I have been struggling to find my dream dress with just 5 months away from my wedding, and I'm just so blessed to find Alesia C's boutique. She offers custom made wedding dresses and provides very professional advice from a fashion designer's point of view. She is willing to listen to your preferences and will work with your budget. You can customize your own colors, fabrics, and lace types, and she will take notes and make sketches accordingly. The dress price also includes free alterations and can be made 2-3 months. This is everything I need. Alesia just takes away all the hassels with dress hunting and alterations! Will update with more photos when I receive my dress, but I'm very excited now!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Alesia, an exceptional bridal dress designer. She crafted a wedding dress that was both unique and flattering, perfectly capturing my vision. As a custom couture designer in Lake Forest, Illinois, Alesia’s reasonable pricing, flexibility, and sweet demeanor made the entire experience delightful. Her informative and personable approach, combined with her incredible talent, provided valuable insights throughout the process. Remarkably, she completed my dress in just 12 weeks, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Alesia to any bride seeking a personalized and exquisite gown.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Alesia C. Studio! Alesia has been phenomenal from the moment I met her at the Chicago Bridal Expo. We discussed her couture style and the possibility to design the dress of my dreams, and I couldn’t wait to set my appointment. When I arrived, we discussed fabrics, styles, and she crested an pencil sketch of a beautiful concept. After 10 weeks, I was nothing short of stunned the moment I saw my dress come to life for the first time. It truly was more than I could’ve hoped for. The detail and quality was absolutely exquisite. I can still barely believe it was my own couture gown brought to life, and tailored perfectly to make me feel like a true princess on my special day. Not only did she make my dreams come true by designing my dream dress, but she also made sure my husband and our entire wedding party was completely dressed, tailored, and accessorized! It was truly a dream. Would highly suggest!

If you’re in the market for a wedding dress, I highly recommend having Alesia design it for you. I had seen some wedding dresses that I liked but for one reason or another were just not quite right. I showed her some of these pictures and discussed the pros and cons of the dresses. From these discussions, she designed my perfect wedding dress. She was very detailed in asking me questions about what I wanted and sketched out a design as we discussed it. She took all of my measurements and told me it would be ready in a few months. I went in for my first dress fitting and was amazed by how stunning the dress was. It turned out to be even more beautiful then I imagined. The detailing and quality of work was exquisite. After a few alterations I had my dream wedding gown. She was a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I now refer Alesia to all of my friends and relatives.

I just had my wedding dress altered by Alesia. She was quick, reasonably priced, kind and understanding of my needs. I was able to get an appointment with her right away which was great for my schedule. I called her on a Friday and was able to get an appointment the next day! I would highly recommend to every bride to get their alterations (or even a custom made gown) by Alesia. She did a beautiful job on my dress!

This is a long overdue, well deserved, review. My son was married in Cartagena, Colombia last September. I wanted a unique, colorful, and custom dress. I found a dress I liked from a Colombian designer . Unfortunately, I was not willing to pay $4,000.00 for a dress that I would wear once. Alesia to the rescue! Working with Alesia was a dream. The detail work on the dress was outstanding along with the custom fabric that she had printed based on an abstract piece of art I photographed provided me with the look that I wanted. She is an artisan beyond belief. My dress is currently on display at her shop. As a work of art, I wanted her to showcase her talent. By the way, Alesia alters clothing. To be well dressed your clothes should fit seamlessly.

I bought my wedding dress and House of Brides in Schaumburg, Il and after the fiasco that was, I no longer trusted them to do the alterations I needed for my dress. My sister in law recommended Alesia C Studio and I was amazed that she said we could get the alterations done in time for my wedding, even though the dress came in 19 days before my wedding day. I was able to set up an appointment two days after picking up my dress. Alesia was extremely nice and professional. She explained what I would need for alterations and how much it would cost to shorten the hem a couple of inches. She then helped me find a second option that would cost a lot less than having to take off all of the lace work to shorten my dress and then having to sew it all back on again. Throughout the whole process, I never once felt pressure to pick the more expensive option of shortening my dress and in the end I was thrilled with what I chose. I rented a petticoat from the studio so that we did not need to shorten my dress and ended up saving a lot of money in doing so. I would highly recommended Alesia C Studio to anyone who needs alterations or would like a custom dress. Alesia calmed all my nerves about getting alterations done in time and done properly. I had an amazing experience with them.

