Queenly is a dedicated marketplace and search engine for the formalwear industry. Queenly is the best way to help women find the exact dress they are looking for. They have now captured the largest formal dress inventory in the US by surpassing that of Macy’s, Rent the Runway & Nordstrom, since launching less than 2 years ago. Queenly is tackling the highly underserved prom, pageant, quinceañera, and wedding industry (and more!). They cater to this massive community of dress enthusiasts for this high priced & low usage inventory, similar to how GOAT and StockX has built a platform for the sneaker and streetwear community. While dresses and formal wear inventory have existed on other platforms for years, these businesses are missing out on solving the unique shopping challenges for this unique inventory. When a consumer desires “the perfect dress”, they have strict purchase requirements in the product’s fabric, hemline, neckline, sleeves, silhouettes, designer, color, body measurements, and price range. The company has made meaningful progress in solving that problem with their software solutions: the team has built a recommendations engine, a custom NLP search engine, and computer vision categorization system. They have managed to cut down the time spent shopping for high-priced formal dresses by 85%. Alongside their technology, they’ve also managed to hone in on fostering a sense of community for women, where Queenly serves as a way for women to help one another find their dream dress.
