    I had the absolute best experience with Alexis! My mom, sisters and future mother in-law went to Alice in Ivory as our first stop of my whirlwind dress shopping day, and she have us HANDS DOWN the best experience. Alexis was accommodating, knowledgeable, and very patient with my large group/family asking her a million questions, while also throwing lots of different dresses and looks her way. She kept me calm and comfortable while she and I were in the dressing room together ( I was a bit more nervous then I expected) and she was honestly just the nicest, sweetest stylist that we worked with the entire day. She made me feel like a gorgeous bride to be and helped me when she could tell I wasn't loving something- we'd move right along and put me back into the dresses I loved. The store is impeccably designed and maintained. The dresses all shine, they are well maintained and easy to peruse when you're picking out ones to try on. It's just the sort of place you DREAM of when you think of wedding dress shopping. Seriously cannot explain this enough. Run, don't walk, to visit Alexis and Alice in Ivory. I wish I could try on dresses there every day :) (Also- random side note, but my mother-in law is in a wheel chair, and the store is also very wheelchair accessible, which was shockingly very hard to find throughout the city).

    Went to 3 bridal shops and had the MOST amazing experience at Alice in ivory by far! They care about you finding the right one for you! Amazing selection and the store is beautiful. I worked with Lindsey who was amazing!! Thanks again!

    When initially searching for my dream wedding dress I came across a dress from a designer that was no longer made or sold but I l absolutely loved it! I became so desperate to find that dress that I even reached out to the designer themselves to see if they had any in stock. I then saw that Alice in Ivory used to have an extremely similar dress from the same designer in their store and when I contacted them they had one sample of it left. Tara was my consultant and answered all of my questions via email prior to my appointment-this included even sending me photos of the dress in advance. During my appointment she made the process extremely comfortable and relaxing but also made it very special for my Mom and I. She was just as excited about the dress as we were! After purchasing the dress, Tara provided me with recommendations on where to get the dress altered and cleaned and even gave me two gift cards to one of the recommended shops. I could not recommend Alice in Ivory enough to any new brides!

    Before I was even engaged I knew I wanted to go to Alice in Ivory to try on a two-piece dress from Katie May's Noel & Jean line. I'd been stalking the dress for months until it was finally my time to try on the dress. I was really wishy-washy back and forth with Kaylee through email trying to coordinate an appointment for my mom, who was coming in from Michigan. I think we had about 30 emails between us by the time of the appointment! Kaylee ended up squeezing me in for a quick try-on of the dress before my mom came to visit (I couldn't wait!). The appointment was about 30 minutes and I tried on two or three options. It was a very quick in-and-out. Lee Anne was my associate, and I thought she was great at the appointment. When my mom and I came in to try on the dress, the vibe was a little different. I had a different associate (I can't remember her name,) and Kaylee was in the shop. The associate made me feel rushed. We were supposed to have an hour appointment, and she was under that impression that we weren't. I felt like she was trying to push me out of the dressing room. They also allowed a few window shoppers to come into the shop while I tried on dresses, which was off-putting. I knew that the Noel & Jean dress was the one. While ordering the dress, Kaylee chose sizes based on the measurements Lee Anne took at my first appointment. The top was a 14 and the skirt was a 16, which seemed very off to me considering I nearly fit in the sample size and probably only needed to size up a size or two. Being a naive and giddy bride, I didn't really think much of it. When the dress came in three and a half months later, I'd lost about 20 pounds (unexpectedly - due to cutting out alcohol!) and I was terrified to try on the dress. Lee Anne was in the shop that day and helped me into it. Sure enough, MUCH too big and I was very upset. We tried on the sample size dress just to remind myself what I looked like in the dress and it fit perfectly. Lee Anne was great and assured me that if the alterations shop I'd chosen didn't think they could fix the dress (which needed to be completely reconstructed), that she would figure something out for me. After three appointments and a month of alterations, the dress didn't fit me properly. I felt pressured by the seamstress that the dress was perfect. When I tried on my dress five days (5 DAYS) before leaving for my destination wedding, I contacted Alice in Ivory and Lee Anne called me. I was in tears, but she reassured me that she would figure something out. Kaylee and Lee Anne decided that they would give me the sample size skirt, they would have it professionally dry cleaned for me, and that I could have it altered. They suggested The Dress Doctor. Lee Anne called all of the vendors, told them the story so I didn't have to, and continued to reassure me that everything would be okay. Lee Anne is absolutely amazing, and I would recommend booking your appointment with her. While I was disappointed about the sizing issue of my dress, I think that Lee Anne went to great lengths to make it right and I couldn't be more appreciative of her.

