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!
Were hiking in the mountains of Colorado to get married this summer. I purchased a dress off-the-rack elsewhere and needed alterations. I decided to contact Alesia after reading the positive reviews on Google. Im here to post my review to say if youre reading this, look no further!Alesia is friendly, knowledgeable and offered advice along the way - which I really appreciated.Alesia and her team altered my dress to look great on me and functional! I felt like I was in great hands and price was reasonable. Shes so talented! Thank you for everything! Cant wait to wear my dress in a couple weeks!
I cannot say enough great things about Alesia! I needed a bridesmaid dress altered and she did it perfectly and very quickly! She was so nice and easy to work with and was very focused on making sure my dress fit exactly how I wanted it to. I found her because of reviews and Im so glad I did! My dress was satin, fitted, and needed a lot of work. It fits perfectly!
I needed an Indian outfit altered last minute and Alesia was able to have it done that day! I was a little nervous because the outfit had a lot of intricate details, but was so surprised at how quickly she and her team were able to make the adjustments. And the work was done so well and with such care! I highly recommend coming here to get any alterations, especially for more intricate outfits. Ill definitely be coming back. Thanks Alesia and team!!
Alesia is a woman who can help you finding the perfect wedding dress! Due to the specific body shape I have, I could not find a wedding dress without major alterations. Alesia makes wedding dresses, so if you need a wedding dress with certain measures, she is the right place for you. She made me look my best for my day. By the way, she is very kind and dear. She can make your experience of a searching wedding dress pleasant!
Great creative styles! I took a dress there for alterations and Alesia had great suggestions and it was done in a flash! I felt well cared for and the results are top notch! Definitely recommend!
Worked with me to retrofit a complicated dress into a corset-back. She had it done within less than a day, it was beautifully made, absolutely flawless. She and her team couldnt have been nicer. Ill definitely be using her services again!
We really enjoyed doing business with Alesia. She helped us out picking my wedding party suit. I recommend this place for anyone who is in the area.
I took my grandmothers wedding dress into Alesias studio not exactly sure with what I wanted to do with it. I was recently engaged and thought about potentially wearing it for my wedding but knew it needed work. Once Alesia saw the dress her eyes lit up and she had a million ideas of how to work with it. She is such a creative designer and never compromises her work. All of her work is of extremely high standards. She is easy to work with and is very patient and wants to make sure that you leave feeling comfortable and happy with your dress. My bridesmaid also got her dress altered there and the service was again outstanding. Her prices are also very reasonable. She is simply amazing and I can not recommend her enough for all of your alteration needs!
I needed last minute alterations for two dresses and found this gem! Alesia is amazing and very professional. The two dresses are long and formal and Alesia fixed them perfectly. I’ll be a customer for life!
Alesya is such a kind & talented lady, she does a beautiful job with her heart! She also does an art classes on the weekends. Its a Beautiful boutique with amazing & stunning dresses, unique silk scarves, ties and more. Kind sweet considerate women! If I could give more than five stars I would!!
Alesia was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when my fiancé and I went to her to rent an ivory tux. We had trouble locating something that looked great and was affordable while still being a great quality and would photograph well. She dedicated a lot of time to us while we were in her shop and she answered any and all questions we had for her and was super sweet and personable. Her and I also got to chat a bit about sewing (something Im learning to do) and she was so helpful and gave a lot of useful advice! The rental process itself was incredibly simple: Once my fiancé chose a tux and size he wanted, Alesia ordered it and gave us a pick-up time. He went to pick it up (it arrived early too!), wore it for the wedding, then returned it a couple days later and she was very flexible with the pick up and return dates. We would absolutely recommend her and her rental services again!
Extremely unprofessional service and even worse product. Promised to do a simple hem to 3 slacks. She delivered a day late and the job was terrible and extremely sloppy. The pictures below speak for themselves. When I gave her feedback she made excuses saying my slacks were “too slim” or that she’d never done an alteration with boots. She also complained about the turnaround time even bough she promised she could do it and still delivered late. Her payment machine did not work so we had to PayPal her. To top it all off it’s extremely expensive! Just a complete mess.
I cant say enough good things. She saved me after another tailor almost ruined my wedding. I drove almost an hour from Chicago to get there and would/will go back it was very worth it. I had a last minute urgent request to hem a wedding gown in 2 days and she didnt hesitate!! She took so much care during the process and was a pleasure to work with. The dress came out beautiful and I bought a veil from her too because it was stunning!!!In the photo is the dress after alterations and the veil that I bought there.
I am very pleased with Alesyas work! very professionally, the top quality ! I recommend!
Alesia is very talented. She knows what she is doing. If you need a dress, jewelry, etc. you need to go with it. Great place for alteration also!!! Very happy with there service!!!
