Grace + Ivory

About Grace + Ivory

Grace + Ivory, founded by a once-frustrated bride, is built on the belief that kickass womxn deserve better bridal. We are a bridal brand focused on high quality designs, made to measure, customizable options, and an overall wonderful bride-driven experience. We are the try-at-home destination for wedding dresses, and anyone can order gown samples to their door directly from our website. You can order a sample to your home to try, return, and then order your own custom made-to-measure wedding dress. If you don't want to try at home, you can try with us at our Chicago showroom, or at pop-up events with our designer in Philidelphia and DC. Our dresses are affordable because we work directly with our production team, cutting out traditional markups. Our passion lies in social enterprise and a portion of proceeds from dress purchases supports womxn's non-profits. 

You can order try-at-home sample gowns directly off our website, from each specific dress collection pages, using the “Try on at home!” buttons. After you click the “Try on at home!” button, you would select your size range, the three days you would have that specific dress (many brides coordinate the same dates to have across the dresses they are interested in), add to cart, and checkout online. After you’ve ordered, we will reach out via email to confirm, send tracking information once it ships, and be there for any questions. Once you’ve tried our dresses, mail back the samples within 3 days using our reusuable shipping boxes and the prepaid shipping label. When you’re ready to move forward, order your wedding dress right off our website! 

Tina Wong is the Founder and CEO at Grace + Ivory, a modern, curated try-at-home brand of customizable, made-to-measure wedding dresses. After seven years working in foreign aid and business development for non-profits in DC, she took the leap to fulfill her passion for business done better and launched this social enterprise in 2017. She lived abroad for four years, which is where she learned to design gowns and develop relationships with the talented humans who would become the production team for Grace + Ivory. Tina believes that social enterprise is the future of good business and is the way forward to address global development issues, so a portion of each dress purchased supports womxn’s programming. Tina is a proud Chicago native (go Cubs!), dog lover, and Loyola Chicago alum who loves travel (she’s been to six continents!), hiking, wine, and finding ways to support other ambitious womxn in the Windy City.

By designing high quality, size inclusive dresses at affordable, direct-to-consumer prices where every dress benefits womxn-focused programs, we create an amazing, "you"-driven bridal experience. We are inspired by, dedicated to, and benefiting modern womxn.