For my bridal dress (gasp,) I put my faith and trust in Yelp and found Alesia C Studio. And thank you, Yelp! While located in a non-descript strip mall, once I stepped into the atelier, you can feel the joy and passion that's been nurtured throughout. Alesia has incredible artistry and is very detailed, patient, and thoughtful. She would oftentimes pause and take a step back to ponder and inspect every aspect of my dress and fit. Being petite and having had to adjust so much of my dress, I was very nervous. But in my last fitting, my face lit up at the finished product, and my excitement grew for my big day. I felt confident and joyful. Alesia's team of tailors were incredibly skillful and on point. Alesia also made a touching effort to get to know me and even shared her journey and ambitions as a designer, dressmaker, and 3rd generation heritage of artistic professionals and seamstresses. Alesia is an expert and can even sketch and create your customized dream dress! And had I known, we would've gotten our tux rental here too. Really amazing work, Alesia. So impressed!

I had shopped in all the local stores and was unable to find a suitable gown for my son’s upcoming wedding. I found Alesia C. Studio online and am so glad that I did! My custom made gown is gorgeous and fits me to perfection. The owner/designer is extremely accommodating and incorporated my suggestions to design and construct the perfect gown. I highly recommend this boutique and would not hesitate to return for my next occasion.

Highly recommend!! I brought in my wedding dress hoping it could be fixed after a terrible experience somewhere else. Alesia was so sweet and assured me that everything would be ok. Her team altered my dress and made it absolutely perfect for my wedding day. Thank you Alesia!!!

Such a great experience! I will always come here for any special occasion needs. Had I known she did custom made dresses I would have had her do one for my step daughters for my wedding. We got one suit for my husband and both of our shirts, she also steamed our daughters dress. I already had a suit I had purchased recently, or I would have rented my suit here also. She spent time and listened to what we wanted and offered options, she was also honest and didn't try to get us to get more than what we needed. Being a same sex couple in the suburbs, we felt at home and welcomed. I already have suggested Alesia C Studio to several of our friends. I highly recommend.

My husband and I were having a destination vow renewal ceremony, and I had a very specific idea about what I wanted my dress to look like. Alesia and I discussed the details, and she ultimately created a dress that matched my vision. At the end of our first consultation, she provided a rendering. A few weeks later, the dress was mostly complete, minus a few details and alterations. And a week thereafter, the dress was finished and as perfect as I'd imagined. At our ceremony, my guests had nothing but praise for how beautiful the dress looked. Alesia is an attentive listener and followed through on every detail that I requested. But she is also very creative in case you aren't sure exactly what you want.

Alesia C. studio-boutique has great selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, flower girl and evening gowns. As well as designer's tuxedo and suits for rental and for purchase. We had a really good time trying on so many choices. We worked with bridal fashion designer Alesia and she was wonderful to work with to find a great dress. She was giving good advice on style of dress, matching accessories and was honest but not over powering like consultants at other bridal salons. We were very happy to find right style of wedding and bridesmaid dresses. Also, they provide with free alterations on dresses purchased at their salon. Thank you so much!

I came in for my bridal gown alteration. Alesia is so nice and great to work with! She and her team are talented and know what they are doing. I am thrilled with how my gown turned out and am so excited for my wedding! Stress-free process and one less thing to worry about. The pricing is very reasonable too, as well as the turnaround times. I highly recommend Alesia for any of your wedding and formal ware needs.

I would like to tank you so much to Alesia C. studio-boutique for my dream wedding dress! Bridal designer Alesia and her master tailors created my dress in less than 2 month! They, also, customized my veil and bridal shoes to match the wedding dress. It was done in 3 fittings and 3 weeks before my wedding I was able to pick it up. In addition, my mom and my bridesmaids had wonderful experience with their custom designed chiffon dresses by Alesia C. My fiance received FREE tuxedo, shoes and accessories rental with 5 paid groomsmen suits rentals and 50% off for ring bearer suit in navy blue. I would recommend this high-end wedding studio to every one as a full service bridal salon, offering wedding, evening, bridesmaids, flower girl dresses, professional alterations and suit rental.

Its so hard finding the perfect Prom dress now a days. I wanted something different and unusual for my Senior Year. Finding this boutique was a miracle, I was able to create my own dress with the help of Alesia C. She is such an talented fashion designer, incredible kindhearted person. The service she provides was amazing. Very professional. I got to sit down and watch her draw out an illustration of how my dress will look. The dress was just what I wanted. I had 2 fittings done, she makes sure that the dress is fitted perfectly. I highly recommend coming to Alesia C. Studio if you're looking for any style dress for a special occasion! Thank you so much Alesia!

Who knew that an unassuming little storefront shop would be the best source for custom dresses! Alesia is a sweet patient and talented designer who will create a gorgeous and flattering special occasion dress of your dreams. She and her seamstresses made our twin girls beautiful Bat Mitzvah dresses that were everything we envisioned. Allow 3 months for this detailed process but so worth it. Her bridal dresses were awesome as well!
