Finding a wedding dress can be a very exciting but intimidating process. There are so many stores to look at and even more dresses to try on within those stores. However, MS Moda is incredibly unique. My mom and I went to many different stores before we made it to MS Moda, and as soon as I tried on the first dress, I knew that the dress was so well made. The fabric didn’t feel cheap and the details were well thought- out. Since every dress is made to the individual and not just altered to size, we were able to customize the bow size, length of dress, and belt. Ivana was a dream to work with and even helped ship the dress across the country. MS Moda made the dress shopping experience one to remember!!! I felt like such a princess on our special day!
Ivana was incredible, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. We purchased my wedding dress as well as the mother of the bride dress from MS Moda. Beautiful new shop with gorgeous dresses. A must for all thinks bridal!!
Ivana and Tracy were incredible in helping me select the perfect wedding dress. They had so many options and allow brides to mix and match tops and skirts as they are the sole designers of the gowns they carry. You won’t find an experience like this anywhere else! This is like going to the designer yourself and working with them to make your own unique gown. I truly felt they made the shopping experience personal and special! My wedding dress was unique and special as I designed it myself and pieced it together. There was no pressure to buy anything and I had an amazing shopping experience. It was truly a special experience and I didn’t break the bank. Anywhere else my wedding dress would cost near $10,000 range. I highly recommend any and all brides check out MS MODA!
I am forever grateful to both Tracy and Ivana! My dress turned out to be more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I was in complete awe when I had my final fitting. I was able to add some color to my dress and more sparkles as I'm a very sparkly girl haha.
The shop itself is also so lovely to walk around in, amazing atmosphere, cozy, beautiful and peaceful. Tracy and Ivana are wonderful and helpful and many many thank you’s to them for making this dress and this experience a memory I will never forget. I will be recommending Ms Moda to everyone I know and to all those reading these reviews, please allow yourselves to check them out because they are worth it and so are you!
Thank you and much love!
I had the best experience finding my wedding dress at MS Moda! Tracy and Ivana were so helpful and patient in helping me choose a variety of sample gowns to narrow down the look I wanted, and eventually helped me customize the look of two different gowns into my perfect dress. I felt utterly confident in the process of being measured for a perfect fit, as there was an open line of communication at each stage of the process from ordering the dress through the final pick-up. Thank you MS Moda!
Ivana and her team at MS Moda provided the most pleasant experience I could have imagined. They were so friendly, accommodating, professional, and personable. They took their time with me allowing me to browse their selection and try on as many gowns as needed. They pulled dresses that perfectly fit my vision and played around with the accessories and customization options to make sure I found the perfect match. It was a wonderful experience and I truly cannot say enough good things about the team and wedding gowns at MS Moda!
I cannot say enough good things about Ms Moda. Ivana and Tracy are the absolute best. Planning a wedding can be super stressful but they made this part of the process so fun and so special. They go above and beyond for their customers. They strive to make each customer have a memorable day. I had the best experience. I have my dream dress and it is all thanks to Ms Moda. Highly recommend!!! You ladies are the greatest!!! ❤️
Great experience, 100% recommend. The quality and styles of the dresses are fantastic and so is everyone who works there!
My experience at MS Moda was amazing! Ivana and Tracy made me feel very comfortable and they were able to help me find the perfect dress! It was exactly like the dress I imagine walking down the isle in. I went to many bridal salons, but was not able to find anything like it. They were also able to make the dress in white, which is what I was looking for. Thank you so much! I can't wait to finally wear it!
I'm so happy that I found MS Moda! From the moment I showed Ivana & Tracy some photos of what I was looking for, they were so helpful and patient with me in finding the perfect dress, and adding extra touches that I requested! My dress also arrived early, which was such a relief with so many other things being delayed due to coronavirus. My dress and veil were the only things I did not have to worry about in the midst of all the craziness, and because the dresses are made to your exact measurements, I don't have to worry about getting it altered either! I can't wait to wear my dress twice- once for our micro-ceremony, and again for our big wedding, whenever that may be. I cannot recommend MS Moda enough!
