I checked out Annabel's while dress shopping and tried on four or five dresses. The lady working…read morewas friendly and helpful. Although the location is great and the inside of the store is clean and well laid out, there is barely any selection. Most of the dresses there were in the $200-400 range and the quality just wasn't there. There was only really one small room with dresses. The change rooms felt larger than the dress room. Most of the dresses had very thin fabrics and it was obvious they were quickly and cheaply made factory style. Which is fine for some brides, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Other bridal shops had much better quality dresses that were in the $800 range then reduced to around $300.

I was in this shop today and can only give this review on what the selection was in the store…read more Once again, this is the selection only, we did not purchase or try a dress on. First, this is like walking into a fairytale with some of these dresses. They had such a large variety, I was shocked. There was young girls trying on these beautiful gowns. Some in red, others in gold and some in burgundy, I think you could find anything in here, long , short or cocktail dresses and every color option. Each dress was so full of personality, of course they all looked beautiful. I am not sure someone can look bad in these dresses. When you put one one, you just feel like a princess. The ladies in the shop were very nice to us, asked us if we needed any help, talked about the weather. They were very down to earth. The gowns ranged around $300 - 500, but there was a back wall with ones on sale, they were around $200. I thought this was a pretty good price. I liked the selection here. It is the only store that posts a sign. "Please remove shoes before entering". I think this is so no one would catch the shoe while trying on the dress.

It's really hard to feel comfortable in a place where you are afraid to breathe. That basically…read moresums up my experience at All Dressed Up. I pass the store often, but don't dream to enter as it mainly carries higher end clothing than I can afford and a wide selection of prom dresses. These prom dresses are the main attraction for many girls that flock to this store all winter, and when I finally went to pick out a dress the women that worked there made me never want to come back. They wouldn't let my friend go into the change room with me, our bags were taken behind the cash register (who would try to smuggle out 11 layers of toule?), and no pictures were allowed to be taken of me trying on the dress. Not-So Hot Hint: Don't plan on being able to zip and unzip yourself, I was reprimanded and given the "you break it you buy it" line for doing just that.

The saleslady assisting us was very nice and patient. Adam must've tried on at least 2-3 different shirts and more than 5 ties. She was also nice enough to steam the shirt before wrapping it up. They have this cool policy in the store where you can try to put a hole in one mini golf style for $95 off a tie for $2 (and the money goes to charity!). Sadly, both Adam and I missed. But I enjoyed playing a lot! Mini put inside a store! I was surprised no one snubbed us as we did look very ordinary. I think once Adam specifically asked to try on a shirt, they loosened up and realized we were going to buy something. That's when they got friendlier and offered us drinks. But I really only liked the lady who helped us, the rest seemed unbothered and lazy.

Great fits for all shapes-- because yes, men come in odd sizes as well-- the staff here are professionals and do not take retail lightly. Going into Duggers and doing serious shopping calls for full-on service in a kind and cordial manor. As I accompanied a male friend in recent months on a mission for a new jacket, I observed the service as very thorough and helpful. It wasn't about a simple assistance to the change room; these people are all about getting the right fix, giving brand detailing and all the extras. Those looking to get properly outfitted and not knowing where to start can rely on Dugger's. As well, its a fine place to browse. No pressure... I like this spot, as they've got some pretty spruced up threads. Pricey but spicy, this is a place to check if you are looking to be fine and fancy.

Great style as soon as you walk in .Staff dressed to the nines and ready to help. sometime it is worth the extra $$ to get the attention and detail from a speciality store. Vogue has all men's fashions from suite up. Now these are not your average suites that you will find in the malls these are ones that when you walk in the room you will be notice. From custom to off the rack they are made with detail and quality. Shifts ties as well as sweaters or even casual wear that has style they have it all.Now this all comes with a price of course. But if you want to look good stand out in a crowd drop on by the old fashion men's club for a real suit.

I took it to multiple tailors and they turned me away; I then took it to Vogue Men's Wear & Tailoring as my last resort thinking this store was going to not want to take it on either. Well I was shocked, they took the dress without thinking twice, measured me right away and the dress was done within two weeks! It was perfectly done, I mean perfect!! The length was the exactly as we talked and measured. I can't begin to express the Gratitude as a Bride to have my dress fit me perfectly on one of my most important days of my life!! Also my Husbands suit and his grooms men suits were on time, mint condition and were perfect fits as well!!! The gentleman there (Nick) is very talented and precise, the quality of the clothing I saw for men are top of the line material and the prices are amazing! I buy for my husband there all the time!

