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 their designs are under $3,000). 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.
This trail-blazing company was founded by Tina Wong, who saw the lack of affordable, well-made gowns when she was planning her own nuptials. Grace + Ivory focuses on providing exquisite made-to-order 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 schedule their measurements, confirm custom details, and sign off on next steps. The team is easily accessible and works with you every step of the way. Wedding dresses will then be made-to-order and made-to-measure. They encourage couples to purchase their dress at least 5-9 months in advance as you'll want to received your dress 1-3 months in advance for final fittings and bustles; rush orders can also be accommodated on a case by case basis.

Tina and Alyssa were welcoming and accommodating when I visited twice before buying my wedding dress from Grace + Ivory in 2024. I purchased a dress I wouldn't have initially expected to after weighing it against another Grace + Ivory dress in a completely different style. Tina and Alyssa helped me to customize my dress so that it better fit my needs, and I felt absolutely beautiful in it. Their attention and care made for a great experience all around, and my favorite after visiting a few other shops.

I absolutely adore the Grace + Ivory team! They helped me make my dream dress come to life. I visited the Chicago location with my MOHs, mom and sister and tried on several dresses. I combined the Kali dress with a plain tulle skirt and train and it was everything I could have hoped for. They were lovely to work with, communicative and created my dress at a reasonable price. I also got my veil from them and am so grateful. Highly recommend Chicago brides check them out in person.

My experience with Grace + Ivory was nothing short of amazing. Alyssa was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. The salon is beautiful and totally stress-free, and the dresses are gorgeous and shockingly affordable. I loved the ability to customize details about my dress and make it truly one of a kind. I would absolutely recommend a visit to Grace + Ivory if you're looking for an all around amazing experience.

I absolutely loved my experience here. Tina is so friendly and knowledgeable about dresses, and all of her dresses are high quality and simply gorgeous. There is something for everyone here, and Tina was more than willing to work with you for customizations (such as different sleeves, necklines, and even different fabric colors!) and alterations, and has some very budget friendly dresses as well! Absolutely a must-see shop when dress shopping!

I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with my experience at Grace + Ivory! From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt welcomed and at ease, thanks to the amazing team, Tina and Alyssa.
The semi-custom option was a game-changer for me. I loved being able to swap in the fabric I wanted for my dress and even add a stunning cape later on. This personal touch made my dress feel uniquely mine, and I couldn't be more obsessed with the final result!
Not only are the dresses breathtakingly beautiful, but I also admire Grace + Ivory's commitment to giving back. With 10% of proceeds from every dress sold being donated to the Chicago Foundation for Women, it was this incredible mission that initially drew me in.
I am beyond grateful to Tina, Alyssa, and the entire Grace + Ivory team for making my wedding dress experience unforgettable.

I had the most incredible experience with Grace & Ivory, and I can't recommend them enough for any bride looking for a truly personalized, beautiful gown. From start to finish, the process was seamless. They worked closely with me to customize my wedding dress, ensuring every detail matched my vision perfectly.
The craftsmanship was stunning, and the quality of the fabrics exceeded my expectations. On my wedding day, I felt amazing in my dress—it fit like a glove and made me feel so special. The attention to detail and the care they put into the design really showed.
I especially appreciated their customer service. They were patient, responsive, and made sure that my dress was exactly what I dreamed of. Grace & Ivory made my wedding dress experience unforgettable, and I couldn’t have been happier with the final result. If you're looking for a dress that's tailored to your unique style, Grace & Ivory is the way to go!

Wedding dress shopping at Grace + Ivory was so wonderful - they have a gorgeous selection of dresses that are completely customizable to allow any bride to find a unique and personal look. Individualized and designer looks for a fraction of the price of many boutique dress shops in Chicago. I didn't end up buying my dress here, but went twice to try on the runner up and had the best experience. Alyssa was so welcoming and wonderful to work with, and I can't recommend Grace + Ivory enough!

Loved working with Grace and Ivory to find my wedding dress! Alyssa was a joy to work with-we bonded over her upcoming wedding as well! The dress making process was fairly quick, and they gave great recommendations for seamstresses in the area. I would recommend this bridal shop to anyone in the Chicagoland area.

