Mira Couture is an absolute gem in Chicago! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by their stunning collection of designer gowns and the range of styles they offer. Whether you’re looking for something classic, modern, or completely unique, they have an incredible selection to choose from at various price points, making it easier to find something that fits your vision and budget.
What truly sets Mira Couture apart, though, is their exceptional customer service. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you find the perfect dress. They take the time to understand your style and preferences, offering expert guidance without ever being pushy. The entire experience felt personalized and stress-free, which is exactly what you want when searching for such an important piece.

This was the best experience I could have imagined for buying a wedding dress. I am not a super girlie girl but I wanted to feel special on my wedding day. Julie took time to talk with me about what I wanted, the wedding theme and what would fit my personality. They understood what I wanted in a dress and helped me find the most perfect one. Julie took time with me specifically during the initial trip and then following up with me during the fittings. On my final fitting I didn’t love one small alteration and they fixed it on the spot. I felt like family while I was there and would recommend Mira’s to anyone looking to love their dress and feel special when you’re there.

I had the most amazing experience at Mira Couture. The team was so warm, kind, and attentive. They truly listened to my vision and helped me create a custom gown that was everything I dreamed of. Every detail was carefully considered, and my thoughts and opinions were always valued. The fittings were stress-free, and the final dress exceeded all my expectations—it was perfect.
If you're looking for a bridal boutique that makes you feel heard and delivers a gown that’s uniquely yours, this is the place. I couldn’t be happier with my dress and the entire experience!

Mira Couture was by FAR my best wedding dress shopping experience in Chicago. From the moment I stepped in the door I felt special and that I had a dedicated stylist that listened to what I wanted and delivered amazing recommendations. Brooke was my stylist and she was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. I ended up custom changing a part of my dress and she was great through the entire process from try-on, ordering, and alterations! It was so nice to have one dedicated person through the process that knew my vision every step of the way. This was one of my favorite experiences wedding shopping and so glad I went here!

Very beautiful shop with kind and resourceful team! I felt well taken care of at the shop. The team was responsive and accommodating to any requests, customizations and other inquiries and generally super friendly and fun to work with. The consultant I had worked with when purchasing is no longer with the shop, but the transition was handled well and the rest of the team was great. Alterations may be handled in house with a $1k minimum, but they did not do a hard sell to go in house (in fact, they provided a helpful list of trusted third parties following your first fitting if minimal alterations are needed). I did not feel like a number at Mira Couture and it was a special experience!

I had an incredible experience at Mira Couture with Dorian! He brought my dress vision to life and was so patient as I changed my mind and asked for tweaks throughout my fitting. He was a joy to work with, so professional, funny, and made every fitting a fun experience. I highly recommend Mira Couture and ask for Dorian!

YOU MUST GO GET YOUR DRESS HERE!!! The one thing I was SO very excited about wedding planning was wedding dress shopping. I was so excited / stressed. Addie made the shopping day and each fitting above and beyond. She was so fun, positive and sweet to work with. She immediately got the style I was looking for and found me the perfect dress. I can't express how much she made this once in a lifetime experience so stress free, fun and memorable for me and my bridesmaids. My dress was a HUGE hit with my husband, family and guests! Mira Couture was fun, professional and made me feel SO special. I cannot recommend Addie and Mira Couture enough.

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wedding was last weekend and I'm thrilled! My friend had recommended Mira after having a great experience for her own wedding a few years ago. Khrystyna instantly understood my style and I found my dress on the first visit. She and her team also custom made my mom's dress for the wedding - they have an amazing array of fabrics to choose from. Alterations for us both were a breeze, and they were very flexible and supportive in making sure we both looked - and felt - great. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at Mira Couture! Addie is absolutely the best! From the moment I arrived we clicked instantly, within 5 minutes she had completely figured out my style and made the dress selection process a dream. She was so genuine and helped me to customize the dress to fit my vision. She also helped me to complete the look by finding the perfect veil to complement the dress. The best part was she went above and beyond and attended all of my fittings to ensure the dress fit me absolutely perfectly. The alterations team also did an amazing job with my dress.

Where do I start… Mira is everything you need and more when it comes to your wedding dress shopping. Our bridal consultant Addie made our entire experience so memorable. Right from the get go, she made me feel so special and listened to all that I was looking for. She absolutely went above and beyond for us. Their dress selection is unlike any other spots we visited. All the dresses I tried have that WOW factor to them. You won’t regret going here and if you do ask for Addie. I promise you will find the one! Thank you 🤍🕊

Mira Couture wouldn’t be as wonderful as it is if it wasn’t for Addie!! The salon is beautiful and the selection is plentiful, but consultants like Addie are what completes the experience for any bride. She is warm, insightful, fun, honest, flexible, and so caring! She has made my bridal gown experience seamless. I look forward to my appointments because of her, and I can trust her to bring my vision to life. Big thanks to Addie and the rest of the staff!

