Introduction
The Wedding Industry
In 2018 Ivory & Main was founded by Curinne Polizzi. As a plus size woman herself she understood how difficult it could be at times to find clothes, nevertheless a wedding gown. Bridal dress shopping should be a wonderful experience for everyone. so When it was time to find her own gown she set her sites on going to a plus size bridal gown shop. Unfortunately nothing like this existed in New York state. Shortly after her search she found herself placing her own wedding planning on a temporary hold, took their wedding savings and began to put a plan into action to open Ivory & Main, New Yorks 1st exclusive plus size Bridal shop.
"It's a great feeling to be able to help plus size women. The business itself, in all honesty, is a bonus, what excites me the most is being able to bring to the plus size community what we should have had in NY decades ago."
The Wedding Memories
There are a couple of Brides that we have referenced in articles written about the shop over the years, but there is one in particular that stands out the most. Shorty after Ivory & Main opened there was a bride who came in with her Mom to search for gowns. She was so sweet but very nervous and you could see she had anxiety about gown shopping. She tried on a few dresses and said yes to this beautiful lace Essense of Austrailia gown. I remember her mom going up on the platform and they were hugging each other so tightly, and as tears rolled down both of their faces the bride said to her mom, I cant believe I found the dress, I never thought I would be able to actually try them on. There wasnt a dry eye in the shop. Her anxiexy wasnt so much about finding the gown, it was actually being able to put the gown on and see how it would look on her body. This expereince should be the same for Brides of all sizes, and being plus size can make that challenging at times. We are dedicated to making the day as memorable as it should be.

BOLI Love!
Ivory and main was truly the only place I went to that made me feel good as a plus sized bride. Their dress selections are beautiful and the staff is amazing.
This was the only store I went to and purchased my Maggie Sottero Roxanne dress on my first visit. The girls were knowledgeable and made it a comfortable experience. I absolutely loved my dress!
I said yes to the dress at Ivory and Main in Sayville. Dress shopping was something I’ve always dreaded and wasn’t looking forward to at all. But they were so helpful, patient and personable. It’s a store for plus size brides so I had plenty of options to choose from. Got an off the rack dress within my budget.
I cannot begin to explain how much anxiety I had about having to go dress shopping. But after my first appointment at Ivory and Main, all that anxiety disappeared! The staff was amazing. My consultant, Gianna, not only made me feel comfortable, but she listened to what my vision was. And at the end of my second appointment she found me the dress of my dreams. It was a dress I never thought I would like, but she convinced me to give it a try and she was right!
I had my alterations done there as well and that process was completely seamless. Leigha is a true genius. Run, don’t walk to Ivory and Main. You will not be disappointed!!

As a curvier girl, I felt extremely anxious about the prospect of trying on wedding gowns worried that nothing would work for my body and would thus take away from the experience. I could not have been more thrilled with my experience with Ivory & Main. The women who work there are beyond wonderful and make you feel extremely comfortable throughout the entirety of the process, and I ultimately walked away with two different dresses because I couldn’t decide which I loved more. I absolutely recommend them for anyone who is on the curvier side!
The ladies at Ivory & Main were amazing from start to finish, especially Gianna! I got my alterations done with them as well and they did an amazing job. I lost quite a bit of weight for the wedding and I was really nervous about it being taken in that much, but they reassured me that it would be fine, and they were right!
| Ivory & Main made me feel so special from the minute I walked in. The experience for a plus size bride can be scary and not knowing whether you would leave dress shopping feeling beautiful and bridal can be nerve wracking, but the team at Ivory & Main made the process a dream! I found the most beautiful dress and left with a feeling of confidence that I’ve never had before!! |
Wonderful shop, full of dresses. I had an amazing experience here. The staff was wonderful to me & my family. I left with the dress of my dreams at a reasonable price.
Such a wonderful experience finding my dress for my wedding. Leah was super helpful when helping me pick out a dress. I felt Beautiful and confident thanks to her.
The owners and staff are so beyond amazing! They make everything you might need to do for the dress buying process easy. As a size 28/30 bride, it was a magnificent experience finding my dream dress in the first visit! My dress appointment was nothing but smiles, laughter, and high confidence.
As a plus size bride, there is simply nothing like this. This dress shop takes the dread out of in person wedding dress shopping for curvy women. I drove down from Massachusetts and it was So SO worth it. I can’t say enough good things about my experience there, the dresses, the stylist I worked with, and the interior!
What an amazing bridal store! My daughter bought her dress here. The staff is amazing. They make you feel like family. The best, most comfortable bridal store ever! Elle, who helped my daughter, was so knowledgeable, and so attentive. I couldn’t have asked for better service.
An absolute "must" for curvy brides! The selection truly is vast carrying all of the best designers. At no point did I feel limited in my dress shopping experience here. Leah was amazingly helpful, patient and thoughtfully picked some truly stunning dresses based on the vibe I described for my wedding.
Ok so if I could give this place a 10 STAR rating I would. They have a variety of dresses in every size, for the smaller waist and for those of us with a curve. This shop is amazing as they have larger sizes so I could actually try on sample dress, that fit me. They were so helpful and truly care about ensuring you find a wedding dress you fall in love with.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I had a wonderful experience getting my dress from here. Gianna was SO helpful and sweet and made me feel so special. Everyone in the store was just so nice and truly caring. The dresses are GORGEOUS and its so nice being able to have a store like this that caters to curvy/plus size women. I could not recommend this place more.