I can’t say enough good things about Grace + Ivory and my experience there. Alyssa was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, but didn’t put any pressure on me which really allowed me to enjoy trying on different kinds of dresses and learning about what styles and silhouettes I liked. Their overall mission is great and I love that a portion of their proceeds go towards local women’s organizations in Chicago. Another thing that sets them apart is how customizable the dresses are. Love a dress but don’t love the neckline? They’ll work with you to help make your dream dress! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone in Chicago looking for a wedding dress, but bonus points that they also have a try on at home system so anyone can shop with them! I also can’t wait for their bridal minis to launch soon 👀🥰

Grace + Ivory was a beautiful bridal boutique! I had Alyssa and she was amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. She made me feel welcomed and special. You can tell she really cared about what I had to say. She easily accommodated to my family and I. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured. She let me try on as many dresses as I need to so that I could get a better idea, and she helped me narrow down the style and feel I wanted in a wedding dress. The boutique itself has so much to offer. The dresses are made to fit you specifically, which means you have a bit more control. You can change or fix some details to the dress. Which I absolutely loved and did not realize was a thing. The best plus of this place is how comfortable and cozy it is. They had a variety of different dresses in so many different styles. Dresses that you don’t see everywhere. All the dresses were beautiful and comfortable. They all fit my budget perfectly too! You have your own private area with comfortable seating. The best part is the shop and dresses were stunning. I would recommend Grace + Ivory to anyone!

I had the absolute best experience working with the whole team at Grace + Ivory. I purchased my wedding dress there for my November 2023 wedding, and I was overjoyed with the result. I initially loved the ability to look at the actual dresses they had available on their website. This made the initial appointment so much more exciting because I got to see the exact dress instead of concepts from a designer I had not selected. Since I could fully customize my dress, there were so many fun elements that I changed to make my final pick absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Grace + Ivory if you are looking for your wedding outfit!

She was so helpful, kind and willing to work with me on any changes I needed. She gave great suggestions and offered various option. My dress try-on experience in the Chicago salon was wonderful as well!

Grace + Ivory was the third dress shop I went to and I found them off TikTok! They went around asking men at Ribfest how much they think wedding dresses cost. I thought the video was hilarious and decided to check out their dresses online. They had a beautiful selection of wedding dresses. I made my appointment which was very easy to do online. Tina was the one who helped me try on dresses. I remember trying on the dress I would pick for my wedding and thinking how stunning it looked on me. I did not have friends or family with me when I went to try on the dress but I was able to facetime my family which made it so special. What is really special about Grace + Ivory is that you can try on dresses at home! I was able to take home a sample dress back to Texas and show my family they dress I would wear for my wedding! It was so great to be able to share that moment with them. I highly recommend trying out wedding dresses at Grace + Ivory, both Tina and Alyssa were amazing to work with.

I had a wonderful dress experience with Grace + Ivory. Trying on dresses in their showroom was so much fun, and I found several that I truly loved. The made-to-measure aspect of their dresses, coupled with their price point, truly cannot be beaten. Alyssa and Tina were so great to work with; they gave me styling tips, let me come in for multiple visits to debate things and decide, and were generally excited about my wedding. Finally, on my wedding day, I felt so confident in my dress, and received so many compliments. I also love their socially-conscious way of doing business. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Grace + Ivory!

I had always envisioned myself in a red romantic style wedding dress for the big day, but oh man I was not prepared for how difficult it would be to find. I came across Grace + Ivory and fell IN LOVE with their Sloane style! It was quick and easy scheduling a quick consult to talk about a non-traditional wedding dress, Tina, Alyssa and Sarah were super helpful working out how they could help make that red romantic style dress a reality!
The try at home option was a big help as i'm in a different state and it just felt so much more comfortable than going to a shop to try on gowns. We were able to make it a fun little lady's day at home too. The dress was perfect and they responded super quick with swatches of different reds. The whole process from the try at home dresses, their quick thoughtful responses, updates on the dress being made and careful packaging to ship the dress made it very clear they care just as much as the bride! I can't shout Grace + Ivory's praises enough, they played a major role in making our New Orleans wedding truly us!

They had samples based on my size and gave suggestions on how the dresses could be customized based on my vision! I thought their prices were so affordable for the great quality of the dresses. Their studio is beautiful and so comfortable. My mom and sister had a great time as well! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I'd give 6 stars if I could. My entire experience with Grace + Ivory was flawless. I traveled from out of state to try on dresses and fell in love the second I walked in their showroom. Alyssa helped me find THE one. She was knowledgeable and made me feel extremely comfortable. They take TONS of measurements so the dress is truly built just for you. They shipped my dress to me and it came when they told me it did. I also got a custom veil that I cannot wait to wear. Their pricing is very reasonable, especially given how personalized each piece is made. I would absolutely recommend Grace + Ivory for your wedding attire needs.