Mira Couture is the crème de la crème of Bridal Salons in Chicago! I Instantly felt comfortable and confident after knowing I was going to be working with Shanon to find my dream gown! The salon went above and beyond to order in a dress I found that they did not carry in store and I ended up saying yes to the dress :)! Shanon is amazing!! I felt like I was hanging out with a good friend the whole time which made the shopping experience a 10/10! Did I mention the salon is beyond beautiful? They also carry a wide variety of gowns in a good amount of price ranges. Everything about this experience has been a dream! This is the place to go if you want a wonderful experience and request Shanon! Mira Couture is the place to be!

Worked with Shannon to buy my dress and alter it. She was great to work with and very patient, it took me a few times to decide on a dress! The dresses here are absolutely gorgeous and there are so many to choose from. I bought custom sleeves to match my dress and they were able to alter the sleeves as well too make them fit perfectly with my arms and dress. Highly recommend!

I'd give Mira and Addie six stars if I could.
I began working with Addie and immediately felt like I hit the jackpot.
Addie had me walk the salon and choose dresses I was drawn to, which was so refreshing compared to other salons where that was not an option. With each dress I tried on, Addie patiently took each of my comments into consideration and continued to pivot my dress selection until she found a dress so perfect I (quite literally) could not have picked it out myself.
When I visited Mira again last weekend to try on my dress for the first time, Addie authentically joined in on the excitement, which made the moment even more special. Once the dress was on, Addie had clear and pointed suggestions of required alterations to make it fit perfectly. Her specificity and professionalism made me feel even more confident and proud of the fact that I found my dress at Mira.
Addie and the rest of the team at Mira are true professionals that know this industry inside and out. I wish I made Mira Couture my first and last stop - they are truly remarkable.

I had the dreamiest experience with Addie Reese and the team at Mira! We were welcomed with warmth and excitement the moment we walked into the boutique and Addie felt like an extension of my family by the end of our time together. She was honest and thoughtful with her feedback and extremely knowledgeable. The best part about working with Addie was the trust I had in her to take care of everything. I never once worried about the arrival or fit of my dress - I knew Addie had it taken care of. She is the best!

Mira was the third place I tried on dresses, and wow do I wish I'd gone there first! The designer selection is dreamy, the studio is absolutely gorgeous and Addie Reese was the very best to work with! She helped me really hone in on the style I wanted- the hardest part was picking between two beautiful gowns, an excellent problem to have. 10/10, could not recommend more. Addie also made alterations, pickup and all the other parts of the process super seamless, I was always looking forward to going back in for a visit!

Addie Reese was the most amazing stylist that I could have been paired with. First off, we had a connection over the phone when scheduling the appointment because we had the same name… I was so excited to meet her prior to the appointment and just had a feeling that she would be wonderful!! After going to 4 stores prior and working with other stylists, I can say with absolute certainty that she was the BEST of the BEST! I semi-knew what I liked (but not exactly) and Addie was so accommodating with offering solutions and custom dress ideas that would make my DREAM DRESS. (& within budget) She made my sister and mom feel so comfortable, offering them drinks and letting them join my experience helping me select dresses and offering their opinions — they loved her so much as well!! I am BEYOND excited to see my dress when it’s done and cannot wait to see Addie again!! She was so knowledgeable about all the designers, knowing exactly what each of them could do and couldn’t do. I will be forever grateful for being paired with Addie that day. Also, mira has the best lighting and fitting areas out of all the stores I went to!! Thank you SO much Addie, you are truly so good at your job and can’t wait to see my dress!!!!

Mira Couture is the place to go in Chicago for wedding dress shopping. The experience from start to finish is flawless. Their customer service is exceptional! I said YES to the dress with Addie! She was a delight to work with and made it so fun! I could tell right when I met her that her personality was going to work well with me. I pulled some dresses myself, but the one I eventually picked was one Addie found for me. She really took the time to listen to my “must haves” of a wedding dress and helped me find the one. Not only was she amazing in helping me find the dress she made it so fun the entire time! I highly recommend Mira Couture for any Chicago brides!

