I had a great experience with getting my BHLDN dress altered here. My dress had lots of tulle and was made for someone really tall, but they were able to make it work and suit my small frame. The process was easy. I had 3 fittings that were spaced out starting in early March. Colleen and Liz were nice and easy to work with. I even got my beautiful and unique shoes here and some jewelry for my MOH and me. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get your wedding dress altered.

I bought my dress at BHLDN and it needed a lot of work to get it to my size. The ladies at Silver Moon were SO helpful. I had two fittings - the first one they sized my waist, clipped the straps, and recommended a small boning for the sides so that it didn't look as slouchy. The second fitting they measured and cut the length (they did this on the second trip to ensure that I had my bridal shoes) and showed me what kind of bustles were possible. I would highly recommend!

The best wedding dress shopping experience ever! I went in looking for a vintage dress that wasn't necessarily a "wedding dress" (which meant I didn't have to book an appointment) and within an hour I had tried on a few dresses and found the perfect dress (a 1960s vintage linen dress for only $99!!) and also had it pinned for a few alterations! Doesn't get easier than that! I came back a couple of weeks later to check the fitting and at the same time we talked about a custom veil which they designed then and there. A sash was also suggested which I originally didn't think I needed, but once we put one on it really lifted the outfit (of course, these guys are professionals they know what they're doing haha). One final fitting of the dress a week later, tried on the fitted sash and new custom veil and the outfit was perfect! Thank you Silver Moon!

Had an amazing experience working with the ladies at Silver Moon for alterations on my wedding dress. (Pre-COVID) had 5 in person meetings to adjust and add to my dress. They had great ideas and options for what we could do to make my dress perfect for me. They are very precise and I trusted them fully with my dress. Would highly recommend!

Final dress - puckering bust seam

I had a very difficult time with alterations here. This shop was recommended by BHLDN, where I got my dress, but I would recommend BHLDN brides go elsewhere. At my first appointment, we talked through the hem and bustle, and they recommended bringing in the bust. When I came back for my fitting, the hem was beautiful, and the bustle worked well (although it was 5 points, not the 3 points we discussed). However, the seams at the bust were pulling and puckering - it looked like it had been taken in but not sewn back straight. I ended coming in a total of seven times to try and fix the bust. At one point, they cut the boning to different lengths on the left and right side, so I had a cone bra shape on my left and a rounded shape on my right. Things we discussed often weren't fixed between visits. For example, after the first time I came in for a fitting with the lopsided boning, we talked through exactly what they would do to fix it. When I came back, it was just as lopsided. I eventually gave up on the seams not puckering, and picked up the dress a very stressful four days before my wedding when at least my boobs looked mostly the same on both sides. They ended up not charging me for the bust alterations, but since they'd added two points to the bustle my total was only ~$50 less than my original quote.

Look at the nice, jaunty angle of those hat feathers :-) (dress alterations included taking in collar and sides around bust)

I had my vintage wedding dress altered here, and my experience was wonderful. Very affordable (although, truth be told, the dress fit pretty well to begin with - I imagine where women end up spending a ton is when they find a dress that needs to be 're-worked' to fit their body), and such a nice atmosphere. The woman who helped me was always really friendly and professional, and when I also brought in my mother's bridal hat/veil to be changed for my own use, I was really impressed with how she deftly arranged some feathers to create a different and beautiful look. Also, I enjoyed how pricing was discussed - nothing hidden, very open about what costs what. I really enjoyed working with Silver Moon on my alterations!

Two different shapes In the chest

I'm actually really sad I'm posting this, but also never want this to happen to someone else a week before their wedding. I went into Silver Moon a few months ago to start alterations for my dress. It's a pretty easy process to get started and we even have a few dates before the wedding to come in and check on the dress. After my first appointment I came back and I had one concern about some wrinkling/pulling in the front of my dress and I expressed that I'm not a very picky person, but if the pulling that's happening is still there next time i wouldn't be very happy. (It was only on one side so the each side looked like it was sitting very different on my chest) I came back and it was still there and they really had no explanation other than what they have already done to the dress.. which didn't make me feel very good because it was still apparent that it hadn't gotten better. So I had to come back one more time so they can do more work. When I came back I was excited to pick up my dress! We are about a week out from our wedding, but it wasn't fixed it was almost made worse ): I will post pictures below. I think (I'm no professional in this field) that because of all the work done to the one side it created a tightness and the shapes of each side were completely different (worse than before), there was slight staining where they worked and my dress began to pull. They offered me a full refund, and I will be taking my dress somewhere else so hopefully it can be fixed in the next week! Wish me luck!!