She even pulled a new design from the back that wasn’t technically available yet for me to try and I ended up loving it! I wore the Carmen dress at our beach wedding in Costa Rica and felt so beautiful. They even recommended tailors in the area that I used. I also love that a portion of each sale is given to programs that support women and girls. Highly recommend Grace + Ivory!

Grace + Ivory is the best and I would recommend them to anyone. I was feeling stressed by the whole process of finding a wedding dress. I felt overwhelmed by the idea of going to a store to try on dresses, and my closest people wouldn't have been able to be there in person with me. My mom found Grace + Ivory online, so we ordered several dresses for me to try on at home. The try-at-home process was so seamless and easy. I had a design consult with Alyssa to create a custom dress based on elements from 3 of the dresses I tried on. Alyssa and Tina were so open and supportive throughout the design process. I was blown away by how my dress turned out. The quality is great and I love knowing that I have a one-of-a-kind dress. It fit perfectly and didn't need any alterations. I couldn't have been happier and received many compliments at my wedding.

Tina and the Grace + Ivory team helped me customize one of their beautiful designs to make my perfect wedding dress! The dress arrived and fit almost perfectly, only requiring a few minor alterations. The custom belt I requested was beautiful and looked like it always belonged on my gown! As someone who has body proportions that don’t work well with off-the-rack shopping, my wedding dress shopping experience had been so stressful until I found Grace + Ivory. I was so thankful to be able to have a dress made to my proportions from the start, and I felt so much more comfortable and confident throughout my experience with at-home try on and purchasing my dress with Grace + Ivory.

I couldn't be more happy with my Grace + Ivory experience! From the moment I walked into the store, the experience just felt different than all the other dress appointments I had throughout the Chicago area. It was personal, intimate, and really inviting.
Tina (the founder) is fantastic to work with and ensured all the sizing was correct before finalizing the order. She clearly explained the process and how each dress is custom made based on multiple measurements. I had a slight tweak I wanted to make on the dress and veil and they were more than accommodating.
Communication throughout the process has been fantastic and they always respond very quickly. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process which I really appreciated. As mentioned, the prices are very reasonable and it even includes a donation to a local Chicago charity which I really appreciated.
I received the dress yesterday and it fits PERFECT, exactly how they explained it would! I couldn't be more grateful for having their wedding dress on my special day and have been recommending this place to everyone that is getting married. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful it was throughout our entire evening!

I cannot recommend Grace + Ivory more for purchasing a wedding dress. I initially found them by googling wedding dress stores in Chicago and upon reviewing their website, there were so many dresses I fell in love with and had to try on immediately. Outside of the dresses, I loved that Grace and Ivory was a locally women owned business that had a charitable aspect to dress purchases. The ability to customize the dress I wanted and the dress being made to size was the cherry on top. For the quality of the dresses, the cost was very affordable including the additions for customizations.
Tina and team make you feel like part of their family, and in the chaos of wedding planning it was really wonderful to have one vendor I was confident in and never needed to worry about. Even though my wedding is well over, I can't wait to see the new designs and accomplishments these ladies achieve!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I had at Grace and Ivory! I was a very tentative bride who was incredibly nervous and hesitant about the shopping process. Not only did they ease my fears, but they made it one of the best experiences of my entire wedding process. I felt beautiful, seen, and cared about on a personal level from the moment I walked in through the purchase of my dress. I could not recommend them highly enough!!!

I went to Grace & Ivory over a year ago for our wedding in May 2022. Tina was wonderful to work with, and she was prompt with any questions we had. The dress was made-to-measure, and it required such minimal alterations after receiving (just bustles and accommodating to heel length). All their dresses are absolutely beautiful, and I'm so glad to have found Grace & Ivory!

I had bought a wedding dress I was not in love with and waited last minute to look for something else. Grace and Ivory saved my day! I found a dress I loved and they very quickly made it to order and shipped it to me. The owner - Tina was very responsive to all my anxious emails and kept me updated on the process. I loved this dress, I loved the try at home option, and I loved the transparency of their customer service. 10/10 would recommend!

She was so sweet and helpful throughout this entire experience! I’m so happy with my dress! All the dresses are beautiful and reasonably priced for the quality!

I had such a wonderful experience with all the women who helped me at Grace and Ivory! I was looking for a dress that was unique and one that I could personalize. I had a vision of what I wanted (customized green beading on the Elise dress) and they were able to accommodate, and my dress turned out absolutely stunning! They were easy and fun to work with - they gave me so much advice and helped me make choices throughout the whole experience so I was never overwhelmed. They are very knowledgeable with everything wedding and event planning. I also wanted to support a local, individual and women owned business - they checked all the boxes! They truly are a one-of-a-kind business who work to provide quality, handmade dresses.

