Brandon Maxwell for Brides: Ivory and White Pieces for the Wedding

Brandon Maxwell does not run a separate bridal line, but its ivory and white ready to wear works as a wedding dress for a civil ceremony, and the house suggests its Crosby gown for modern bridal moments. Coveti carries these pieces with our designer wedding dresses and on the Brandon Maxwell brand page, and most come from the Brandon Maxwell Resort 2027 collection.

Key facts

• Brandon Maxwell does not have a bridal line; the house suggests its Crosby Long Sleeve Gown for modern bridal moments.
• The Crosby Long Sleeve Gown in Ivory is floor length sponge crepe with a high neckline and long fitted sleeves, made in the United States.
• The Shelton Tailored Jacket and Irving Pant are both a wool and silk blend of 77% wool and 23% silk.
• Brandon Maxwell cuts its dresses and tailoring in US sizes 0 to 16, which is UK 4 to 20.

This guide is for the bride who wants clothes she will wear again: a gown for the ceremony, a mini for the rehearsal dinner, a change for the reception and something to dance in after midnight. It names the ivory and white pieces, says what each is made of, and shows how they fit across a wedding weekend.

Does Brandon Maxwell make wedding dresses?

Not as a bridal collection. The house is known for sharp tailoring and sculptural eveningwear, and its evening pieces in ivory, chantilly and white suit a bride who wants a ready to wear look over a traditional gown. The Crosby Long Sleeve Gown is the one piece the house itself suggests for modern bridal moments. Everything else in this guide is ready to wear that happens to be cut in the right colours.

That has practical advantages. Ready to wear is sized on the standard house scale, so a bride can try her size and order without months of fittings. The pieces also have a life after the wedding, at black tie dinners, anniversaries and summer parties.

The ceremony: gowns and dresses

1. Crosby Long Sleeve Gown in Ivory

The Crosby Long Sleeve Gown in Ivory is floor length sponge crepe, with a high neckline and long fitted sleeves. Draping falls close to the body. It is the most covered piece here, which suits a church, a town hall and a winter wedding.

2. Romy Halter Dress in Black and Chantilly

The Romy Halter Dress in Black and Chantilly is ankle length silk stretch charmeuse with a plunging halter. The black bodice over a chantilly skirt makes it a bold choice for a bride; it also suits the mother of the bride and a black tie guest.

3. Ames Strapless Dress in White

The Ames Strapless Dress in White is fitted stretch linen, with a front slit that gives ease. Linen suits a daytime ceremony in the heat, on a beach and in a garden.

The rehearsal dinner and reception change

4. Robbie Mini Dress in White

The Robbie Mini Dress in White is a fitted scoop neck mini in the wool and silk blend, 77% wool and 23% silk. Its structured seams hold their line through a long dinner.

5. Remy Halter Dress in Chantilly

The Remy Halter Dress in Chantilly is a mini in chantilly silk stretch charmeuse, gathered at the neck, with cascading ruffles and dark piping down the sides. It is a reception change that moves well on the dance floor.

6. Axel Top in Chantilly

The Axel Top in Chantilly is a sleeveless cowl neck in silk stretch charmeuse that falls in a long drape at one side. Pair it with the Irving Pant in White, a straight wool and silk trouser with a pressed crease, for a bridal suit.

Tailoring and the after party

7. Shelton Tailored Jacket in Ivory

The Shelton Tailored Jacket in Ivory is collarless and fitted, in wool and silk, with structured shoulders, curved seams at the waist and one contrasting button at the neck. Wear it over the Crosby for a cool evening and over the Irving pant for a civil ceremony.

8. Maddox Tuxedo Shirt in White

The Maddox Tuxedo Shirt in White has a sheer silk organza body and sleeves with a pleated cotton bib down the front. Organza is a sheer, crisp plain weave silk. The Barrett Tuxedo Shirt in White is the softer choice, in cotton voile with a silk lace bib.

9. Tommy Embroidered Skirt in White

The Tommy Embroidered Skirt in White is cotton voile panelled with embroidered silk lace, semi sheer and softly full under a scalloped waistband. Wear it with either tuxedo shirt for a garden after party. See our lace dresses guide for more lace.

10. Trove Cuff in Silver and Rose Quartz

The Trove Cuff in Silver and Rose Quartz is a sculptural brass cuff set with three round rose quartz cabochons, a pink quartz polished into smooth domes. The open back adjusts to the wrist, a soft note of colour against ivory.

How to build a Brandon Maxwell wedding wardrobe

• Civil ceremony: the Shelton jacket over the Axel top and Irving pant, with the Trove rose quartz cuff.
• Church and winter ceremony: the Crosby gown, long sleeves and high neck, with the Shelton over the shoulders for photographs outside.
• Rehearsal dinner: the Robbie mini in white with bare legs and a simple heel.
• Reception change: the Remy, which is short enough to dance in and still reads as bridal in chantilly.
• After party: the Maddox shirt with the Tommy skirt, light enough for a warm night.

Brandon Maxwell for brides around the world

In the United States, city hall weddings and small dinners suit the Shelton and Irving suit, while a black tie reception calls for the Crosby. In the UK, register office ceremonies have the same feel, and the long sleeves of the Crosby suit a church and the cooler months.

In Europe, a summer wedding in Italy and the south of France favours the Ames in linen by day and the Remy after dinner. In the Gulf, weddings tend toward formal evening receptions with covered dressing for many guests and brides; the Crosby, with its high neck and long sleeves, fits that dress code most closely.

Sizing a bridal look

Brandon Maxwell cuts its dresses and tailoring in US sizes 0 to 16, which is UK 4 to 20, and its knits, shirts and leather in XS to XL. The house says its pieces run true to size, so take your normal size; the models on the product pages are 178 cm tall and wear a US 2 in dresses and a small in knits. The full conversion is in our Brandon Maxwell size guide. Order early enough for a tailor to adjust the hem to your wedding shoes.

Care follows the house labels: dry clean the silk, wool silk, crepe and lace pieces, and hang halter pieces by their interior loops. For more evening labels, browse Jenny Packham and Safiyaa.