Sliver Moon was the perfect place to go for all of my bridal needs. Working with Liz was a dream come true. I was on the fence about wearing a veil, I tried on a few and was not comfortable in them. I discussed with Liz and explained to her I wanted the traditional feel without being too bridal, if that makes any sense! She found the perfect simple veil that gave me that combination of drama and tradition without feeling over the top. In addition, the first pair of earrings and hairpiece Liz showed me I fell in love with! AND the SHOES!!! There are no words for how much I loved the shoes. My dress was platinum gray and immediately Liz knew the perfect shoe. Liz and her team have such incredible attention to detail and they really care. Down to earth and an eye for the perfect look.

Magic is the only way I know how to describe the alteration process at Silver Moon. I came in with a BHLDN dress which was a bit too snug around my hips and curves. They had worked with the dress previously and knew exactly what to do. They also had great recommendations for how the dress looked best bustled. The appointment didn't take very long, but made me feel extremely comfortable that my dress was in knowledgeable and capable hands. I came back just a few short weeks later and tried on the dress - a perfect fit. The bustle was gorgeous and easy to use. I was comfortable all day and cannot imagine how they did such a beautiful job at such an incredibly reasonable price.

Ace is the perfect spot to pick up a trend. If you aren't sure how long that piece will be in style, surely you can drop $10 on a bold statement necklace and not have buyer's remorse. There was also a lot of big, sparkly stuff which is perfect for prom, homecoming, weddings, or wannabe ballers. Not to fret, there is a huge selection of post earrings from simple CZ studs to hearts, stars, and Eiffel Towers. I thought I would easily spend $30 or more here, but I walked out with a $4 silvertone necklace with sparkly pyramids. It's simple, but sort of trendy, so the price can't be beat. I can't speak for the quality, as I have only worn it once, but it is still shining and in one piece. It held up to my friend's baby pulling lightly on it. Even if the necklace "turns" and the metal doesn't stay shiny, I'm not going to be entirely surprised or disappointed. It was four measly dollars. Some of the items were goofy like the "BLACK GIRLS ARE HOT" earrings that each were bigger than the palm of my hand, as well as the bulky imitation Hello Kitty necklaces. Some of the necklace come on snake chains, and if you haven't experienced a snake chain with long hair - watch out, they pull your hair out! So you might want to switch the chains if you buy a necklace here. Some of the aisles on one end of the store, stocked with handbags and scarves, were rather bare and made the place look junky and picked over. Ace is CASH ONLY. There is a credit card minimum, but I believe it is $30. It is easy to reach $30, but bring cash just in case.

Chinatown

They're cute, I was stoked they had my size (w 11), and I remember the price was reasonable. I stopped in today looking for a Chinese style baby outfit. Weird request I guess. I didn't realize 90% of their inventory is traditional silk Chinese dress/outfits for kids (maybe 2 y/o) to adult. The woman working there stopped what she was doing, greeted me, and answered my question. She wasn't excessively friendly, but the friendliest shop employee I've encountered in Chinatown, ever, so I have to mention it! I'm sure I'll be back in a few years when I'm shopping for traditional dress for a larger child.

We were shocked, confused, and honestly embarrassed, in public for something we didn't do. They didn't ask politely or explain anything. They just assumed. No proof. No apology. nothing We cooperated and showed them we had nothing, and instead of admitting their mistake, they gave us attitude and let us go like we were guilty. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially when you treat young customers like criminals just because we're teens or don't "look" like your usual shoppers. We came to shop, not to be profiled or harassed. I will not be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone who values basic respect.
