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!

I began my alterations with Shelley back in February 2020, when my original wedding date was May…read more2020. We were so close to finishing our alterations until I had to postpone the wedding once the pandemic started. At that time, Shelley kindly offered to hold onto my two dresses at her place. After a year, once weddings slowly started resuming, I reached out and told her I would pick it up to make room for her other clients, and she left detailed notes inside my garment bag so that we'd know where we had left off, and how much of the fees had already been paid. I reached out to her assistant in January 2022, and was easily able to resume where we left off with alterations. And I finally just got married late February !! By the way, the fees that Shelley charges are absolutely reasonable and probably the lowest you could find anywhere! Best of all, Shelley is so kind and funny, and made me feel so comfortable every time I came to visit. She knows her stuff, and does great, honest work. Both of my dresses were hemmed and tailored so well, and I'm so grateful for her.

I haven't been to the Main Place for so long. Last time I came here was around last Christmas, also to pick up a phone order because they had the item in my size. But it was years before that last visit. The mall has changed a lot. This Macy's looks so much nicer now. It used to be so much older. Also found several other items at great prices while I was there. Well worth my drive.

I worked in the Fine Jewelry department myself when I was a young adult, so I'm very familiar with their jewelry cleaning and repair process. I recently stopped by the Fine Jewelry department at Macy's MainPlace Mall for help with a pair of small diamond hoop earrings I purchased from Macy's about six years ago. The clasp had gotten loose, and the gentleman helping me actually tried to adjust it himself first. After taking a closer look, he realized it needed a little more work and would probably have to be sent out for repair. Instead of automatically having me send them out through Macy's, he suggested I try a small jewelry repair shop inside the mall because he thought they could take care of it quicker and for less money. I'm so glad he did! They had my earrings repaired, cleaned and polished within about 15 minutes. Macy's may not have gotten the repair sale that day , but THIS is the kind of customer service I appreciate. He genuinely tried to help me find the easiest and most affordable solution instead of worrying about making a sale. Thank you to the gentleman in Fine Jewelry who helped me! Five stars for great customer service.

The way the employees treated me when I wanted to check out an item is ridiculous. She told me to return the item back to her as if I was going to steal it right in front of her so I tried it on and when I asked for another size there was immediate push back. I didn't event want to purchase my items afterwards, but I want to support small business. As a black woman I felt discrimination because other customers were helped with no issue but when I needed help I was met with looks and unfriendly attitudes. I don't think I'll shop here again unfortunately due to the staff, they create an unwelcoming environment.

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.

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 brought my wedding dress in for alterations on the hemline, bustle, and straps. My first appointment was at the end of May and picked it up the beginning of September for my wedding in NY in mid October. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a specialist because the first alterations place I brought my dress to prior to Dorie said they couldn't bustle because my dress is too heavy and couldn't shorten the hemline because it wasn't a straight edge... In short, Dorie and her team are miracle workers! After the initial consultation in May, I had my first/final fitting and was able to take the dress home in September. Some other things to note - her studio is within her living space so street parking on the weekend can be tough. She does suggest to park in the public parking lot across the street. She accepts cash or check before she starts any proper work, understandably so.
