Grace + Ivory

Grace + Ivory sells stunning made-to-measure wedding gowns that brides-to-be can try on either at home, or at the showroom in Chicago. Every gown costs less than $2,500 and requires much less wait time than the wedding-industrial complex’s usual offerings.

Fun fact: Founder Tina Wong decided to reinvent the wedding gown shopping experience after finding her own wedding gown search frustrating and overwhelming — and learning that a lot of her friends felt the same way.

Charities: Grace + Ivory donates 10% of proceeds from each dress sold to causes that champion women's safety, security, and personal and professional development.