Alesia was kind and very knowledgeable when it came to making the dress of your dreams. She took the time to learn what you really want in a wedding gown and made it happen! She took her time making sure all the alternations were perfect. She is amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a gown or alterations!
I went in to get my wedding dress altered because it was too long and Alesia also pointed out the straps were a bit too long. The dress has a lot of beadwork on the straps, but it came out perfect. You cant even tell they were shortened. I also just had a great experience with Alesia. She was very kind and attentive! Its a drive from where I live but I will definitely be going back.
Alesia was such a delight to work with! She was able to find matching lace to my dress to cover the back of my dress. She had such attention to detail. Had multiple fittings with her and she always made sure the dress fit to perfection. Would highly recommend Alesia!
Alesia was wonderful. I ordered a cheap dress online and she was able to customize it to fit my personality. The dress was fantastic.
As is any bride, I was super nervous with leaving my dress in someones hands awaiting the outcome. Alesia did an absolutely amazing job with my gown and it ended up making my wedding that much more beautiful! HIGHLY recommend coming and meeting with her for any alterations you made need 🥰
Had to bring my wedding dress to be taking out after ordering online. Alesia was phenomenal to work with and gracious! How they got my dress so fast I’m not sure but I’m grateful to have found them! I give them double the love! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alesia is super sweet; you can tell that she has such a passion for what she does, and she treats the dresses so preciously. Im working with her now to design my wedding dress. Whichever tailor did the beading on my dress is extremely talented. Judith, one of the other tailors there, is completing my alterations, and is very diligent. She very patiently explains everything she is doing to both my mom and I, even though she doesnt have to, and we both really appreciate it.Im very excited to see the finished result, and I can honestly say that working with Alesia has made me more and more excited about the dress 😁
Alesia is the sweetest!!! She took her time doing alterations on my wedding dress, and made it look amazing. She is extremely talented and has a beautiful selection of dresses. Will definitely come back for future alterations :)
As a guy renting a tux here, was an awesome idea. Alesia really knows her fashion. I loved everything the wedding was success...guys if youre looking for a tux, they have that too. Great wedding stuff. Thanks alesia
I was looking for a beautiful new dress for my 25th wedding anniversary party. I initially planned on ordering a dress from a catalog and then having it altered as needed. I wanted the dress to be both beautiful and modest. I was having trouble finding what I needed in a catalog so I searched for custom boutiques and found Alesia. She helped me look through catalogs and try on different dress styles in order to find something that would look great on me. Alesia also helped me pick out just the right color for my dress. Working with Alesia and her team reminded me of making dresses with my mother and grandmother. Designing a custom dress is such a creative process and I enjoyed spending time with them building something beautiful for my special day. I loved the way I felt in my new dress and received so many compliments on it. Thank you Alesia to you and your team for the excellent work on my dress!!!
The ladies here did a great job on my dress. My alterations were finished with plenty of time before my event.
Alesia is a most talented dress designer and seamstress. Last year, she created a dress for me from pictures of a costume worn in a movie. The dress was beautifully designed and made and fit perfectly. She does excellent work. The price is expensive but worth it.
Seagull Studio Wedding Boutique provided the perfect wedding dress shopping experience for my beloved future daughter-in-law and me. We found her dream dress, veil, headpiece, bracelet, and belt, all for a fraction of what I expected to pay for the dress alone--but the style, quality and detail equal that of much more expensive items. More important, the service was spectacular. Wedding Boutiques consultants have more then 10 years of experience, and a wealth of knowledge, particularly about the styles and fabrics that look great for brides sizes 0-30! My future daughter-in-law tried on 5 dresses that we selected for her, all of which looked amazing. Boutique consultant listened to us, spent all the time with us we needed, and celebrated with us when we found the perfect dress. Most important, they proved to my wonderful future daughter-in-law that she can look every bit as beautiful (if not more beautiful) than all the brides shes seen in wedding magazines. We, also, ordered 7 BRIDESMAID and FLOWER GIRL dresses and alterations at the same wedding boutique. In addition, we ordered Ralph Lauren TUXEDO RENTAL for my son and grooms-maids. With 5 tuxedo rentals, grooms tuxedo rental weve got for FREE! And for our ring bearer 50% OFF the same style tuxedo rental. I cant find enough superlatives to praise this wonderful wedding boutique!
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 youre looking for any style dress for a special occasion!Thank you so much Alesia!
Alesia made my tuxedo for my wedding this past Sunday on October 13th. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She guided me and helped me on my whole tuxedo since we were creating it from scratch. It came out perfect. I drove all the way from Chicago because she was way more affordable and reasonable than the boutiques and shops in the city. I would 10/10 recommend her to any of my friends.P.s. she also made my wifes wedding dress as well which was absolutely colorful!
