I recently discovered Akira online and to my surprise they do not disappoint…read more The clothing are exactly as described and the quality is superb. No defects and no need to size up. I literally ordered something the day before a holiday and receive a large order 2 days later. Customer service is really nice on the phone and tracking is very easy I have since ordered a larger order and in 2 days it arrived again. I did not pay for any shipping it was free for any purchase over 75.00 Akira is always having a sale of some sort. I just notice while browsing. Every piece I bought was excellent quality much better than H&M and will fit a curvy woman body. The great part is they are located in Chicago so American made and no waiting for 2 weeks for something made in a place I can't pronounce. Akira is fast, excellent quality and I can't wait for a store to open in NYC I highly recommend.

I walked into the Southlake Mall looking for an outfit tonight, I do not live in Indiana. Upon…read morewalking into the Hot Topic I was greeted by an employee while looking at tights/fishnets. I was still contemplating which fishnets to pick, and she came back not even 15 seconds later asking if I needed help. I said no thank you. After picking the pair I wanted, I turned around to look at the clothes behind me on the wall, and was just perusing. She then came back immediately and asked if I needed anything AGAIN or if I wanted anything off the wall. This was all under the span of like, two minutes. I said no and she left but I could see her kind of circling around where I was standing. Some other customers were helped here and there. I finally needed help getting something down. She got it and took my tights to the register while I tried on my skirt, didn't fit, I put it back. I went to look at shirts. I am helped by another lady who gets the shirt down, it is too big - doesn't fit. I see these two associates talking while glancing at me as I leave the dressing room looking for something else of my style before deciding to leave while only purchasing my tights. As I was last looking, they were both hovering around me. Was the idea that I was going to steal from the second I walked into the door? I had no big bag in me, I don't think I acted suspiciously, and this behavior started the second I started looking at items in the store. I hate to scream "could this be racism", but I am Black, and both associates were White. Also, Hot Topic's fashion has just fallen off. It used to be so cool and edgy but now it's all tiktok/mushroom stuff. With the occasional "I can see this was inspired by Wednesday Addams"

5 Stars - A Game-Changing Experience at DXL Merrillville!…read more I want to take a moment to give a huge thank you to the incredible team at DXL in Merrillville--especially Connie and Scott--for completely changing my day for the better. After feeling ignored by four associates at Men's Wearhouse, my wife and I decided to head over to DXL. I've shopped at DXL before, but this visit was different--I needed my measurements taken. To my surprise, not only did they offer to take them, but they also had cutting-edge computer scanning technology to do it! Connie, who is an absolute pro at what she does, gave me the option to either go with the classic measuring tape or try out the scan. Naturally, I went with the tech--and Connie guided me through every step. But it didn't stop there. Once the measurements were done, Connie's true gift shined--she put together a variety of looks that I would have never thought of myself. I have several upcoming events, and she gave me stylish, versatile outfit combinations that just worked. Her sense of style, her attention to what flatters every body type, and her ability to pair colors and patterns is next-level. I walked out feeling confident and excited about my new wardrobe. Then we met Scott, who was also fantastic. What really stood out was when Scott--without us saying a word--apologized for the experience we had at Men's Wearhouse. I told him honestly: I'm glad they ignored us... because it brought us to DXL where Connie blew us away. Thanks to Connie and Scott, building a wardrobe for this new season in my life isn't a stress--it's something I'm now excited about. Connie has gained a customer for life.

I'd suggest a fitting if you've never done one.