The dress was an a-line with no waist it did not have to be pinned. Just one inch in on either side. She did hem it but I do could not tell if she took it in the sides as fit felt the same and the stiching did not look any different! After all this she charged me 74.00!! WARNING - stay away.

I went to Lillian with a suit that I needed tailored for an event. I mentioned the date I needed…read moreit, and she said it was no problem. The suit was too big, both pants and jacket, and needed to be adjusted. Lillian was friendly and took measurements, gave me a price, and I went on my way. She asked me to come in a few days before I needed it to do final measurements to see if there were any changes necessary. She did not get me to try on the pants, and said they were fine. I tried on the jacket and there seemed to be very little change. I mentioned that I thought it needed to be quite a bit smaller. She said okay, that she could take it in more, and then I left. When it came time to pick up the suit, I went in and tried it on. The pants were incredibly baggy, a few inches too loose in the waist, and a total disappointment. The jacket was also too big. Wearing the suit, I looked like a child who dressed up in his father's clothes. I mentioned that I thought it was too big, and she said I was wrong, that it fit me well. I was disappointed, but thought maybe I was being too judgmental. I paid (which I now regret doing) as I needed the suit for that evening, and took it home. Upon trying it on again at home, I realized it was not wearable. My girlfriend took a glance at it and immediately said that it was ill-fitting and I could not wear it in public. Within an hour of picking it up, I called Lillian and mentioned that I thought it was too large. She immediately became quite rude, said I was wrong, that it fit me, and that I needed another opinion. I said that my opinion was the only thing that mattered, and asked that she fix it or refund my money. At first she refused, saying that it fit me, and that if I wanted something different I should go somewhere else. Eventually she said I could bring it in "in two weeks" and then she rudely hung up on me. I decided that if she could not do the job the first time, she would not be able to do it a second time, so I let it go. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of work and the level of service I received when I mentioned my concerns. I am doubtful she did any work whatsoever on the pants, and while she did some work on the jacket, it is still not suitable at all. The experience was disappointing, a waste of $150, and left me with a suit that I now have to spend similar money to have someone fix. I would not recommend this shop.

I'm actually a little bit shocked that it hadn't been reviewed yet when I dropped off a couple pairs of pants the other day! It's a small shop on the upper level of Park Lane Mall found from the main entrance by hopping on the escalators or stairs off to the right -it's in the main hallway. The head tailor here has been my go-to for alterations on any piece of clothing that I just can't have messed up. Typically, this means hemming pricy denims down to my Smurf-life height without having to worry about them coming back too long, too short, or looking like I hemmed them myself. For an extra cost ($20 rather than the normal $8 for a hem), they'll do a euro hem which makes the bottom of your jeans look professionally finished rather than just folded up and shortened. Definitely worth it if you've invested in a great pair to start with. Not only that, but the tailor actually cares about the work he's doing. He'll take your measurements as per usual, but he'll also ask about the shoes you wear, how you stand regularly, whether you like them to run long, etc. Even for a simple hemming, Daniel's makes sure that it's done to suit you specifically. On Saturdays, appointments can be made for consultations on more complicated jobs which I haven't done before, but I have witnessed the change in my friends' wardrobes after getting run through this shop. I can't wait to bring in some okay-fitting stuff and leave with perfection!

Her tailoring business essentially operated out of a coat closet, but she was highly organized and generally just a sweet lady. Not so anymore... Sadly, Elizabeth seems to have sold her Tailoring shop, and the results aren't good. I will give you a few details as to how this operation seems to have changed. First off- I was a little put off by the new owners over use of the terms 'sweetie' and 'honey' - you don't want to feel creeped out by the middle aged man taking your measurements... The other disappointment was that my clothes were not ready for the pick up date I had been told... on top of this, I had to try the pants on again so he could measure the hem and while I waited for him to come measure me, he got into an altercation with another customer that ended with him asking her to leave and never come back. Awkward! - All in all, this place was great when it was Elizabeth's Tailoring shop but it isn't anymore and I think i'll be trying out new tailors in future.
