Obviously not all the dresses are going to fit properly, no one really does, but she never once made me feel like I wasn't going to find something perfect! She asked some questions and quickly was able to give me several addresses to look at that we're beautiful. She was very encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. There were so many amazing selections. Maggie really took the time and made all the effort and it was an amazing experience.

BOOK THE APPOINTMENT!!!…read more This was the second shop I went wedding dress shopping at and I wish I made it my first one!! This experience was incredible and I cannot recommend this store enough. I worked with Mallory and even got to meet the owner, Maya. The service I received with Mallory (Mal) felt like a night and day difference when compared to the precious shop I went too. Mal listened to my concerns, my needs, and adjusted to find better selections when I wasn't even sure of what I wanted! I was torn between 2 dresses for different reasons. When I showed my concerns, Mal was able to talk me through my choices and helped me decide. Photo included is the dress I did not pick but hope someone else does!!! BOOK THE APPT, you WILL NOT REGRET IT!

As a bride who is excited to get married but is hating the planning process - I was dreading the…read moredress try on day. I looked into Brides by Young and was encouraged by the great reviews and that they specialize in plus size bridal dresses. What I couldn't possibly imagine was how this ended up being one of the best days of this whole wedding planning experience!!! I made an appointment and the team was great at sending reminders and sending all the need to know information. I was paired with Bonnie who went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my experience incredible. She (and many other staff members) have YEARS of experience and know how to find what you're looking for, stay in your budget, offer advice on what they think would flatter you, etc. Bonnie was incredibly patient as we tried on about 10 dresses. The entire time she was taking notes on what I liked and what I didn't and never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her and the team. Everyone worked so hard to make me and my family feel comfortable and welcomed. Like I said, I wasn't looking forward to this experience being sensitive about my body but the women truly made me feel so confident and beautiful. Their inventory is incredible and they really have something for everyone. Sincere thank you to Bonnie and everyone I worked with to make my day so special! Highly, highly recommend. My only silly recommendation is I wish they'd offer champagne if you choose a dress but we had enough when we got back home haha!

Their sample room is $1500 and under and the dress I found was not from the sample room but just over the $1500 budget. It was perfect, fit my body, and affordable. Lori and her team are patient and so kind. Lori asked for inspiration photos and we walked around the store looking at potential options before trying on. The atmosphere is calm and the actual dressing room is so spacious! The second dress I tried on ended up being my dress! Would definitely recommend.

I was told that any of the items that were purchased for me that were on sale, could not be returned at all. I received a small credit at the store and I felt as though the customer service was not adequate. It's as if receiving a store credit is not as serviceable as someone walking in off the street. I will use my credit and not return to this store again. Poor service and terrible return policy (especially as these were gifts!).

Located in a strip in Arlington Heights, though they have a big sign you can miss it if you're not looking for it. From tailoring wedding dresses, tux, pants and more. They offer recommendations on how to make it fit you perfectly and be confident in what you wear. Highly recommend calling first, they may not always answer right away but they do always call back. When you have an appointment, make sure you come a little early to account for time to get your garment on. Then bing, bang, boom they have you all measured and you're on your merry way. All in all, I highly recommend Sylvia's and will be coming back for future tailoring needs!