Alesia C. has great selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, prom, evening, Bat Mitzvah, dance, pageant and kids dresses. We had a really good time trying on so many choices. We worked with bridal 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!
Alesia C. Studio did an EXCELLENT job, making my CUSTOM skirt. For less than $100.00, I had Alesia and her team of professionals make me a very, unique skirt that I would not of been able to buy, ANYWHERE, in any store. This studio can make clothes, for you, from scratch! They are SO much more than just alterations. Any, old dry cleaner can hem a dress! Alesia and her team are artists, creating clothing, just for the individual. I spent less money buying my own fabric and having Alesia C. Studio custom make me clothing, of HIGH QUALITY, than I would finding the same, type of clothing, in a department store. Why skimp on quality, going to a discount store, buying clothing from 3rd world, human-rights-violating, sweat shops when you can have hand made clothes, right here in the Northwest suburbs!
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 didnt 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.
I made an appointment with Alesia is to get my daughters dress hemmed for her sweet sixteen. She was very professional and she answered all my questions. She also took the time to tell us about her background in fashion. She was fantastic. Cant wait until we get the dress back.
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.
Very professional, recommended for everyone.
Honestly very upset about the whole experience. It was very expensive to have my dress tailored. I brought it in almost 4 weeks before the wedding and my FIRST fitting was 4 days before the wedding. And it was on christmas eve so I had to change family plans. We didnt have a second fitting, she told me to pick it up the day before the wedding! and it still doesnt fit right. The whole top of the dress is too loose and keeps falling. Now I have to worry about it all day. Not worth the money. Very disappointed.
I was looking for a bolero to wear for my wedding, and I found Alesia C. She designed my wedding bolero and it was one week before my wedding. Amazing person she designed it in a few days. Worked out perfect!!! She also helped to get ready at the day of my wedding to put my wedding gown on and veil in addition she help my fiancé with his wedding tuxedo rental . Thank you so ...much Alesia for making my wedding day awesome!!!!
I needed my bridesmaid dress altered in the bust area because it was too small. I began to worry because I had a little over a month until the wedding so I needed a place that could fit me in their schedule. I found this place on yelp and the owner was able to see me that same day. I told her the problem and she was able to find a solution in time for the wedding. She showed me some of her work and she did a great job on mine. Definitely recommend coming here.
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’m so glad I found Alesia after not having success with finding a seamstress for my daughter’s prom. Alesia flawlessly executed the vision my daughter had for her prom gown. She is very professional, pleasant and passionate about custom design and satisfying her customers. My daughter’s dress was ready at the time we established in the contract. Alesia’s prices are reasonable considering the professional quality (fabric, skill and talent)she and her team executes. The dress fits perfectly and is absolutely gorgeous! My daughter was extremely happy with her dress. My daughter was beautiful, comfortable and confident all night ( ten hours). I’ve already referred people to Alesia and will return to her. You cannot find her talent and skill in the suburbs!
Alesia is amazing. I ordered a dress for myself from another store for my daughters wedding. The dress came late and needed some major alterations. I took the dress to a local Taylor who came highly recommended. Once the taylor saw all the beading on the mesh in the top of my dress, he refused to work on it. After running around trying to find someone who would work on my dress, I walked in to Alesia C Studio. Alicia assured me that she could alter my dress without any problems and within the short amount of time I needed it for the wedding. Alicia listened to what I wanted done to my dress, I went to one fitting with her, and she completed my dress on time and beautifully. She even did more work than she felt would be feasible because she listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond.I learned that I would have saved money and stress if I had started with Alicia and let her start from scratch on making my dress. Next time I will go straight to Alicia with exactly what I want and she will create the best dress fitted perfectly for me. Alicia is truly gifted and passionate about her work and it shows. Thank you Alicia!
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 Id 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 arent sure exactly what you want. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a custom-made dress for a special occasion!
I took a very long chiffon skirt to Alesia to get hemmed. She was very professional and offered me several options on hem type. She was able to get it done in my tight timeline and it was perfectly done. I highly recommend her for all tailoring and alterations needs.
I had several items that required professional alterations, some that were difficult. Alesia handled the measurements and assured me that her tailor had been working on men’s clothes for 35 years. All suits, sport coats and pants came out perfectly. I was very pleased with the result and service. Alesia is extremely nice and very professional. I would recommend her alteration services and will be going back with more soon.
The perfect place for wedding dress or suit of your dreams, accessories, custom tailoring and alterations!
I had hard time looking for a prom dress and Im glad I found Alesia C. Studio I told her how I wanted my dress and what color I wanted. Thanks to her I was so happy and loved my dress. She made it the perfect size and just the way I wanted. Thank you for making me look beautiful for my prom and thanks for the custom made dress! I loved it!
