Every celebration has a story

Every dress begins with a moment. A wedding aisle. A rehearsal dinner. A night that becomes part of a lifetime of memories.

At Dessy, we design for those moments — the bridesmaids, the mothers, the women who stand beside life’s most meaningful celebrations.

Our History

Founded and female co-owned since 1939

Dessy Group got its start in 1939 in New York City. Originally known as A & M Rosenthal, we produced bridal veils and headpieces designed by founder Margot Rosenthal. In the 1950s, Margot's daughter Ronnie Dessy and her husband Andrew took the lead, adding bridal and bridesmaid dresses to our line-up.

With the third generation, we became known as The Dessy Group. Ronnie's children, Alan Dessy and Vivian Dessy Diamond strengthened the focus on bridesmaid dresses and introduced social occasion dresses and menswear.
