Couture Dressmaker & Tailor

Anagrassia is a couture atelier devoted to creating heirloom quality clothing for children and adults. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and carefully made to be worn for life’s meaningful occasions and treasured for years to come.

Founded in 2013 by designer and couture tailor Mary Grace Godfrey, Anagrassia began with a small collection of custom bridal separates and one of a kind garments. Through a combination of skilled craftsmanship and distinctive design, her work quickly gained attention online and spread through word of mouth. Her pieces went viral and were shipped to clients around the world. Over the years, Mary Grace has sold thousands of garments worldwide, with pieces worn by celebrities, notable families, and members of royalty.

Today, Anagrassia is especially known for handmade First Holy Communion dresses, custom bridal and special occasion wear, tailored jackets, and heirloom garments for children. Many clients come with a meaningful fabric, a family garment they hope to preserve, or an idea they want brought to life. Each piece begins with conversation, design, fabric selection, and careful hands at work in the atelier.

Every Anagrassia garment is designed and made in house using fine natural materials including silk, wool, linen, and cotton. Traditional couture dressmaking and tailoring techniques remain central to the work. Hand finishing, thoughtful structure, and careful shaping are all part of the process, creating garments that feel beautiful both inside and out.

Mary Grace’s design perspective is also shaped by her Ukrainian heritage and her love of historical clothing. Traditional embroidery details and old world tailoring often find their way into her work, blending heritage with timeless elegance in a way that feels both personal and enduring.

Each garment is made one at a time in the Anagrassia atelier in Mishawaka, Indiana, near the University of Notre Dame. From the first sketch to the final fitting, Mary Grace approaches every piece with the belief that beautifully made clothing carries meaning and that the garments we remember most are often the ones made by hand with intention for life’s most memorable moments.

Anagrassia's Mission 

Our mission is to make the world more beautiful. More than an ideal, it is also very practical. When it comes to sharing life and all that it holds, we are on the same team. The throwaway mentality of a fast-fashion culture is not sustainable. Nor is it desirable. Georgio Armani once said, “The difference between fashion and style is quality.” Good quality lasts and is therefore always in style, because it is tied to something deeper – beauty. Beauty gives us enthusiasm for living, and we want to build more of this into the lives of our customers.
 
This is our niche. In short, we believe that sustainability can be reached by striving for beauty. Such products take time to make. They are created by skilled artisans, and often made in small batches or custom-made orders. As a result, they are cherished, maintained, and passed on to future generations.
