Making the Ella Dress - A Classy Fall Dress

There’s something powerful about a woman who chooses to be soft, vulnerable and delicate.


When the world told you to be tough, hard, and loud just to survive… you did what you had to.


But now, something inside you is longing to accept that woman inside—the soft, feminine version of yourself you buried to stay safe. 


The version that loves to feel beautiful, elegant, and desired in her own skin. The version that doesn’t apologize for being delicate.


So, at Tiana Bay, we created the Ella Wool Mini Dress


This isn’t just another dress. It’s a declaration. A subtle but unmistakable way to say:

“I’m allowed to be soft and strong. I’m allowed to love Jesus, dressing up and being girly and feminine"

Crafted from 100% wool crepe and fully lined with a luxurious silk blend, the Ella Dress is designed for those fall mornings when you want to feel put together, graceful, and confident—without trying too hard. 


It’s structured, but not stiff. Feminine, but not flimsy or frumpy


And made in a limited batch of just 50 pieces.


Because you’re not like everyone else.


And you deserve more than the cheap, fast fashion brands that exploit our beauty and our community while giving nothing back.

Why We Made This Dress

Too many brands market to Black women but don’t see us. 


They sell us “empowerment” while cutting corners on quality—and profit off the same stereotypes we’re trying to escape.


So, my sister and I started Tiana Bay to change that.


Growing up, we were sick and tired of the negative stereotypes surrounding black women. And as black women, we were sick of it because all these stereotypes removed our womanhood. 


So our brand was created to challenge those negative stereotypes and portray us as soft, feminine and delicate. 


We hand-select and design our feminine style to help women express themselves as soft, delicate, pretty and vulnerable. 


We exist to celebrate your God-given femininity and provide high-quality feminine styles that celebrate you. And the fact that you were created on purpose for a purpose

What Women Are Saying About Us

Valerie, Co-Founder of Tiana Bay

My sister and I started Tiana Bay with a goal to help women reclaim their femininity with a curated collection of high-quality, classy, and playful styles. Our online women's clothing boutique was created out of frustration to how black women were negatively portrayed in the media and our goal is to challenge the negative stereotypes surrounding black women and celebrate a Christian femininity. 

"I’ll admit I was hesitant because I had never heard of this boutique but it had the perfect dress for my daughters christening at a great price! Well I was pleasantly surprised! The communication about the order was top notch customer service and it got here so quickly! Then I opened it up and the quality was there! It has good weight to it and fine detail! Definitely was a good purchase! Highly recommend!.”

At Tiana Bay, we believe that dressing feminine is more than clothes. It's about embracing our God-given femininity, how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world. Growing up, my sister and I struggled to find soft feminine clothing that reflected the women we wanted to become. So, we started a feminine clothing brand to help you feel soft, delicate and beautiful while challenging the negative cultural stereotypes. We want to help you celebrate the strength and beauty that lies within a woman who knows she was born for such a time as this.
