Our story

Where elegance meets individual style.

At ThomKat Boutique, we believe a woman should wear the dress—not let the dress wear her! Our goal is to help you look beautiful, feel confident, and shine in whatever you wear. Let us do what we do best: dress you from head to toe!

Established in 2021 in the heart of downtown Lombard, ThomKat Boutique was created to offer a unique shopping environment and a personalized experience unlike traditional retail shopping. Visit us Monday through Saturday during our regular business hours, or schedule a special private shopping appointment on Sundays.

However you choose to shop, you'll receive our signature TLR touch—personal attention, honest feedback, and a genuine commitment to helping you look and feel your very best. At ThomKat, it's not just about finding a beautiful outfit. It's about finding the perfect look that makes you feel amazing!

Important rental information

Please treat your rental with care!

Our gowns are special, and we want everyone to enjoy them. If a rental gown is damaged while in your possession, you will be responsible for purchasing it. The remaining balance, after credit for any rental payment as applicable, must be paid when the gown is due back at the boutique.

Gowns are rented only if they fit off the rack, and the prices on our website are purchase prices, not rental prices. Please ask us if you have any questions about our rental policies before taking your gown home: 630.615.0640.

Fashion with a purpose

Beautiful fashion deserves a second life!

ThomKat Boutique is committed to environmentally conscious fashion. We source our merchandise through a variety of channels, including consignment, boutique closings, and generous donations.

Giving back is just as important to us as dressing our customers. Gowns that we are unable to sell or repurpose are donated whenever possible to community organizations that help make special occasions possible for those who may not otherwise be able to afford them.

One organization close to our hearts is Willowbrook High School's Princess Closet, which helps provide gowns to students in need. We are proud to support our community and other organizations that share this mission.
