There's actually a local FB group for buying/selling wedding stuff, and there are a lot of dresses for sale there! I'll see if I can't find a link. I actually have a dress I've never worn that I need to list there!

Try Holy Clothing. They have beautiful dresses there. Unless it's an actual wedding dress you're looking for.

Try Wedding Belles in Barrington. They have sample dresses marked down 10 to 70% off. I got mine there years ago; it was a great experience and the dress was stunning.

Renttherunway.com ! I wore my grandmother's gown for ceremony and rented my reception dress off of rent the runway for under $75.
I'm looking for a great tailor for women's clothes in the area. Any recommendations? My luck with the usual dry cleaner options hasn't always been good.

Campton Cleaners in Wasco, I have used them for suit coats jeans hemming and more.
Mary S. replied:
Italian Tailor Shop on State Street, downtown Geneva. Good work, not particularly pleasant, though. I use the cleaners next to Munchie P's on State Street, too - she does all her own sewing.

I had a suede jacket that no longer fit me (too big), it fit me 50 lbs ago. I took it too Greg's shoe repair but they had to outsource it for $100.00. By accident I found a small business owner in downtown St. Charles that took on the task for $35.00 and did a magnificent job. I never in my wildest thought it would look factory good. It's a woman's clothing boutique on 2nd Ave. below is her info and my jacket. She not only took in the shoulders and body, she also took in the arms which I still have no idea how she did it. I realize my jacket isn't a dress but I'm telling you she worked wonders. Directions In Clothing Inc 202 Cedar Ave, St Charles, IL 60174 (630) 584-1997 https://goo.gl/maps/gXMdJ7uZdmx