    I had only been to one other bridal store before going to Alice in Ivory, but after seeing the same old dresses, this shop was a breath of fresh air! Their selection is beautiful! And I received so many compliments on my dress. I'm still in love with it and wish I had a reason to wear it again. Not only are the styles here gorgeous, but the space is beautiful, welcoming, and the girls that run the shop have years of experience behind them. They were able to guide me and offer handy tips and tricks (including where to get my gorgeous gown altered). I had a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a gorgeous/ one-of-a-kind dress!

The countdown is on to 03/12/2027! we don't have many vendors but I will be telling everyone I know that Glamor Closet is worth the trip to Chicago. the total cost of my dress with shipping was $1515 and she needs next to no alterations!!!

It just didn't feel like an inviting environment. Also, website says "full service" bridal shop but in no way is this one. They don't help You get in the dress or give any suggestions? Couldn't find my "stylist" the whole time I was there. P you pick all the dresses yourself which I get but truly so odd. the dresses themselves feel outdated and expensive for what they are. Their overall quality doesn't feel good but you can tell it's really off the rack. Lot of rips, missing hardware, armpit stains, and makeup. I found a beautiful dress (for a better price and beans new) and had an incredible at Jenny yoo. Can't recommend other places enough

Then, we got a message at about 2:20 - which I assumed was our reminder and I didn't open it. Then we walked to the shop and it was closed!!! I then opened the reminder and it said we were already 20 mins late and would be charged $75 for the missed appt. My friend called them immediately and we found that they had temporarily closed the Chicago store and were routing appointments to the NORTH CAROLINA store. This is why they thought we were late. Once we realized the issue - the woman on the phone was very apologetic and explained that the appts were getting rerouted but that it was a mistake on their end and they were very sorry. They refunded the fee. I am appreciative of this - but they really should have something to keep us from booking somewhere that isn't open. We wasted three hours of travel time and prep on a busy day. Boo. I'm sure the dresses are pretty though - that and the easy fix and apology upped the rating.

After purchasing my bridal gown, I walked away feeling like I was floating, all smiles and I don't have a single regret. Prior to my visit I shared my preferences and I'm happy to say that when I walked in Jessica had already pulled a lot of dresses for me to choose from. What I think I enjoyed most about working with Jessica is that she listened to me, gave sincere suggestions and provided honest feedback instead of pushing what she thought would be best OR just agreeing with me. End the end, I said YES TO THE DRESS and chose what I consider to be one of the most beautiful gowns I've tried on and I knew instantly it was the one.

Kpoene tackled a major challenge of bunching that was happening under the bust. She helped lessen it by adding boning, which made the top more structured and somehow also more comfortable. During the wedding I never felt the need to pull my dress up (a feat in and of itself). Also, when the outcome of one fitting wasn't quite right at the bottom of the zipper, she graciously had me come back outside their normal hours so that she and Ariana could make sure it was perfect. Most important to me is that Kpoene made the experience memorable and enjoyable - not just for me, but for my best friend, mom, and sister. I felt that any of my concerns were listened to, and we really had fun throughout. Thank you Kpoene! Having gone through the wedding dress alternation process with friends over the years, my experience was night and day to their mostly stressful encounters. Kpoene is funny, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I definitely lucked out with Mignonette Bridal. Additional pros: - High value for your dollar. - The store is comfortable and the decor is just perfect (part vintage boutique, part Anthropologie, 100% inviting). - If I hadn't already bought my dress, I would definitely have wanted one of her custom pieces. They are so unique and beautiful! - Kpoene is always on time and it was easy to schedule appointments around my work obligations. - Easy parking and not too far from the Paulina brown stop.
