Seeing a growing market of brides who want anything but a standard wedding dress, Ann Taylor started offering a selection of dresses for brides and bridesmaids looking for something different. And although Ann Taylor doesn’t have a wedding dress shoppe anymore, you can still find their designs on resale at lower prices!
For those of you have a second wedding, we highly recommend checking out their wedding dresses in particular, it surprised us just how many of them were perfect for second weddings based on their simplicity and price points.
Who is Ann Taylor?
Most of us assume that Ann Taylor is the name of the genius behind the designs. But, in fact, “Ann Taylor” is actually what started the company.
Ann Taylor isn’t a woman but the dress that made a dream come to fruition.
Legacy & History
According to Ann Inc.:
“Ann Taylor began in 1954 with a dress and a dream. When Richard Liebeskind opened his first shop in New Haven, CT, he named it “Ann Taylor” after the best-selling dress style in his father’s own store. That dress represented his vision of the modern, stylish American woman. With that vision, Ann Taylor has grown from a regional chain to an iconic brand with 242 full-price and 122 outlet stores across North America.”

But what women value is what they have always valued: connecting with others, making smart choices, looking and feeling great. Living life fully means women choose to play all their roles with confidence and style.
That is why we’re here.