From the moment I walked in, they made me feel like a bride. I had been to at least six other bridal shops, and then MS Moda. They made such a welcoming environment and helped pick out a dress from a very broad/vague description that I gave them. From the start of the process to falling in love with their dresses, to the fitting and final pick up, these ladies and bridal shop have been so amazing. Out of everything I have experienced from, the loss of a venue due to them going bankrupt, to COVID-19 cancelling wedding events and now my wedding day not being able to be what my fiance and I have envisioned , I can at least say the one stress that I did not have to worry about was the wedding dress. Out of everything, I know that I have an amazing, custom made dress for me that this place worked so hard, even in a global crisis, to make and ship, so that a bride like me can still be able to have a dress. You will not find a better dress from anywhere else. Their dresses are truly one of a kind, with amazing material and gorgeous designs. And the people working here are amazing and so kind- so blessed to know them.
Thank you Ivana and Tracy, so much for everything you have done for me in this crazy time. I absolutely love my dress, and cannot wait to wear it for whatever wedding day we are able to have. Thank you so much!!!
I got engaged in June 2019 and soon after started to stress about finding my perfect dress! In searching The Knot, MS Moda was one of the first results that popped up and I instantly fell in love with the dresses the models were wearing and the part in the description box that you didn’t need any alterations also really intrigued me!
Well, 14 salons later - It had to be MS Moda! Tracy (so sweet!!) and Ivana (the best Polish woman ever!) we’re able to make my dreams come true! I was able to customize my dress and the veil they helped me pick out; to DIE for! Hands down I will feel like a queen/celebrity on my wedding day!
Best of all - they are a family owned business that imports their fabric from Italy and France and make the dresses in Poland! How amazing is that?! I’m so so so pleased with the service, charm and expertise they brought to my entire wedding dress experience! I highly recommend - they will make any Bride feel so special.
Love you Tracy and Ivana! ❤️❤️
I had an awesome experience and MS Mode and definitely recommend checking them out! Their dresses really stood out to me among the different place that I went. I found my dress here and Ivana and Tracy made the whole process so easy. The dress was stunning and Ivana was so easy to work with.
I'm going to steal another reviewer's title of "hidden gem" as I feel the same way about MS Moda and Ivana. I was VERY overwhelmed looking at the long long list of bridal shops in the Chicagoland area. Thankfully, someone had recommended MS Moda and, well, I purchased my dress there so you can figure out how I felt about their selection! To add some color, I visited a total of five (maybe six?) bridal shops. Ivana was wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and honest which means a lot when you're making a big purchase. I also felt that the dress prices at MS Moda were fair. When planning a wedding, you very quickly feel that people are adding $$$ as soon as they hear the word "bride", but I never felt that way at this store. Ivana wanted me to find the perfect dress for me, and even had me wait and come back a second time as she knew their next shipment of dresses were more what I was looking for (and she was spot on). True, honest customer service. I would recommend this store to anyone.
MS Moda is the best! Amazing quality, stunning designs and breathtaking dresses. I found my dream dress during my first visit and all thanks to the amazing Ivana! She's very knowledgeable and has a great eye for detail. She is so fun and easy to work with! This is the place to go for the personal touch and an amazing experience! Wouldn't recommend any other place!
Ivana is simply amazing and the best! She not only made me feel so comfortable, but she also made sure that the guests that came with me were comfortable as well. Just from being in her boutique for the first 5 minutes I knew this was going to be where I bought my wedding dress from, because Ivana genuinely cares and wants to see every bride shine with a huge smile on their face! She listened to what I wanted and even brought other things out that I didn’t even think about just because she had a vision of what the look I was going for. She is spectacular, and every bride MUST go to Moda before committing to any other dress out there!
HIDDEN GEM! I cannot say more positive things about MS Moda!!! Ivana is simply amazing. She’s so helpful, kind, down to earth, and the salon is beautiful! This was the first place I went to try on dresses - and none of the other “big name” & popular boutiques in the NW suburbs and city of Chicago I went to compared. They have such HIGH quality dresses, you really can tell the difference. Every dress I tried on was light and airy, but with BEAUTIFUL handmade detail. Ivana was so patient with me and made me feel like family. I received so many compliments on the final dress and veil - they were so unique and stunning and I felt comfortable all day & night. I didn’t want to take the dress off! Everyone wanted to know where I had purchased the gown & veil, and they were all surprised to hear MS Moda - it really is a hidden gem! THANK YOU for everything!!!!
I loved my wedding dress. And my veil! All of my guests commented how lovely my trousseau was. And that was just the final pay-off! I went to probably 10 different boutiques before stumbling upon MS Moda. The dresses are impeccably made with the most beautiful fabrics. You can tell the quality is top-notch compared to what you will find in some of the other designer lines. Ivana and Kasia were heaven-sent. They were so patient and so friendly. I felt like I ended the experience with two additional friends who would bend over backwards to make sure everything was to my liking. Go to MS Moda. You will be so pleased with the product, the experience, and the customer service!
