Couture Bridal
in Chicago: The Perfect Fit for Your Day
For the Bride Who
Wants More
Many brides don’t realize that not all tailors specialize in bridal couture. I've had the heartbreaking experience of seeing gowns improperly altered, and it’s something no bride should have to go through. That's why I am so passionate about educating brides and working with them from the beginning. Your dress deserves the very best from the start.
I specialize in the kind of intricate work others turn away. I love the challenge of major reconstructions and redesigns, bringing a bride's unique dream to life with couture-level craftsmanship. If your gown requires more than a standard hem, you’ve come to the right place for wedding dress alterations in the Chicago area.
