Our History
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.
Today, Dessy Group is led by CEO Alan Dessy and CCO Cynthia Vor Broker Dessy, who continues to innovate and inspire within the fashion world. We've become a leading designer and fabricator of bridesmaid dresses, social occasion attire, tuxedos, and wedding accessories.
With a commitment to quality and style, our wedding apparel is available online and through bridal shops and department stores across the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia.

After Six
After Six has been dedicated to style and innovation since 1903, kicking things off as a go-to name in men's formalwear. They didn't just make tuxedos—they redefined them, introducing game-changers like tuxedo rentals and even machine-washable designs. Their tuxes epitomized good vibes and sharp looks, with Hollywood icons like Tony Martin rocking them and big-name collabs with designers like Oscar de la Renta.
Fast forward to 2010, and Dessy Group brought After Six into our family, blending its rich legacy with our modern vision. Today, we're proud to keep the After Six tradition alive, designing sleek, on-trend formal options for both men and women that continue to deliver on quality, confidence, and timeless style.
