Dillard’s Clearance Center

This place is a hidden gem. If you don’t mind digging, and avoid a fitting area at all costs. If you’re trying on something expensive, which would be hard in this place. Then get a fitting room, but there’s only one. The items I found here were designer bargains. I am talking about a 100% cashmere sweater for 25.00. The place isn’t crowded either! Where else can you find an outlet store that’s easy to shop at?

Be prepared to spend a good chunk of time in here. You also have to be in the mood to dig and sift though every. Single. Rack. You’ll find tons of duds but also some great brand name stuff for a steal. There was only one fitting room, which was a mess of people on a Saturday afternoon and it smelled. But what can you do if everything is final sale — be sure you love it! Found a $ 250 dress for $ 40, with a few minor defects.

This Dillard’s, to me, is designer clothes-​are-​super-​discounted heaven. I have walked out of there with 4 beautiful designer men’s collard shirts that originally sell for over 90 Dollars each (Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, etc.) for a total — yes, total price — of 30 dollars with their specials. Hit it on the right day and get a buy-​one-​get-​one-​free deal. It takes a while to dig and find the gems, but with all those racks of discounted clothes, you will find something to bring back. Not many people are here, which means quiet shopping. Do be aware that they have a no-​returns/​exchange policy, so try on the clothes before you buy. You won’t find a place in Louisiana like this Dillard’s outlet. Highly recommended. PS: Thank you to management for not putting any loud music in the background while customers shop unlike at Macy’s. I find the music that these places play is quite loud and, frankly, annoying. So thank you!

Since I have started coming here, I find it hard to shop anywhere else. Even Walmart clothes look expensive to me.
This place is awesome, as long as you set aside a large chunk of time in a day towards being there and don’t mind looking through endless racks. Nothing is very organized, except for your basic «ladies» or «shoes» sections. Nobody is really walking around talking to customers; it’s just not that type of experience.
What you do find are awesome deals on all of your favorite brands that Dillard’s carries. I have been to the regular Dillard’s one week and seen the same dress 70% off at this Dillard’s. You know the quality of the clothes are good and they are all of the brands you know and love.
If you are a man or have any men in your life, this is your store. So much great clothing for men, including ties and suits.
Not many accessories here, but I’m not complaining. Go check it out!

I LOVE this Dillard’s. And I HATE shopping. It’s the clearance Dillard’s, so everything is on sale (even moreso during the week), and I don’t much care if it’s «last season» clothes. I like that all the racks are organized by size and are easy to follow. I go in, get what I need, and get out. I buy all my business casual clothes here now.

You just can’t beat these bargains… if you have to the time to search out something you might need, you’ll love the prices. And if your timing is really good, you might hit one of their «take an addition 40% of 50% off lowest marked price. Then you won’t believe what your getting for such low prices. I love going to this store. I love Dillards & was a regular customer when they were at Clearview but I really don’t like trekking all the way down to Lakeside. So the one in Esplanade is fine with me.

This is a permanent clearance center. This weekend they had an extra 40% off!
I got NAME BRAND items for around 75% off. A Jessica Simpson dress, Giani Bini shirts, Michael Kors shirt, etc.
You have to DIG, but you will find some great stuff.

I’m all about bargains and this store certainly has them!!! No, you won’t have sales people helping you much, but for the prices you get things at, who cares… lol! I’ve gotten many designer items at a steal here. The clothes and shoes are already at a discount, but at certain times, they even discount the discount price! Yes, you really have to look and the racks are filled but if you have the time and patience, it’s a win — win for your wallet!!!