Ivana is amazing!!!! From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. She was a delight to work with and made my dress to fit perfectly when I received it! I didn’t have to make any major alterations, just bustling. I highly recommend MS MODA to brides that are looking for a well made dress (just for you) unlike the others in stores I’ve seen locally. The fabrics used to make them are of MUCH BETTER QUALITY. You can’t go wrong with MS MODA. Thank you, Ivana, for making me feel so comfortable and beautiful in my dress on my big day!!!
Iwona and her entire team as MS Moda is beyond amazing! This was the first and only place I went to look for my wedding dress. I did not feel pressured at all but instead Iwona and her team took into consideration my thoughts and what I was looking for in my dream wedding dress. They made me feel beautiful and finding the perfect dress as easy as a bride could imagine! I received so many compliments about my dress and how original it was! Thank you so much Iwona & MS Moda for the BEAUTIFUL dress and LOVELY experience!!!
MS Moda provides a wonderful and amazing bridal gown experience from the moment you walk in the store to the moment you leave. Ivana provides a wonderful shopping atmosphere where you get the whole upstairs to you and your guests. My family was pampered with champagne. I tried on a bunch of different gowns and really felt like I had that "say yes to the dress" show experience.
I went to a couple of other bridal gown dress stores after my first visit but came back to MS Moda because the dresses were the type of style that I wanted but also the QUALITY of the gowns. European, lace, sexy, elegant and of course bridal.
I purchased a dress and matching veil at MS Moda. I was measured for the dress in January 2018 and received it in April. I was measured to the T for this dress and wen I received it it fit like a glove. No big alterations needed other than a bustle and the underskirt was altered (recommended by my seamstress).
Also a huge thank you to Ivana and her team that works at Ms Moda. They really put in their all for you and make sure 1) that you really really love the dress 2) that you pick the dress that YOU, the bride, want and 3) that you have a gown that is truly custom fit and amazing quality. I felt amazing on my wedding day and felt like the bride I wanted to be.
I need to find another occasion to wear this gown . =P
Thank you so much MS Moda for an amazing experience. My sister and I are getting married this year and with help of my future brother in law we found this place. I can't even say enough good things about the owner Ivana. She always make us feel so special and gives us so much attention ,Not to mention she is very beautiful woman:)
Thank you again for making our dreams came true
I highly recommend MS Moda!!!
If you are bride to be:)
I could not say enough good things about Ivona and MS moda. I was referred by a friend, and am so thankful! Once I stepped into the boutique and saw all the gorgeous gowns I knew I would find my dream dress, and I did! Ivana is so passionate and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I 100% without a doubt recommend MS moda to every single bride looking for a dress! I guarantee it'll be a one stop shop
I had a great experience getting my wedding dress and Ivana was wonderful! She makes you feel so comfortable and is so passionate about finding each bride the perfect dress for their individual style and taste. I would absolutely recommend MS Moda for brides to be.
Iwona is AMAZING. She makes you feel special and doesn't push her dresses on you. She lets you fall in love with the dresses on your own. The prices are reasonable. She is so involved and called me by name every time I spoke with her. I would recommend her to anyone and would come to her all over again in a heartbeat! I cannot say enough good things about this adorable little place.
The best place I shopped at while looking for my wedding dress! Ivanna was so helpful and the prices are great. When I found the dress I wanted there was one part of it that I didn't care for, and since they are made to order they were able to edit it so that I could have my perfect dress!! Love this place.
I would recommend MS Moda over and over again, to everyone I meet! Located in a picture-perfect yellow house, Ivana and her staff at MS Moda are so kind and welcoming, and they make you feel like a princess (with no pressure to buy). Ivana has a gift for working with brides and she went above and beyond her job duties, attending my dress fitting to ensure that everything was perfect. These dresses are stunningly beautiful and unique, completely custom, and high quality for an amazing price. I had a short engagement and my dress was ready within 2 months of ordering. It needed minimal alterations because each dress is made to your measurements. I received so many compliments on my dress, and I felt comfortable all night. MS Moda was my favorite vendor to work with for my wedding. A truly perfect experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
I had the best experience shopping for my wedding dress at MS Moda! Ivana is such a pleasure to work with. She offers long appointments with undivided attention and invests herself wholeheartedly into making sure that you love everything about your dress. I'm so happy with mine and can't wait to wear it. Highly recommend!
