Toula and Stella did a great job on my daughter's wedding dress. The dress had some difficult alteration to be done and Toula did a superb job! Thank you!

Toula truly saved my dress and my wedding day. After my original seamstress simply forgot to do the alterations necessary for my dress among other problems, Toula and her team squeezed me in 4 weeks before my wedding and the same day that I called. Granted, my case was an emergency situation so I doubt they usually do that but I am forever appreciate that they did. Sadly, all the alterations that had already been done by the original seamstress had been taken out by her out of spite and I was back to square one 4 weeks before it needed to look perfect. Needless to say I was in a PANIC! I live out of state and literally had this one fitting with her before I had to pick up my dress for the wedding. I was a little skeptical but she put me at ease and actually understood ALL the concerns I had about my dress and assured me that it would be perfect. Let me tell you that she was not lying. My dress fit me like a GLOVE and was absolutely perfect after 1 fitting- I tried it on 2 days before my wedding and she did a few slight adjustments but it was truly miraculous how much they did in one fitting. I highly recommend Ms. Couture for you wedding dress alterations. I know my dress would have never looked as good with another seamstress.

Went here based on reviews and was not dissapointed. I lost a TON of weight before my wedding and the entire dress (which had like eight layers of organza and lace) had to be resized from an 8 down to a 2. They were amazing, you could never tell it had been bigger, fit like a glove! Everything was done on time as promised! Totally reccomend!! (easy street parking too!)

Toula did an absolutely amazing job on altering my very complicated gown. I was so worried about having my dress altered due to the amount of beading and lace but once Toula got to work there was nothing to be nervous about. On the day of my wedding my dress fit like it was custom made for me. Although Toula could be considered pricier than other places I found that the difference was not that much more than what my dress shop would have charged and her work was absolutely worth the cost. In fact, I made the trip from the suburbs (Naperville) to Chicago for all my fittings and I still think it was well worth the time and money. I highly recommend Ms. Couture.

Toula was awesome, and the final product was exactly what I wanted. I ended up using Toula because my bridal shop was too far away, and I read her great reviews. I had a few minor changes I wanted to make to the dress to make it better, and when I went in Toula agreed the changes were necessary to make the dress better. I was happy to hear that because my mother kept telling me to leave it the alone. Each time I went into the shop the appointment was short and on time. Everyone there is very friendly. I had no doubt Toula knew exactly what she was doing, and trusted her from the first minute of meeting The dress was ready at the time I needed it, despite being a busy wedding weekend.

I thought the prices were very fair and were right on par with what the bridal shop would have charged me. I gladly paid the extra little money to not have to drive 45 minutes to the suburbs.

The rave reviews continue to rave. Intensely.

Tula (aka Ms. Couture) is simply the best wedding dress (or other fancy gown) seamstress that you can find. Her attention to detail is so refined and she does not settle for anything less than complete perfection.

I bought my dress off the rack at Ultimate Bride and it was literally 10 sizes too big (a girl goes a long way for a bargain - errrr). Tula meticulously took in every seam, made a flawless hem and created a perfect bustle with a whopping 19 (!) individually numbered ties. The dress fits perfectly now and looks like it was made especially for me. Truth is, it was pretty much made for me.

Hat's off to Tula. Highly recommended.

Toula was sweet, my dress was PERFECT - highly recommend! I have seen some negative reviews about Toula on yelp - brides saying she was bitchy, but I didn't experience even a hint of that. I did, however, witness a bride be way-out-of-line rude towards her and it makes me wonder who exactly is writing those reviews. Thank you Toula for making my dress so beautiful!!

I arrived in Chicago two days before my daughter's wedding with her dress that was purchased and altered in Colorado while she was visiting the previous Thanksgiving. I had had numerous problems with the seamstress in CO and was worried about how the dress would fit and it didn't. I couldn't even zip it closed and my daughter is about a size 6. We were referred to Toula at Ms. Couture by a bridal store. We called Ms. Couture and explained our predicament and they agreed to see us that afternoon. Toula had to let the dress out, move the straps and redo the bodice to make the dress fit and look properly. She did all of this in 24 hours!!! Her alterations made the dress fit but also it looked so much better. Toula averted a complete meltdown by my daughter and me. I cannot say enough about Ms. Couture. I would recommend them to every bride in the Chicago area.

Toula altered my wedding dress and did such a fabulous job. I had ordered my wedding dress from ebay (I know, you might think I'm crazy - but it was good quality and affordable). I just needed to fit it to me.

Toula probably had to take 1-2 inches off all over (bust, waist, hips), added boning to the bodice, and did a two-tier french bustle. All of these alterations cost around $225. She was always on time and friendly. There was no drama with my dress not being ready - as other posters on yelp complained about. I went for my first fitting at the end of October, had my final fitting Dec 3 and then picked up the dress (and veil) steamed on Dec 9. I was a little nervous that I didn't have a multiple-step fitting, but that just wasn't necessary. And it was nice that my final fitting was just 1 week before the wedding. I had accidentally lost some weight, so she was able to take the hips in a little more. Then it fit perfectly. Everyone said how my dress "fit like a glove." I looooved my dress and a huge reason that I was so enamored was b/c it fit perfectly.

Although they didn't alter my wedding dress, they did alter a bridesmaid dress I wore 3 mos after giving birth.

Here's my review from Yelp:
I found Ms. Couture on Yelp while hunting for a tailor/seamstress to alter a bridesmaids dress for me. I'd recently had a baby and had ordered my dress while I was still pregnant. (I should also note that the shop I ordered it from is in Mpls and I had to give them my measurements over the phone and trust I would get the right size) I was very disheartened when I received the dress and it was about a size too small.

Based on the two previous reviews, I decided to go to Ms. Couture because they specialize in bridal wear and I didn't want the dress screwed up by someone who didn't have much experience with this stuff. I ended up being late, but they weren't busy (I was the only client there) and were nice enough to lock up shop so I didn't have to worry about leaving the baby asleep in her stroller in the front of the small store while I put on the dress in the one of the changing rooms. Once in the dress, she assessed my problem and said she could use the shawl that came with it to add extra panels to the dress.

At the second fitting, the dress fit beautifully and you couldn't even tell that anything had been added to the dress! She still found a couple small adjustments to make the dress fit even better and raised the hemline. Up to that point I was extremely happy with the service, but was concerned with the price since other shops (ie, David's Bridal) charge an arm and a leg for this kind of work. When she told me how much it would be, I was floored bc it was so cheap! I threw in an extra $10 bc I knew I was getting such a good deal for the quality and amt of work she was doing.

All in all, it's a little family owned business that is extremely friendly and understanding and does awesome work. She even taught me the proper way to lace up the back!
