Met Irma -owner of the place (second generation downtown biz owner) what a hoot! Turns out i ended up buying a hot Polka Dotted number for night out on the Town and a few accessories (hats,jewelry,scarves). I make it a point to go in every week to check the selection of the latest baubles and such. Now shes added a $1 table - I load up! Like the fact that shes open past 6 when all the other shops close- that way you can stop in before or after cocktails downtown.

I cannot say enough great things about Shelly and Dressing Up! My wedding dress was pretty…read morecomplicated--with intricate beading, multiple layers, and a tricky length--but Shelly handled it all with such skill and care. She transformed my dress to fit me like it was custom-made, and I felt absolutely amazing in it! What really stood out was how reasonable her pricing was. While other places quoted me outrageous amounts because of how complex the dress was, Shelly was incredibly fair. She genuinely believes that brides shouldn't have to pay a fortune for alterations, and that mindset is so refreshing and appreciated. Her work is meticulous, her attitude is kind and supportive, and the entire experience was stress-free. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows what they're doing, I highly recommend Shelly and Dressing Up! I definitely have recommended her to a lot of my other bridal friends! I will definitely be coming back to her for more tailoring needs!

They have a ton of stuff that made my gothy heart throb! Shoes, shorts, jackets, pants, purses, jewelry, stuffies, crystals and incense. What more could an alternative style girlie want?! I grabbed some jewelry, a healing crystal necklace, some incense. Found what I was looking for, and then some! It's a sea of black clothing when you walk in- love it!! They had limited plus sizes, otherwise I would have gotten some clothes. Super fun store! Great selection! Prices were steep, but how often to you find a unique store like this?! Service was fine.

I'm going through the racks and looking at all the dresses at which point the owner woman comes up to me and ask me if I need help and I describe what I'm looking for and she of course knows her store and what she carries in-store. Wanting to make a sake she says that there is no dress like that there but she can help me order one I told her I would need it the day of. She asks me if its for my mom, to which I say "no, it's for me". Her face is in disgust which then turns to laughing at me in ridicule. My friend who had come to help me, Mikey, than said to her that I'm very pleasing to the eye and if I want to see a photo. "Oh god, please no" is her answer. I may have crossed a line when I looked at her and said "I hope all your dresses burn down". Homophobia. It's not cute, DAHHLLLINNGG

I can't really knock the service, the lady behind the counter really did try her best. More so then…read moreanywhere else I've been. And let's face it, dressing a fat woman is hard to do. But their dresses are cheaply made and even the woman who worked there admitted they ran small. In most stores I wear a size 22, which is about a 2X, but their 2X would be more like a 16 or smaller. Even their 4 and 5 Xs didn't fit me. One was too big, the other wouldn't zip up. I can understand the dressing room rules, especially the part about men not standing around them - there's no doors, just curtains, and pull as I would, there was still an inch gap on either side. In the end I felt bad because I left with nothing. However, what could I do? Most dresses didn't fit. The ones that did were so huge even on a fatty like me I could've fit an average size woman in there with me. One thing I don't get, and even the saleswoman agreed with me that it made no sense, why do formal dresses always have to be sleeveless? A lot of women, both skinny and fat, should not show their arms. I guess if I dropped more weight I could fit into their 4X, but at this time, I guess I'm stuck with having to have the dress I need custom made because this was the only store I've found that carried formal dresses that actually looked like formal gowns. (Even Nordstroms has failed me recently.) But their idea of a 2X is just too small.

I am so fortunate to have found Dorie/L'Mode! I was searching for emergency alterations, found this…read morebusiness in close proximity to me, and had a good feeling based off the positive reviews and detailed website. Dorie is so kind and accommodating. She was responsive over text, saw me very soon after I reached out, and finished my dress beautifully with the 2 week time frame she was given before the ceremony! I picked a dress from Lulus online and needed hemming, sleeves and bust adjusted, waist seam hidden, the sides let out, zipper replaced, a bustle added, and the dress has 3 layers. The pricing is detailed on the website and I expected to pay for the amount of work done in and in such a short amount of time. I am so satisfied with how my dress came out - it fit like a glove and made me feel beautiful, so any pricing felt worth it to me. Dorie is clearly an expert who loves her craft! Plus she has such a fun personality. Thank you again! Photo credit: Blanca Ayala/Let's Build Memories

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with L, Mode Bridal Alterations! From the…read morevery first consultation to the final fitting, they made the entire alteration process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. I brought in my dream wedding dress knowing it needed quite a bit of work--hem adjustments, taking in the bodice, adding a bustle, and tweaking the straps, I had a 6 layer dress! Dorie immediately put me at ease with her warm demeanor, incredible attention to detail, and experience of bridal gowns. The final result was absolutely perfect. The dress fit like it was made just for me. It hugged in all the right places, was comfortable all day and night, and the bustle held up through hours of dancing. I had so many compliments, not just on the dress itself, but on how beautifully it fit. If you're looking for someone who is meticulous, kind, professional, and truly passionate about their craft, look no further. I'm so grateful they were part of my wedding journey.

Let me give some context: I'm a C5 quadriplegic in a…read morewheelchair. I've bought individual dress shirts, pants and full suits. All, which are made to fit a standing person well. Needless to say, those fits were not made for me..fabric gathered on my lap from the excess fabric, my coats and blazers pushed my silhouette up giving me large frumpy shoulders as well as made me looked frumpy at the waist. Pants were not made for wheelchair users in the sense that we need longer legs that won't ride up from sitting, wider waist line and room at the hips to accommodate "quad belly." Now for my experience at Premium Suit Bespoke Tailors. 1st off, the store is beautiful and welcoming. When I mentioned concerns to Ray and Eddie, they knew exactly what I was talking about and needed. They started with a base dress shirt and suit. They listened to my concerns and wants regarding fit and comfort. Everything was tailored exactly how I asked..the arms were tailored for a fitted look and feel. Because they were knowledgeable to what I needed he made sure to leave room for movement (reaching and bending of arms) without sacrificing the look and feel. The length of my coat was trimmed and rests on my lap so perfectly. The back was trimmed so I would not be sitting on excess fabric and be uncomfortable while wearing it. I was already discouraged on buying a new suit in fear of having the same soggy look I always had, Ray and Eddie made sure I looked and felt exactly how I wanted and was as comfortable as I needed to be. 10 out of 10 recommended for any wheelchair users who wants a suit specifically tailored to their bodies and movement needs. *Also, wheelchair parking right in front. ALWAYS A PLUS

In addition Eddie did the alterations on my wedding dress (taking in the bust, lining up the lace detail and adding a bustle) which both turned out amazing.
