Miha Couture is not trying to be the biggest store on the south end of Orland Park. It is trying to carry the dresses nobody else has. The whole shop is built around that idea.
Located in Orland Park, IL, we proudly serve clients across Chicago and the southwest suburbs with unique gowns you won't find anywhere else.
That promise, from the store's homepage, is the reason a prom shopper would make the drive to Wolf Road and 180th Street. The shop is run by a mother and daughter, and they describe the collection as personally selected from international designers, chosen for craftsmanship, fit and what they call timeless elegance. For a student who wants a dress with some individuality, that is the pitch: a rack picked by two people who chose every gown on it.
What the prom side looks like
Prom sits alongside evening wear, pageant gowns and mother-of-the-bride styles here, and the store lists designer prom gowns as one of its core categories. The designer names it puts forward on its own pages are Jovani, Terani and MNM Couture, with the Jovani page pitched straight at proms and formal events. The site also features gowns from international labels such as Gemy Maalouf and Said Kobeisy, which is where the "you won't find anywhere else" line comes from.
The website is only a sample. The real depth is on the floor, where Miha promises one of the widest and most unique selections of gowns, and the online formal edit is a hand-picked slice of it. The shop's blog covers prom season directly, with guides to choosing a prom dress, trending prom colors and accessorizing a prom look, plus a feature on its modest dresses for shoppers who want more coverage.
The best news for a busy prom calendar: walk-ins are welcome for all formalwear. Appointments are required for bridal, where Miha does much of its custom and made-to-order work, but a prom shopper can simply stop in. Anyone who wants a dedicated stylist can still book a one-on-one styling session through the site.
Fit, sizing and the fine print
Miha's size chart page has advice that applies to any prom dress.
Sizing advice
- Measure yourself rather than relying on your usual clothing size.
- Between sizes, choose the larger one, because gowns can be taken in by a seamstress but cannot always be let out.
- Better yet, have one of the shop's stylists take your measurements.
The store is clear that most formal gowns need some tailoring.
Alterations
Through Miha Couture for regular purchases, with sample-sale gowns excluded.
In-store sales
Every one is final.
Special orders

The location works well for families across the south suburbs. Students from Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, Victor J. Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort and Lockport Township High School are all south suburban neighbors of the Wolf Road corner. For prom shoppers anywhere in Illinois' southwest suburbs who want something with an international accent, it belongs on the list.
