Fashion Show by: Bridal Boutique by New Name

Bridal Boutique by New Name offers brides a beautiful, private boutique experience while supporting a greater purpose. Every dress purchased directly supports women who have been trafficked or exploited in Chicagoland, with 100% of all proceeds funding counseling, safe housing, transportation, medical care, education, and practical needs.

Our boutique features over 250 designer gowns, all gently used or brand new, offered at 50-80% off retail. Each dress is thoughtfully curated, and our collection is always expanding with on-trend styles arriving every week. Past brides can also give back in a beautiful way by donating their dresses and contributing to our mission.

Whether you purchase your dream gown at or donate your dress to Bridal Boutique by New name, you become part of another woman’s journey towards healing, hope, and new beginnings. #blesswithyourdress
