CHOOSE TANG'S! Tang took my wedding dress and made it fit me perfectly exactly how I envisioned. My wedding was postponed about a year and a half, meaning I had several appointments I ended up rescheduling to make sure I only had to get it fitted once. I also live in Chicago, which made pandemic travel and fittings a little tough. Her team worked with me, assured me they would make it happen even if I didn't have the ideal amount of time between fittings and it just took so much stress off of the already stressful time. My dress was also too big, but Tang was able to make it look like

I had my wedding dress alterations done at Tangs. They did a phenomenal job - I had purchased my dress from another boutique, but at my first appointment Tang immediately knew what to do! She is super detail-oriented and was able to make just the right adjustments for the dress so that it fit me perfectly. Im so happy with how my dress turned out!

In December 2020, Sandi helped me find my dream wedding dress at Tangs! With her joyful personality and knowledge of all the dresses, she made the experience an unforgettable one for my mom and me and helped me commit to a dress! From there, Tangs alterations really blew us away. Any concerns I had about the dress, she had a fix for! Not only did she alter the neckline, she constructed new straps for the dress that seamlessly matched the design. I am so grateful for her attention to detail and how comfortable she made me feel with my questions. I am so glad I shopped for my dress at Tangs

Brought my wedding dress and later a brides maids dress here. The ladies are very easy to work with, they listen to what you want, and thoroughly explain their recommendations. The guy who works the register is very kind (even if he talks super slow). I will continue to return.

My best friend is getting married and chose to come her as her third option. We met Sandi at the secondary location and wow, we were HIGHLY IMPRESSED. Sandi showed tremendous knowledge and absolutely stayed within my friend's budget. She made it super fun and was honest and encouraging. She left such a wonderful impression. Thank you for helping my friend find HER DRESS!

Thank goodness I stumbled upon Tang's. I instantly knew this was where I would say yes to the dress and alterations! Tang's services are top notch! I live one hour away and would be more than happy to come back anytime for their exceptional services. I felt incredibly welcomed the moment I came through the door with my mom. Every step of the process was amazing. I cannot thank everyone at Tang's enough for their compassion, expertise, and unforgettable experience.

Tang's Bridal saved me! I had a last minute change of plans and needed my wedding gown altered a month before I had to fly to CA. I also added lace straps which were the perfect addition. I wanted extra fitted in the hips and she listened! Everything was smooth and professional. I loved that place so friendly and I was in great hands, I truly felt that from the start. I'm so glad with the result and would trust Tang 1000 times over.
