Grace + Ivory

     

I had the pleasure of working with Tina for my daughters wedding. I wanted my dress to be original and special and it was everything I had hoped and more! The process was so easy and the dress was so much nicer than anything I saw in any high end store. She custom made my dress working with me to alter the design for my figure. It fit perfectly and only needed hemming. I received so many compliments on my dress and now my biggest problem is turning down requests to borrow it!

     

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!

     

I happened upon Grace + Ivory during one of their pop-up shops in DC, and I am so happy that I did. The quality and selection of dresses was noticeably better than the other bigger shops I had visited. I was so pleased with my dress, and even got compliments on the dress from strangers while we were out taking pre-wedding photos. Tina, the owner, was also great and super responsive to emails even after purchasing the dress. Finally, I love that a portion of the proceeds go to Plan International's The Girl's Fund.

     

I'm so happy I found out about Grace + Ivory; I'd looked in so many places for a dress and had not found anything that I felt fit both my style and my budget. G+I has beautiful designs both traditional and some that are really fun and unique!

I found a dress that worked perfectly for my New Orleans wedding. The customer service was also fantastic, I had a short turnaround until my wedding and G+I worked with me to get my dress quickly!

     

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Grace & Ivory!!!!! I tried on EVERY wedding dress in the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area and can honestly say that G&I dresses are more beautiful than all of them!! Working with Tina, the founder of G&I was an absolute treat. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable about her dresses, patient and accommodating to every single request, and a sweet and wonderful young entrepreneur. The customer service was hands down the best I've received in my entire life. You feel like an individual bride with G&I, not another customer on a conveyor belt.

I picked the Sienna dress, which is SO GORGEOUS, but skin tight. Tina did all of my made-to-measure measurements, and warned me that I may need additional alterations (which I did once the dress arrived). She worked with me on finding a person who could do alterations and answered all of my questions throughout the process, even though she had already sold me the dress and her part of the process was over.

Let me also say-- the prices are UNBELIEVABLY reasonable compared to other dresses. You simply cannot find this level of quality at this pricepoint elsewhere. The process of having the dresses made overseas scared me at first, but working with Tina made me realize that I could put my full trust in her and the process. It was such a delight.

Best wedding dresses ever!!!!
