection and clearance area with even deeper discounts. Usually when I'm here, I'm looking for nice formalwear. If you're stopping in, be sure to check out Annex next door - same concept, but even cheaper (we're talking as low as $3) for designer/name brand items with imperfections!

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I am planning a formal complaint to the BBB. This company is the Spirit…read moreAirlines of tuxedo rentals. I am NOT exaggerating when I say everything has gone wrong at every turn. I am the groom with 6 groomsmen. Every single persons order is wrong. Items only arrive 2 weeks before the wedding. We all came in for in-store fitting to be careful. Everything still wrong. There is ZERO customer service to fix their mistakes. 45+ min hold times to get to outsourced phone reps who say they fixed the problem, but nothing is fixed and you have no ability to fix it yourself. This should be criminal! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

They assured me that there would be enough time as long as I was fitted today! No apology, no other reason except we can't do it! Do go here if you are in need of their assistance.

Great price, quality products, solid fit and cut, fast turnaround, and customer service couldn't be beat. They also sell other men's apparel and accessories, all nice stuff at different price points. We've gotten polos, sports coats, socks and hats here also. It's a known fact that many professional athletes in the area (Timberwolves players, Vikings, Twins etc) go to Milbern's for their custom tailored suits. The store front looks unassuming on University Ave from the outside, but don't let that fool you. This family-owned small business is worth the visit! PS: They also throw a great 80th birthday party for the community!

The selection of suits, knowledge from staff, and service all surpassed our expectations. Their pricing cannot be beat especially given the quality of their suits and the tailoring / alterations they provide. We will recommend them to anyone needing a suit or dress clothes for any occasion! We are looking forward to working with them for our wedding. Thanks Milbern Clothing for making an important part of the wedding process such a positive and stress free experience!
