Wedding dresses for kick-ass women. Grace + Ivory specializes in beautiful, made-to-measure wedding dresses at accessible prices. A bridal brand unlike any other, Grace + Ivory allows newlyweds-to-be to try on garments from the comfort of their own homes. The collection of bridal gowns is carefully curated, and every design can be customized. Dresses are made-to-order with quality in mind, with fabrics like soft tulle, Italian crepe, Japanese mid-weight silk satin, and fine cotton lace. With hand-beaded, hand-sewn details, every dress is made-to-order and one-of-a-kind. This online atelier can deliver luxury couture items to couples across the United States of America.
As an online e-commerce bridal brand based in Chicago, they create beautiful, custom, made-to-measure wedding dresses for the modern bride. As a women-owned shop, they've partnered directly with their dressmaker, and cut out layers of distributors and retailers to offer gorgeous dresses without the mark-up (all of our designs are under $2,000). Grace + Ivory believes in doing bridal differently, and create their high-quality dresses in three to four months. Every dress is carefully sewn and lovingly made for a bride, focusing on proportions and possibly saving on alteration costs. As a social enterprise, and their mission is about women supporting women, and a portion of every dress purchase goes to programs helping women and girls in need. They're currently supporting Plan International’s The Girls' Fund, which has programs around the world focusing on eliminating child marriage, keeping girls in school, girls’ health, and women empowerment.
This trail-blazing company was founded by Tina Wong Zysk, who saw the lack of affordable, well-made gowns when she was planning her own nuptials. Her company offers a focus on providing exquisite dresses for every budget by using top-quality fabrics and collaborating directly with trained dressmakers. This results in a streamlined process for engaged couples who are busy planning their big day.
Grace + Ivory offers an effortless experience for newlyweds-to-be. After clients have purchased their dream dress, a bridal consultant will contact them to request their measurements, confirm custom details, and send a dress agreement for signature. Wedding dresses will then be made-to-order and made-to-measure, reducing alterations costs. They encourage couples to purchase their dress between 5-6 months in advance of their wedding, to ensure that their gowns arrive a few weeks ahead of the big day. A range of complementing accessories are available upon request to complete the look, such as sashes, belts, and veils, as well as custom-made gowns for mother of the bridal or groom.
Services Offered
Grace and Ivory is the boutique for the modern to-be-wed. They provide a streamlined service that allows customers to choose from a range of designs that can be customized to their fit. This allows couples to-be-weds to create a one of a kind dress, as special as the big day being celebrated. The team even offers a try-at-home service, allowing those awaiting their nuptials to see how a gown fits in the comfort of their own abode.
Grace & Ivory was a delight to work with. I found the dress of my dreams, and because it's all made to measure, I didn't have to do any drastic tailoring. The company also donates a portion of their profits to an international nonprofit, which I LOVE, and the company itself is still fairly small so I made a connection with the founder herself. If you can't get to their boutique in DC, you can order online - everyone should!

HI Isha! Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved making our Tabitha dress for you and your support for a women-focused social enterprise. We're currently based in Chicago now but DC brides can still order samples to try via our try-at-home program! Congrats to you and your hubby!

Found my dream dress without having to walk into a store!
I was planning a last-minute elopement in 1.5 months, and Grace + Ivory made it possible for me to find my dream dress! They went out of their way to talk to me personally about my timeline and made it possible for me to try on a couple of their dresses at home and ultimately purchase one of their dresses. AMAZING quality, AMAZING design, and AMAZING customer service. I had been VERY stressed about finding the perfect dress, but Grace + Ivory made everything manageable.
On the day of the wedding, I felt gorgeous in my dress. My husband cried at our first look photos, and I thank my dress for it! A lot of my friends were also amazed that I was able to purchase such a beautiful dress online, and it totally changed all of our opinions on dress shopping. Even some friends whom I hadn't talked to in years contacted me on Facebook to ask where I got my dress! I highly, highly recommend Grace + Ivory. They will help you find your dream look.
