JessaKae Maddocks who owns and founded JessaKae with her husband Jordan, is the CEO and head designer of JessaKae, a designer dress and mommy-and-me brand that focuses on making women of every size feel elegant and powerful. A serial entrepreneur, Jessa combined her love of photography, fashion, and design to create JessaKae in 2016, and continues to champion size inclusion in her clothing with exclusive designs from XXS-5X. Jessa grew up watching her plus-size grandmother scour catalogs for pieces that fit because stores didn't carry her size. Often, her grandmother would have to return the clothing because it didn't fit well. With this experience from her grandmother, Jessa made it her personal mission to do her part to change the industry and offer inclusive sizing. JessaKae started in a basement in Draper, Utah. Operations eventually expanded into the kitchen where we replaced dining room tables with warehouse shelving. The space was quickly dubbed “Jessa’s sweatshop” as it wasn’t uncommon to open the front door and 6-7 people would be inside folding clothes and fulfilling orders. JessaKae has become a top competitor in designer dress wear forging the way for inclusive sizing across the globe with the knowledge that feeling beautiful has a significant impact on feeling powerful.