Mira is hands down the best bridal shop in Chicago! After going to several other shops and feeling defeated, I decided to go to Mira. I was a little hesitant because I know they carry some high end designers and I was afraid that I would go way over budget but I was so pleasantly surprised. They definitely have affordable gowns as well. And did I mention they are all frickin GORGEOUS! From the moment I entered the beautiful bridal boutique I knew I was in love and would find my dress. Nora was awesome. She’s so laid back and guided me through the store and let me look at gowns on my own as well, which I loved. Nothing about the appointment felt pushy or rushed. I was deciding between 2 dresses and she suggested to think about it and come back with my sister. It was so nice to have someone actually suggest that you think about it instead of pushing you to purchase it then and there. I am so pleased with every aspect of my experience and encourage everyone stop in :)

My experience at Mira Couture was beyond all expectations. Walking into the place, you're greeted with not only the staff but by beautiful dresses on display that you almost feel like you're in a dream! I
had the pleasure of working with Addie and without her, I wouldn't have been able to find the dress of my dreams. I went in with a vision and right off the bat she knew the exact dress for me to try on. What I appreciated most about her, was the fact she helped me step out of my comfort zone and try things I never imagined which really added to the experience.
Overall, Mira Couture was one of the best parts of my wedding experience and I owe a HUGE part of that to Addie. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this place and can't wait to go back for my future dress needs!

I found my dream wedding dress at Mira Couture ! Everything about this place exceeded my expectations. I had a permanent smile from the first time I walked off the elevator into the store, to the day I picked up my dress. I remember feeling nervous and excited before trying on dresses but employees at Mira Couture made my time special and unique. I have referred a few of my friends that are new to wedding dress shopping and needless to say they found their dream dresses too. Thank you Mira Couture xoxoxo.

Mira Couture was one of the very few stores in the entire country that carried the designer of my dream dress. I traveled hundreds of miles to this fairytale place to get that one of a kind gown for the big day. Then I met Addie…who made the whole dream possible by making magic happen and allowing us time in the middle of a pandemic to come in and see it. I can honestly say the experience would not have been the same without her <3 and for that I am forever grateful!

I had received a tip from a friend to request Addie at Mira Couture to be my bridal consultant and it was the BEST decision I have ever made. We immediately connected and she made me feel super comfortable. Wedding dress shopping can be super overwhelming but she made the appointment and experience enjoyable. She really took into consideration my likes and dislikes for a wedding dress and she was super respectful of my budget. She was accommodating when I wanted to come back and try dresses on to make sure I loved my dress. I also really valued her opinion when it came to which dress I chose. I can’t highly recommend someone more. Any one who goes to Mira HAS TO work with Addie!

I actually didn’t even want to try on the dress that she pulled because I didn’t think I would like it, but boy am I glad that I did because it’s the dress I ended up getting! Addie knows us better than we know ourselves! If you are looking for a wedding dress, there’s no better place to go than with Addie at Mira Couture.

Addie was absolutely amazing, offering honest and good advice. The dresses she picked out for me based on my preferences were stunning and exactly on point. There is a wide range of dress styles and prices, so I highly recommend checking it out!

Catherine was my bridal fairy godmother! She was so kind and patient as I tried on just about every dress in the trunk show, and she supported me in my dress decision when my family was less enthusiastic than I hoped.

Mira Couture far exceeded all of my expectations and was by far the best dress shopping experience I had! Mira Couture was our third and last stop of the day and I was feeling a little defeated because I hadn’t found “the one” yet. My excitement immediately returned when we walked in for our appointment. The staff was so kind and the shop is gorgeous and clean. My consultant Nora was the greatest! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease the entire time. When I did find “the one” her happiness for me was evident and she made sure we had all the information necessary after making our purchase. Thank you so much Nora!! ❤️ I can’t wait for my dress to come in!

I was immediately taken back when I first walked into Mira. This is one of the most beautiful bridal shops I went to. They had a trunk show that day and fell in love with a dress. The plan was for that dress to ship to FL for the next trunk show but I needed my mom to see it. Shannon personally reached out to the designer to have them keep the dress for 1 week and still offer me trunk show discount a week later! Shannon went above and beyond for me and was able to say yes to the dress. I had my final dress fitting and the process was so smooth working with Mira and my dress is everything I could hope for! Shannon was incredible and I’d recommend her to anyone searching for their dream dress.

My experience at Mira Couture was amazing from start to finish! I worked with Catherine and Julie and both were so kind and knowledgeable. They always made sure I was prepared for my appointment with what I should bring and made sure my dress was everything I wanted while never making me feel pressured about any decisions. The bust was a bit showy when my dress came in and the seamstress added some appliqués removed when my dress was hemmed and the final product looked like it was originally made that way! My veil was also from Mira Couture and they matched me with one that perfectly matched my dress. I got so many compliments on my wedding day and my MIL also got her dress at Mira! Our whole family loves the Mira Couture experience and will continue to go back for dresses in the future for any other weddings or future special events.

