By the 1990s, it was selling thousands of dresses a year after Schachter worked to transform the industry by encouraging designers with other specializations to put their creativity to work on wedding dresses and by searching the world for new trends and designs. Also in the 1990s, the company changed ownership several times while continuing to capitalize on the Kleinfeld name. That reputation helped it to become the setting in 2007 for the reality show "Say Yes to the Dress." The store had moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan only two years earlier.
The New York Times quoted Schachter's son, Robert, as saying that her death resulted from an intestinal blockage.