I purchased Daniela wedding dress and a custom made chapel length veil. My dress and the veil were perfect for our destination wedding in southern Spain! I felt extremely beautiful on my wedding day. Everyone at Grace+Ivory were extremely professional and friendly. Grace +Ivory is a perfect place to find your dream wedding dress!

The whole process with Grace and Ivory from start to finish was seamless. I did their try on at home program and ordered 9 dresses. I was able to try them on comfortably with my mom and aunts and decide on a dress. Once I decided I worked with the team to add a customized skirt and discuss what I was looking for in a dress. I sent in measurements and my perfect dress arrived in just a few months. I am beyond happy with my choice to have such a unique dress that also gives back. The staff and finished product were beyond expectations.

This whole fitting experience was refreshing. Tina and Sarah are both great. I worked with Sarah for my home try-on and Tina for my in-person fitting. This was my third dress fitting and morale was pretty low at this point. Tina took her time for the fitting to make sure everyone felt comfortable and also to learn more about the wedding. There was no sense of rush or hurry. Most other places just have you throw on the gown and take a few pictures, but Tina made sure to clip the gown so that it best fit to my figure, which really made all the difference! You can tell that she really loves each gown (which she designed!), and that they were made with the highest quality and attention to detail. She was very thorough with the measurements and I'm excited to receive my gown. Highest praise for Grace and Ivory.

Starting the search for a wedding gown during a pandemic was difficult! Bridal salons were closed in Chicago and I was unsure where to begin. Luckily I found Grave + Ivory and I was able to try on wedding dresses at home! They have a beautiful selection of gowns with options to customize them so you can truly have a unique, one of a kind gown that is made based on your measurements. I would highly recommend Grace + Ivory to anyone searching for their perfect dress!

Went to Grace + Ivory yesterday to look for my wedding dress. I was super nervous because I hadn’t been finding my dress and so I didn’t know what to expect. I went to their new brick and mortar shop and it was so cute! It was a spacious loft vibe with all the dresses hung up. I was the only one there so I had it all to myself. I worked with Alyssa who helped me figure out which style and colors I liked. She was super sweet and took pics/videos for me to send to my family. When I FaceTimed my mom and sister Alyssa helped me out and showed the dress to them for me. I was able to try on all the dresses I wanted and didn’t feel rushed or pressured into deciding right then and there. Towards the end of our appointment Tina came in and spoke with me about all the ways we could alter and customize my dress.
I actually found my perfect dress there and am SO excited about it! It is everything I was looking for and more!
Also, you’re uncomfortable going into their store, you can go on their website and have them send dresses to you to try on. All their dresses are shown on the website so you can see what your options are.
Other details to note:
- dresses are really reasonably priced at $2,200 or less
- they can customize the dress in whatever way you need
- the dresses are customized to fit you perfectly
- they said they take about 4-6 months to get the dress made
All in all it was the exact experience I was hoping to have with dress shopping and I highly recommend them!

I had an awesome experience at Grace + Ivory. I had an in-person appointment at their pop-up location in Chicago and I was really impressed with their dress selection and business model. My stylist, Alyssa, was so helpful and thoughtful in the dresses she helped me select. She also provided advice on how to customize the designs to get what I truly wanted. The founder, Tina, was also present and did a wonderful job explaining more about the dresses and the next steps in the process of getting a custom dress. Everyone in my party had a good experience and the space was beautiful. Although I didn't end up finding "the" dress at Grace + Ivory, there were many styles I loved. They also had the most comfortable dresses with the softest fabrics of any of the salons I tried!

I cannot recommend Grace + Ivory enough! I had to choose my wedding dress during the pandemic, so the at home try on was absolutely perfect. However, even outside of the pandemic, an at home try on is so much fun! They send you everything you need and the entire process is so easy.
The second I put my dress on, I knew it was the one for me. Buying the dress was easy and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible it is to buy a gown that is made specifically for you. The only alterations needed were my bustle. Compared to friends who bought their dresses in a shop, I spent thousands less on a beautiful dress!

Grace and Ivory provided a dress for a wedding event that I participated in. Tina was the absolute BEST to work with. I can’t say enough about her professionalism but also how fun she was and how comfortable and beautiful she made me feel. The dress was beyond stunning and made me feel incredibly confident. I would recommend her 100x over.
