At Ignite Evenings®, we believe that every woman deserves to feel confident, elegant, and beautiful for any special occasion. That’s why we create exquisitely designed dresses, gowns, and eveningwear for women of all ages and sizes.
Our Story
The Ignite Evenings® brand was founded in 2007 with a vision to make high-quality, fashion-forward special occasion wear accessible to women nationwide. We started as a small collection focused on formal gowns and cocktail dresses, and over the years have expanded our offerings to include bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride/groom dresses, prom dresses, pageant gowns, and more.
Despite our growth, we remain committed to our founding values of inclusive sizing, affordable luxury, and delivering standout styles you can’t find anywhere else. We take pride in being a trusted destination for all your formalwear needs, whether it’s a wedding, cruise, prom, gala, or other momentous event.
Our Designs
The Ignite Evenings® design team travels the world in search of inspiration for our specialty occasion wear. We carefully curate the latest trends from the runways of New York, London, Milan, and Paris, putting our own unique twist on classic and contemporary styles.
You’ll discover a wide range of exquisite details in our collection, from figure-flattering silhouettes to hand beading, imported laces, luxe fabrics, custom prints, and more. We use premium fabrics like chiffons, satins, lace, tulles, and crepes to craft dresses that are both striking and supremely comfortable.
Our in-house pattern makers and garment technicians bring the designer’s vision to life. Each dress is meticulously cut and sewn to ensure consistently exceptional fit and quality.
No matter your personal style or event, Ignite Evenings® has the perfect dress or gown that will make you look and feel amazing. We offer trend-driven looks along with timeless elegant styles so you always find that special outfit for your special occasion.
Inclusive Sizing
One of our core values is providing inclusive sizing so women of all shapes and sizes can discover their dream dress. We proudly offer a wide range of regular, plus size, and petite options, including:
- Regular sizes 0-20 with a tailored fit designed to highlight your best assets