I worked with Julie to create this custom Martina Liana gown and she brought my vision to life… down to every last detail, including a beautiful white fox fur (and a last minute black one for my mom.) She is by far the most knowledgeable and talented woman in the industry. Thank you Julie for the most fabulous dress and experience! Xoxo

If you are a bride and are looking for your dream dress, make sure you go to Mira Couture and ask for Addie. Addie is the most amazing human and goes above and beyond for her brides. She was always looking out for my best interest in every way possible. She is so personable, incredibly funny, and has a way of building a girl's confidence. It felt like I had known her my whole life even after our first appointment! Mira Couture was the first and only shop I went to, and I found my dress that night because of how much Addie listened to my initial phone call and email. She pulled out my dream dress and did everything and more to make sure it fit like a glove. She went out of her way and advocated for the best bustle possible for me which made all the difference. Going to my dress appointments were truly some of my favorite wedding planning memories and it's all because of Addie and the team at Mira Couture.
I seriously cannot say enough good things about her or this store. If you are a new bride, don't walk but run to Mira Couture and ask for Addie. You will not be disappointed!!

Addie is an absolute rockstar and made my entire experience such a breeze. She instantly makes you feel like you’ve known her forever which is particularly beneficial if you don’t have a lot of family or bridesmaids to tag along with you to all of your appointments. You walk out feeling completely taken care of as she is very honest and ensures you are 100% satisfied. Mira itself is such a beautiful salon with a wide range of bridal designers and wide range of price points. I loved how they worked with my budget and still made me look like a stunner. You will absolutely find your dream gown here and make forever friends with your stylist.

My experience with Mira Couture could not have been any better, even in a non pandemic year. With an already long 3 yr engagement and Covid cancelling my wedding a month prior to our date, Addie was my absolute rock keeping me head and heart in the game. Not only did she help be have a custom skirt made to enhance my dress, she helped with a 2nd custom skirt at the eleventh hour and a rehearsal jumpsuit that better suited my vision with the initial skirt when it didn’t feel quite right (but was absolutely gorgeous, way too much time on my hands to make me conflicted!). Addie was the most kind and honest human I had in the dressing room and my everything as I attended most fittings without any family or friends, after losing both of my parents with all family living out of state. She didn’t tell me what she probably thought I wanted to hear, and my happiness and dreams were her ultimate priority. My husband bawled his eyes out and that was our 1 goal. Make.Him.Weep. I miss you and adore you Addie!

Mira is absolutely the BEST because of ADDIE! Hands down the most amazing person you could want to find your daughter the perfect wedding dress!!! Their showroom and dresses are the most beautiful! However. it’s the personal connection, care and attention that Addie gave us which made our experience exceptional!! Addie our bridal consultant was remarkable, talented, fabulous, kind and a joy to work with.!!! A true gem! Julie, the owner was also such an important part of the process and made everything so easy, efficient and enjoyable. The entire staff worked hard to make our wedding dress experience wonderful but Addie was definitely the star, the one who made everything come together! I can’t say enough about Addie! My daughter was the most beautiful bride ever and her wedding was a day I will cherish forever. Thank you Addie! I’m so grateful !

Mira Couture is the absolute best! Their dress selection is fabulous. The space and decor are stunning. It is exactly where you want to be when trying on your wedding dress. The main reason for the excellent review is because of Addie. I don’t know what I would have done without her! Addie is hands down the most amazing person to work with! From day one, she went above and beyond to help in every way possible. Not only is she extremely talented, knowledgeable, and amazing at what she does, she is also so down to earth, honest, friendly, has a great sense of humor, and just so much fun to be around. She goes out of her way to make you feel special and that is so important. She was very involved in every fitting to make sure my dress was exactly what I wanted it to be. She even took the time to film a video for me so that I could remember how to do my bustle on my big day. She truly loves her job and she deserves all of the recognition and then some! After this experience, she is like a sister to me now. The whole experience was beyond anything I could have ever hoped for! Everyone else at Mira is also friendly and amazing to work with. Julie, the owner, is so stylish and has an eye for style that compares to no one. She is hands on during the fittings, which you wouldn’t always expect from someone in that position… not to mention super kind and sweet. Thank you Addie and Julie and the team for making this experience a memory of a lifetime! I miss going to my fittings, and I wish I could buy another dress just so I could go through the process all over again! Addie you are the best!! - Liz

Addie at Mira Couture was the ABSOLUTE best part of my entire planning experience. I highly highly recommend working with her!
Addie is honest, sweet, hilarious and made me feel comfortable and most important..beautiful in every dress I tried on. My mom and two maids of honor also LOVED her. She was able to recommend designers based on my budget and style. Make your appointment with her asap!

