Kelly, who co-hosts What Not to Wear on TLC and The Chew on ABC, will arrive at 2:30 p.m. At 5 p.m., he will provide one-minute style consultations to the first 100 people to visit the store. The store opens at 10 a.m.
The new store is a joint venture between Kelly and Stitch It to combine the efforts of expert stylists with skilled tailors.
According to a news release, Perfect Fit works with both men and women and can work its magic with clothes just bought, that have hung in the closet for years or were found at a thrift store.

Rotary Donates Dictionaries
The Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club recently donated dictionaries to every third-grader in Harvey School District 152 and English Language Learners and English as a Second Language students at Tinley Park High School.
The dictionaries are multi-faceted, with sections about weights and measurements, biographies of the U.S. presidents and copies of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.
“Literacy has always been an important issue for Rotary International. At the local level, this project allows us to make an impact on those who live right here in our own back yard,” Karen Wegrzyn, president of the Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club, said in a release.
This is the fifth year the club has donated dictionaries to the Harvey School District and the second year it has donated dictionaries to students who are learning English as a second language.
For information about the club’s efforts and how you can join, contact Wegrzyn at 708-359-4715 or visit the club’s website at http://www.tinleyparkfrankfortrotary.com/.
The group meets at 7:15 a.m. every Thursday at Lincoln-Way North High School, 19900 S. Harlem Ave., Frankfort.
