Hiii, October 2027 Bride here. I need recommendations for bridal dress stores/boutiques in the Chicagoland area.
There are so many and I don’t know where to go and what to look for.
I’m a petite bride so I know I’m going to need a lot of alterations.
Are there places that do alterations in house? (Would getting alterations in house be wise for a gal on a budget?)

Budget is 1-1.5k.
Appreciate any advice!