My entire Mira Couture experience was amazing! Christina, my consultant, was so kind, extremely knowledgeable, always in great spirits, and just fantastic to work with. She brought up great points that I hadn't thought about before such as my dress style clashing with my jewelry or how the dress color will look in my type of venue. On my first visit (my first dress shopping all together), I felt no pressure to make a decision and was able to try on many different styles to narrow down my choices. Between their fantastic selection (they have dresses I couldn't find in other states) and wonderful customer service, I came back to buy my dress and also choose to do my alterations with them. They were able to fulfill any alteration request I had in a timely manner. I hands down would suggest Christina and Mira Couture to anyone I know having a wedding!!

Mira Couture was the BEST especially Addie!! It's like we've been friends forever and she knew exactly what I wanted/needed to make my wedding day so special! We were in communication throughout the entire process and she made it the least stressful part during all of my wedding planning. It was so fun and the best experience every time I stepped into Mira :)

I would absolutely recommend buying your dress from Mira Couture, especially with Addie!! The minute I walked into Mira and met Addie I felt comfortable, beautiful and like a queen. As someone who was very nervous about finding a wedding dress, Addie made me feel very comfortable. Addie quickly picked up on my style found me the dress of my dreams. Shopping at Mira with Addie was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process!

Mira has a beautiful collection of dresses! It’s also an absolutely elegant and glamorous but not intimidating environment! Addie makes you feel comfortable right out of the gate, and also gives you great professional advice on how to find the best dress for you and your goals and wedding aesthetic. This was an absolutely fun experience with her and she’s also incredibly communicative and accommodating to your time and schedule, as we all know planning a wedding can be crazy! She is transparent, honest, professional and fun!! Can’t recommend this place enough!

I cannot recommend Mira Couture enough, the store is extremely welcoming and you immediately feel at home as soon as you walk in. If you want your experience to be next level, book Addie. She not only is the most knowledgeable about every designer and dress in the store, but also makes you laugh until you cry, and knows what dress to pull to make you feel like the best version of yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, you will not be walking out of the store empty handed.

Mira Couture is such an incredible place! From the second you walk in, you’re made to feel like one of the family! Addie was a dream come true for me…. She walked with me through the whole process as I figured out exactly what dress I wanted (and helping me envision what it would look like when it was MY dress). Addie has a way to say exactly what I’m thinking during alterations, and making me feel beyond incredible!

Best advice for my entire wedding was coming here for my dress - Addie was my dress fairy godmother! She was everything. Stylist with finding my dream dress, moral support through the many iterations of having to postpone (thanks 2020) - and yes, we text!, bestie with finding all the best tweaks and tricks to make me feel like a supermodel. Let me tell you a story - I was in love with my dress from Day 1, but my mother didn't like the color of the beads, and you know what Addie did? She contacted the designer in Israel and got the "cannot be changed" dress to be changed, so I ended up with a custom dress (no extra fee!) that made me AND my mom happy, and I didn't even need to ask. Love her, for real. The very best.

I was introduced to Mira in 2019 when my best friend invited me dress shopping and I loved her experience so much that I got my dress there later that year and even my sister has gotten her dress at Mira now too. My favorite part of Mira by far is Addie. She truly made my whole experience better - when I was dreading my first fitting because my mom and sisters couldn't fly to Chicago because of covid, I was, of course, upset and full of tears and Addie really made it feel like a friend was with me during my fittings. Every time I went to Mira during my wedding experience, and now my sisters, I was so excited and knew that I would leave feeling happy. Along with Addie, the fact that Mira does all of the alterations and can even design and create additional items (I had a lace bolero made to match my mom's veil) is why I suggest Mira to everyone I know that is getting married, not just those in Chicago.

Mira Couture has such an amazing variety of dresses where anyone could find their perfect dress. Not only are the dresses amazing, the people are even better! ADDIE REESE IS THE BEST!! She was so helpful with my dress and made sure every detail was perfect. She would literally call me and we would talk through the additions that were being added to my dress and customized it exactly how I wanted! Wish this wasn’t just a one time experience, but she made my wedding journey that much better!

Addie was the dream consultant - her energy made the experience SO fun and memorable. She made me feel beautiful in every look and she has this skill where she could tell what I was thinking with each dress by just the look on my face. Mira Couture is so adorable, they give each bride their own little corner for a fashion show and their dresses are beautiful! I highly recommend Mira Couture and ask for Addie - you won't regret it!
