Couture Dressmaker & Custom Tailor

Sustainable Fashion Designer

Anagrassia is a high-end clothing brand dedicated to creating beautiful, heirloom-quality garments for children and adults. Founded in 2013 by designer and couture tailor Mary Grace Godfrey, the brand began with custom bridal separates and quickly earned recognition for its craftsmanship and refined silhouettes. In recent years, Anagrassia has become especially known for its handmade First Communion dresses, custom jackets, and one-of-a-kind special occasion garments for children.

Every Anagrassia piece is designed and made in-house, using the highest quality natural materials—silk, wool, linen, and cotton—and crafted through traditional tailoring methods. Many of the brand’s designs are deeply inspired by Mary Grace’s Ukrainian heritage, blending historical embroidery motifs and folk aesthetics with modern elegance.

As a designer and artisan, Mary Grace brings couture-level construction and a strong design point of view to every piece she creates. Each garment is made by hand, one at a time, in her South Bend, Indiana atelier, just steps from the University of Notre Dame campus.

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.
