The last time I was there I overheard a conversation about a return of a Christmas gift, that was not able to be returned or store credited.

The store was organized really well and had cute items throughout. One nice thing I noticed is they had plenty of the items displayed in the windows- it's always a bummer when you fall in love with something and then there are only a couple in the store. That's not the case here. There are dressing rooms in the back and the staff were helpful and friendly. They also were playing Taylor Swift which I appreciated.

Clothes you would find at the mall perhaps. The cashier was about 17 or 18 years old chatting with a group of her high school friends admiring torn jeans and tank tops. The vibe has changed somewhat and maybe that was their intention. I just think with Mayfair close by we have enough, Hot Topic and Ragstock's that it's not necessary to bring a satellite of those stores to the Wauwatosa Village.

It needed to be taken in in the bust and also hemmed shorter. items can be dropped off by walk-in only with a two week turnaround time. I told her no rush as I did not need it until September And it was still done in roughly 2 weeks. My only complaint is that it seemed a little pricey as I paid $100. With that said, the work is flawless.
