The Outlet by Lulus - Chico, California

Only open Friday thru Sunday. $5 for everything. This is stuff that was discontinued on their website. Maybe some returns. No irregular or torn merchandise. Mostly short dresses. Very few tops (only white crop tops in my size (L/xl). Also limited selection of leotards (called "intimates"), rompers (called "bottoms"), convertible dresses and long formal dresses. Some very plain heels.

I bought two formal dresses (think bridesmaid style), a long sleeve wrap dress and a convertible dress. $20 plus tax. They don't accept cash, just cards. They're very busy on Saturdays. Usually a line to the changing rooms but the line goes quickly.

While the prices and the selection are good, the choice of music that is played throughout the store is not appropriate, especially for teen girls and young ladies who are primary customers there. I hope you consider your music choices and pick something more appropriate that does not include fowl and explicit language song after song.
Having being a regular customer in the past, I won’t be returning any time soon.

I got the perfect shoes for my wedding for $3! I bought a few more dresses because they were only $10 each, GREAT QUALITY! Employee’s were nice and it was quiet in the store on a Tuesday. I will definitely be back.

WOW! I just had the best experience at The Outlet! I made a trip from Sacramento just to shop here and, let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the trip! Ashley, Bianca, Lauren , Hannah, and Maya were incredibly helpful. I was concerned about going shopping solo, but Ashley and Bianca felt like friends giving me their honest input and pulled great options from the bins that I wouldn’t have picked for myself but they worked out great! Everyone working was incredibly friendly and helpful; exceptional customer service! I left with so many clothes for such an affordable price! I was shopping for an engagement shoot and left with great options for the photo shoot and so many more staple items. If you are on the fence about whether or not it’s worth the drive- DO IT. If you are wondering if it’s worth the wait outside to get in- IT IS! I am already looking forward to coming back- which is saying a lot because I typically hate shopping! Thank you all for such a great and special experience.

Since their fitting rooms are not open to the public customers have to struggle to try dresses on. And the store require customers to keep their clothes on to “protect” their merchandise. As my daughter was struggling to try a dress over her clothes, I see an employee coming in and out of their private bathroom trying different dresses, no mask... no clothes under to “protect” their merchandise......So, customers have to follow their rules but the store’s employees don’t? My daughter is a minor and still they couldn’t provide a private area for her to try some clothes.... not good...I’ll take my money to another store where I feel appreciated and I have the right to at least some privacy.

Bought around $300 worth (per Lulu’s online prices, which is the only place you can get this stuff otherwise) of merchandise for $54.86 today! It’s crazy awesome that everything is just $10 +tax. A friend of mine left today with a $99 dress, that she paid $10 for. To me, this makes the bins and the racks worth going through! The store is very clean and the employees are helpful and hospitable, but not so much that they’re in the way or bothersome. The clothes are sectioned out into bins by style and size with the exceptions of the shoes, which are racked on a wall to the right when you walk in, and the formal, full-length dresses that hang toward the back of the store near the changing rooms and the adjacent counter. The merchandise is primarily dresses in size small, but there are also healthy offering of extra small, medium, and large, just not quite as much so as the smalls. I’m regularly a small/medium and easily fit the small clothing here, and even some of the extra smalls so if that gives you an idea of what is available.

My daughter came home with two gorgeous prom dresses for $10 each. At those prices you can buy both and decide which one to wear later. Super happy!

Warning!!! They do not accept cash!!

I spent an hour of my precious day off to try on dresses for my date night this evening. I was refused at the counter because I didn't have a card. Now I have no dress to wear and I'm out of time.
