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 with roots in Washington, DC and 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!

Beyond Expectations
I worked with Tina to design my dream dress, which was not hard considering her gorgeous suite of dresses that are all customizable. I got to see her dresses first hand at a pop-up and she was so attentive right off the bat. The fabrics were stunning and I was immediately drawn to the silk used in the Elise, a fabric that would have cost a fortune if purchased off the rack. She took my measurements and within a few days, I had a sketch in hand straight from Tina and her dressmaker tailored to my body. Her response time was incredibly fast and she provided updates along the way, essential for an anxious bride! My dress was not only unique but timeless. I could not have dreamed of a better experience from start to end.

Amazing!!!
I had the most wonderful experience working with Tina at Grace + Ivory. Their dresses are gorgeous with such amazing quality! Tina was incredibly organized, kind and supportive and has wonderful insight into the wedding dress world. Tina was always quick to communicate and was incredibly thorough in answering all of my (many) questions. She also offered up great ideas and perspective on helping me find the perfect dress. Not only is the mission and philosophy behind Grace and Ivory wonderful, but so is their ability to make women feel empowered and excited to find the right wedding dress for them! Highly recommend!
