![]() ![]() There are not many custom clothing designers like Mira Couture! Julie (or one of the Mira Couture designers) will walk you through each step and fitting so that the end result is flattering for your body type and reflects your style. Each custom piece is designed and tailored to make it beautiful for YOU.The fabrics and laces are sourced from all around the world.Mira Couture carries one of the largest fabric selections in the Midwest (including designer fabrics such as Chanel tweeds, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino.Don’t be shy about asking any questions! (I had quite a few as this was my first custom made piece!) The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.I was able to wear the jacket and mask together last month when I visited AmericasMart as their ambassador and received compliments at almost every showroom! Here are a few highlights to note about Mira Couture: Side note, Mira Couture recently made me a stunning mask too with Chanel fabric to match my jacket! I never thought in a million years I would be excited about a mask. Now that things are finally opening up and events are being booked again (yay!), this is the perfect time to get on their calendar □ So please keep in mind the video and photos in this post are pre-pandemic! We filmed the video below on Ma(literally days before things were closing down). Little did we know, right after it was made the global pandemic hit and it didn’t feel right to share this post when so much seemed uncertain. A jacket was perfect since I can wear it with jeans or shorts for a more casual occasion or with a nice dress. I knew I wanted a versatile piece and something I could wear year round – even in Chicago. We used a beautiful white Chanel tweed for the fabric and it was designed with all four seasons in mind.Įvery detail was thought out carefully and the end result turned out even better than I imagined. The entire experience of working with Julie and her team was so fun that I wanted to share the process with you. My friend Julie, owner and designer, offered to make me a custom piece of my choice. They have the most fabulous fabrics to choose from and they can create almost anything you can dream of! Mira Couture is known for their wedding gowns but a lot of people may not realize they also specialize in custom suits and dresses. I must say that the staff is sweet and respectful, but it just wasn’t a great experience overall.I am so excited to finally share the details of creating a custom jacket with Mira Couture in Chicago! Not even a “congratulations!” or a champagne toast (which other brides in the place received). Bottom line, they got my sale and could care less after. Her & her mother emphasized that she’d wished more than anything that she would have. Anyways, there was a bride that was next to me at her fitting for her dress too & she was crying telling me to take my dress home to a seamstress near me rather than keeping it with them. I understand that custom designs take some time but the entire approach and way that it was communicated just shocked me. ![]() Rather is was always “don’t worry hunny, we will get it done once your dress comes in and we do your first fitting”. They knew I was from out of town & never once said that when we discussed this in the past. ![]() They were extremely busy & just wanted me out…I mean, now that I’ve said yes to my dress…they’ve already sold me, so who cares about taking your time with the bride now?! I was told that with my custom designs, I would have to come back 2 more times to assure that it was now I wanted. Months later when I went in for my first fitting (2 months before my wedding), it was an experience that was absolut ely not how any bride should feel. I called multiple times to confirm when my gown would arrive and they assured me when it would be in & that they would have more than enough time fitting, designing, and making some customizations/add ons that I wanted. They took my measurements, and I ordered my wedding gown there. At my initial appointment with Mira Couture, I felt beyond excited and loved the way I was treated. ![]()
