Overall great salon

by GabiO

Wonderful set of women offered me great service at this store. Supurb selection, I've never seen so many gowns in one place. SO CLEAN (gowns and store)! Prices and service was phenominal. Felt pampered and catered to. Reasonable alterations and very timely. Found my gown on the first visit after searching high and low all over Chicago and suburbs. Highly recommend this store to all brides. You won't be sorry.

• Pros: selection prices and service
• Cons: metered parking

Excellant bridal salon, iffy seamstress

by melita

I had an excellent experience purchasing my gown at Kasia's Bridal. The owner was helpful and friendly. She sold me my gown (bought consignment) for an excellent price and additionally helped me pick the perfect accessories to match my dress. She really listened to my needs and made good suggestions without being pushy.

Concerning my experiences with the seamstress, my first fitting left me rather unsettled. Although the seamstress (who is the owner's mother) is surely experienced in her trade, her "interpersonal style" left me rather uncomfortable and embarrassed throughout my entire fitting. I found the seamstress to be very rough when physically handling me (i.e. when pinning me or when adjusting the dress on my body). Additionally, she was rather insensitive when speaking about my body (for example she very loudly referred to the size of my breasts for all the store to hear). Simply put: if you are seeking someone who is sensitive and discrete (both when touching your body to make alterations and when discussing the way your body looks in your dress), then I suggest looking elsewhere. If you are less sensitive than myself, then this shoppe is still a fine choice.

• Pros: Good prices
• Cons: seamstress

Great Find!

by CorinaLove

I cannot agree more with the positive reviews about this salon. At first I wasn't sure what to think because the place doesn't look to big from the outside, so I told my mom to wait until I call her to come out. But when I walked into the store, holy cow! I called my mom as soon as I walked in. I have never seen so many bridal dresses in one place! It took me 2 hours to find THE gown, but the honest reality of the matter, I didn't want to shop anywhere else. I worked with Kasia and one of her assistants. The selection is spectacular (well over 2000 gowns, not kidding..) and the quiality is far more superior than the David's stuff you'll see as a bridemaid. Extremely professional and down to earth. I had a great time shopping this store and am not afraid to send my friends here as I know they'll get great service, quality selection and the prices were great. More importantly, I didn't feel like I was visiting a machine, I felt like a bride looking for a dress that received honest help from the owner! I purchased a LaSposa bridal gown for $500, while the regular price was $1800! You can't beat that!

Note: They have a bridesmaid/mothers/flower girls/special occasion room as well and party gets a deal if you gown from them.

Great find and I highly recommend this great Northwest side bridal salon.

• Pros: LOTS of selection for all budgets
