The selection is very workable for men and for women. “We’ve always been heavily involved in the Indian casinos and became a member of NIGA to be more involved in the needs of the tribes and their ongoing growth. “Casinos started us on our upscale and cocktail line of uniforms. We work very closely with the wardrobe departments and listen to their specific needs. Since we don’t have any minimums or contracts and our usual turnaround time is seven to 10 business days, they are able to order samples, check the quality and outfit their staff quickly – and all of our fabrics are uniform quality and never require dry cleaning.” Class Act Uniforms lists its cocktail bodices, bolero jackets with dresses, specialty vests and corsets are their bestselling uniforms to the casino industry. “We’ve made corsets a little more stylish with the addition of the back piece under the corset laces so the bare back is not showing,” Gallant said.
