I recently had my wedding dress altered at Silver Moon, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Recommended by my bridal salon, Lovely Bride, Silver Moon truly lived up to i...
ts reputation.
I had several alterations done, including taking in the length and bust, as well as adding a bustle with 11 points since my dress had so many layers. Over the course of three appointments, the team at Silvermoon made me feel completely at ease. During the first visit, they carefully assessed my dress and discussed the alterations I had in mind. Not only did they listen to my ideas, but they also offered their own recommendations to ensure I looked even more beautiful in my dress. They provided different options for the alterations and bustle, even pinning them in place so I could visualize how everything would look.
By the time I came in for my second appointment, I had lost a little weight, and the top of my dress needed to be taken in further. The team was quick to make the necessary adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit. During the final fitting, the bustle was completed, and they asked me to bring one of my bridesmaids so they could show her exactly how to bustle my dress. This thoughtful gesture gave me peace of mind, knowing someone close to me would be able to handle it on the big day. They even gave me the extra fabric that was cut from my dress.
Silver Moon made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a place that will handle your wedding dress alterations with care and professionalism, I highly recommend Silver Moon!!

e best advice and suggestions as a tailor. My dress was vintage-inspired and form fitting, and she recommended the best shapewear, helped me decide on a train length, and put in the most beautiful French bustle that fit the era of the dress. She really knows her stuff and was so kind and patient on top of it. She also carries incredibly unique accessories and just *gets* the vision. If you're a person who is open to vintage styles, go check out Liz at Silver Moon FIRST before looking anywhere else for dresses (I honestly wish I would have!).

DN and Silver Moon was a recommended salon for alterations. I could not be happier with my dress and the experience. They are professional, experts in alterations and so kind. You can trust that they'll take great care of your gown and make sure you feel amazing in it!

a unique bride, unlike the other shop I visited. I enjoyed knowing that such a special flock was in very capable hands and that she enjoyed the gown in its orginal form aswell. I hope that you chose Silvermoon Bridal and become a unique bride like me.

exist, that there was nothing out there that was going to bring tears to my eyes when I tried it on. Wrong. At Silver Moon, I found a vintage 1940s satin dress that made me feel like Rita Hayworth. What's more, Liz and Colleen worked with me to alter the neckline to a more daring plunge, and custom-made a gorgeous silk veil to complete the look. They were incredibly kind and accommodating through multiple visits and last-minute panics, and they have phenomenal taste; I've returned to the shop for vintage dresses for events and found some beauties. At Silver Moon, you will find a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

ggestions. They were very detail oriented and even took my bridesmaid's dress back again for 1 last tweak when she wasn't comfortable. All of the dresses got so many compliments and the alterations turned out so beautiful! They did an amazing job!
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.
I worked with three different employees at Silver Moon-all were outstanding!
I had a really bad alterations experience with a different shop that pretty much ruined the bottom h...

The women at Silver Moon saved the day! They were helpful, tried their best to keep me calm and got great work done with limited time.
My dress ended up being even better than what I hoped for! I highly recommend!
I knew the second I started planning my wedding that I didn't want a 'typical' wedding dress. The dresses I saw online and at my friends' weddings were beautiful, but they weren't ...
my style. But, not knowing where to find a unique dress, I began shopping in the typical bridal shops and trying on the typical dresses. I had found a picture in my mind of a vintage dress that had been altered to be backless with lots of layers of tulle, and it was beyond perfect. But as I showed that picture to the sales associates at the bridal stores, each one of them told me that my dream dress didn't exist, and that it would be completely unaffordable even if it did.
Discouraged, I started asking my friends where they found their vintage clothing, and one of them suggested Silver Moon Vintage. The second I walked in, I knew I was in heaven. This store was unlike any of the other three I had visited, and I became more and more excited as I browsed through the unique, vintage dresses. At the other stores, I had not found a single dress I liked, but at Silver Moon I found four. As I tried them on, I talked with Liz, the owner, about my vision and showed her the picture of my dream dress. Not only did she love my idea, but she was eager to make it a reality for me! Once I picked my dress, we began talking about how we could alter it from its original state (a strapless lace and tulle gown from the 50s) into what I had imagined, which included making it backless, altering the front, and adding straps.
The entire experience was perfect. Liz made me feel at ease and special - and since she only takes one client at a time (you need to make an appointment), I never felt rushed or like 'just another bride.' In addition, she is incredibly talented and confident, full of creativity, and eager to use her artistic abilities to make your dream a reality. It was an amazing experience and at the end of the day, cost less than the dresses I had been trying on at David's Bridal.
At my wedding, everyone commented that my dress was the most beautiful one they had ever seen, and I couldn't agree more. I felt stunning all day, and can't thank Liz and Silver Moon enough!
