The Latest Drop: Grace + Ivory’s New Dresses

Last month, we were incredibly excited and honored to put on our debut runway show, SOLO, as part of the official Chicago Fashion Week lineup. It was momentous for Grace + Ivory as a label: We held the event in our newly expanded Bucktown showroom (the official unveiling of the space!) and worked with an amazing team of vendors who have cheered us on and supported us throughout our journey. The house was packed, and we’re still reeling from the outpouring of love, encouragement, and energy we felt that night.

But, the dresses. In addition to favorites from our rotating core collection and a group of gowns released just this summer, we showed SEVEN brand-new Grace + Ivory wedding dresses, never before seen until they made this runway debut. (In one case, a dress SO new we didn’t even have time to get it printed on the program, but just had to squeeze it into the show).

The newest styles include vintage-inspired wedding dresses, sleek modern wedding dresses (and, as is core to our ethos, size-inclusive wedding dresses). They showcase color, romance, and a movement toward fashion-forward bridal.

And now, they’re available to try on in our showroom. Keep scrolling to learn more about some of our newest designs, then click below to make your appointment.

KIMORA

The newest ballgown wedding dress in our collection, Grace + Ivory Kimora is a silk taffeta ballgown with Chantilly lace detailing on playfully pleated cups. Exaggerated panniers at the hips add volume to the skirt, and a horsehair edge hem gives it structure. Covered buttons down the back add a romantic finishing touch.

DAPHNE

Daphne is a a drop waist scoop neck in the softest shade of pale pink Mikado, with vertical seaming and sweet rosette detailing on a low curved back. She can be worn simply or styled a dozen different ways; on the runway, we showed her with our Dew Drop veil.

KAI

Feather-light tulle is the star of the show in this strapless tulle wedding dress. It’s ruched across the bodice and then draped over a structured hoop skirt in irregular, frothy tulle layers cascading like water to the floor.

SABRINA

Maybe our sultriest new addition, Sabrina is a deep plunge V halter wedding dress with a nude-blush underlay. She’s entirely hand-beaded (no easy feat!) in an intentional array: The beading cascades toward the centerline, creating a dramatic silhouette before dropping off into a light and airy skirt.

IRIS

Rendered in a textural silk wool we love for winter weddings, Iris has a drop waist, box pleated skirt and is scattered with laser-cut and hand-beaded silk wool florals. BTW, she has a sister dress: a tea-length, pale pink version we call Effie.