It’s a tale as old as time, «You get what you pay for»
Are you looking for a store with a stunning selection AND excellent customer service? Then I am sure you don’t mind paying upwards of $ 150 for a cocktail dress.
If you want a great quality dress for $ 25, then you are going to have to cut back on fancy things like organization and customer service and rough it over at the Dillards Clearance center. I like nice things, but I am ballin’ on a budget.
What I mean by organization:
They do their best. They have it organized by section such as tops/​dresses/​junior dresses/​ect. ect. Then they go ahead and break it down by size. This is not really maintained. I never saw anyone going through the racks and organizing anything. I saw many larges on the small rack and many mediums on the large rack. If this sort of shopping gives you anxiety I recommend you stay far away. Shopping here is really a crap shoot.
What I mean by customer service:
Well, to put it bluntly, there isn’t any. I am not saying that the employees are rude, because they are quite the contrary. There is someone tending the fitting rooms and someone working the registers and that is it. You will not find a loyal subject to help you find something in your size. You are on your own, sista!
I recommend going here when you don’t really need anything. The seemingly endless racks can be overwhelming. My best hauls are when I come just because I need a few pieces to freshen up my closet. I take my time and am able to sift through everything. (Think garage sale or thrift store but with new stuff)
I will share my recent haul (because its THAT brag-​able :)
Gianni Bini dress #1…Original price — $ 129.00 What I paid — $ 22.57
Gianni Bini dress #2…Original price — $ 129.00 What I paid — $ 22.57
French Connection dress… Original price — $ 188.00 What I paid — $ 32.90
Chelsea & Violet dress… Original price — $ 98.00 What I paid — $ 17.15
A few disclaimers. Try it on, everything is final sale! Merchandise is sold as is. See belt loops, but no belt? Tough toenails. See a glaring stain? Oh well! This is fend-​for-​yourself shopping and its not glamorous by any means, but if you can hang with the vets you will come away with some amazing finds at a fraction of the retail price.

This store is my guilty pleasure. I’ve scored many $ 100 dresses for $ 30 or less here.
I do wish, however, that their hours were better. I think some nights they close at 6 or 7 and I’ve driven all the way out there on some days and the whole store was closed. Also, there’s always a line to the dressing room and sometimes there’s only one open in the whole store.

Greatest place ever! The clothing is all brand new, but at huge discounts. When Dillard’s cannot sell things in store they mark it down 30% then 40% then 70%. Whatever is left comes to this store. Last time I was there they had everything marked an additional 50% off. I got a brand new Michael Kors jacket that ussually runs around $ 250 for $ 30. If you enjoy thrift stores then you will enjoy this place. The clothing is organized by size and style, but you really have to dig to find the good stuff. This place ROCKED!!!

Great place for the combination of quality clothing for bargain prices!
It really cannot be beat. Better prices than even tjmaxx. The drawbacks:
1. the fitting rooms are sparse and usually packed.
2. Restroom is located in the second floor and can only be accessed by elevator
3. You may not be able to find a certain item in your size
These are pretty normal negatives for clearance sale places. Altogether — great prices and pretty friendly employees.

This store is NOT closing, its a permanent Dillard’s clearance store.

Why does this store exist? This is a crap hole if ever there was one! Store is not set up in any particular order, stuff is hard to find, extremely out of date stuff! I kmow it’s housing close outs but it’s a waste! Hate even walking through it to get in the mall! No thanks!

Not closing!!! This is a Dillard’s outlet. They have lots and lots and lots of inventory. I particularly like their shoe selection. There are also tons of great Calvin Klein dresses for work and blazers and things like that.
There isn’t a good selection of purses, accessories, or denim. Also, there really isn’t a good selction of some of the higher end brands Dillard’s carries sometimes — there is very little Free People, BCBG… Still it’s a great store for discounted clothes.

closing

I am SOO sad to see Dillard’s leaving especially after the new Target has brought in so much traffic to the Esplanade Mall. Now I have to brave the behemoth that is the 3 story Lakeside store BOOOOO! Oh well in the final days I will be enjoying the 20−70% off discounts!
FAREWELL DILLARD’S YOU WILL BE MISSED!
I am curious to see what other anchor store will take it’s place.

We were happy to learn that there was a Dillards near our hotel on our recent visit to New Orleans. Dillards was a favorite store when we lived in Des Moines, IA and we have missed it ever since we moved to Southern California several years ago. Although Dillards does have online shopping available, we have found the selection and prices are not as good as those found in their stores.
Needless to say, we did do a little shopping there and found some attractive, reasonably priced clothes, especially among some of their house brands. Also, the personnel were friendly and helpful.

Ahhhh! Local store are supposed to be so much greater than the big busy ones! Not the case. the employees are great! Why wouldn’t they be? They all work on commission. Hey, that’s cool with me. Commission is a great motivator! Now, when you have to actually speak to someone in the office, say a manager or receptionist… ewwww. All downhill from there. The receptionist likes to hang up on people. Don’t bother asking for a manager! The receptionist is screeening all the calls! hehe
Okay, so recap! Commissioned based employees — Great! Over the stars service! Clerica staff, managerial staff, i.e. non commissioned based — not so great. Bad.