I am from out of state and needed alterations to my wedding dress. I purchased the dress in Pittsburgh but didn’t want to travel back and forth for alterations. Luckily I found Alesia and her studio to do my wedding dress alterations. She was super friendly and accommodating and got my dress just perfect before I took it home! Great service and would definitely recommend do anyone needing bridal alterations to an already purchased dress!
BEST DESIGNER/SEAMSTRESS in Chicagoland❣After ordering/returning 7 ill-fitting, hideous fabric, long black gowns from Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue & Bergdorfs I was in a terrible bind... 11 days before my Sons Wedding without a dress. Shocking coming from these once meticulous, prideful merchants. Size 18 too small. Size 14 swam on me. Size 16 might as well been a 4. Fabric so plastic, heavy & cheap... one was actually called scuba fabric (foam rubber like a childs craft project). Worst part, the merchants have the audacity to charge $500-2000 for such garbage❣How fortunate for me to find Alecia ❣I took my own sketch, a similar photo of what I wanted, and a pic of beautiful, black Ostrich Feathers. Alecia sketched until the rendering was EXACTLY what I dreamed of. Alecia took my measurements, ordered the black velvet & feathers (many designers make you shop for your own fabrics/trimmings/zippers etc.) AND promised it would be done before the wedding. UNHEARD OF❣❣❣ Fast forward... (and often working through the night) THE MOST BEAUTIFUL dress you can imagine delivered JUST before the wedding, AS PROMISED❣ Every guest at the wedding said it was the most elegant dress they had ever seen, some said I Hollywood has NOTHING on me. AND I FELT SOOOO PRETTY in it❣❣❣Perfect fitting, rich fabric, in a lovely hanging bag with a lint roller. I felt like a Queen. And the wedding pictures, I am just thrilled with. Remember, youll be looking at those pictures till the end of time 🥰 THANK YOU for making this Couture Gown for me Alecia & for making the experience effortless, memorable, HAPPY & simply stunning❣❣❣
Alesia did absolutely amazing work on a bridesmaids dress that was nearly 4 sizes too big. She is a life saver! She altered it and now it fits perfectly. Quick turnaround and quality work. So thankful I found her!
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 thats 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. Alesias 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 wouldve gotten our tux rental here too. Really amazing work, Alesia. So impressed!

When I tell you guys that i was struggling for someone to make my dress within about 4 weeks and in my price range I thought I was out of luck for prom. Luckily I contacted Alesia and she did wonders for me the dress fit beautiful, the material was a great quality she also finished in the time she set. She’s very detailed and looks at everhthing and perfects it. I highly recomment this place i don’t know how to post my pictures but, it was fantastic please go to her!😄
Service was great! Alesia had my tux for prom ready to go within a weeks time. Impressed with how everything fit and will definitely visit again. Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy or rent suits, tux’s and dresses for special occasions!
We have rented 20 bow ties and pocket squares and ordered invitations for wedding. Service was great and I really liked my invitations design.Thank you for making our wedding look beautiful
Took dress at 12:30 am night before the wedding, Buttons on a coat werent working. At 12:30 She was cleaning black spot from the dress. Extremely rude, Was trying to change the price during the process. Avoid at all cost!
My daughter had her prom dress hemmed her. We had excellent service, the alterations were timely and accurate.
Have taken a few suits to be altered now as I was sick of bad alterations at cleaners and other tailors. She is great at what she does and has a passion for it. She also sells custom suits so I’ll check it out next time.
Was in a bind on time to get my suit tailored and they fixed it perfectly and quickly! Recommend to anyone looking to get a suit tailored.
Make an appointment to get blown away by the amazing hand made wedding, quinceanera, cocktail, black tie and mitzvah girl dresses, plus stuff for men, accessories and Alesias impeccable sense of style.
Alesia was so kind and her work was beautiful! Very grateful for her service and would definitely recommend!
She is the best designer! she made my bat mitzvah dress and i couldnt be happier with my dress! Thanks Alesia!
Alesia C. Studio is hands down the best place to go for alterations. I had ordered my wedding dress from overseas and had limited time to get it altered. After going to a few different places and getting nowhere with my dress, I finally found Alesias and I explained my situation. Alesia was so sweet and said not a problem just bring the dress in. It only took 2 visits to complete my alterations! The 1st was to shorten it and the 2nd was to add the bustle. My dream dress was complete in literally one month!! I also purchased my gorgeous veil from here for a very reasonable price. This boutique has it all from dresses, tuxes, wedding decor, bridal party gifts, and sooo much more. More importantly, Alesia has the friendly service that you can trust! I would highly recommend this amazing place to anyone and everyone! Thanks sooo much Alesia for EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Lovely store and awesome store owner! A great place to shop!
