Founded in 2011, Princessly has been a leading designer of formal girl’s dresses, special occasion dresses, and flower girl dresses for weddings. Since then, the company has been retailing dresses and gowns to over 35,000 end consumers in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, German, Russia, and Qatar.

The move is designed to support distributors and boutiques in their pursuit of wholesale dresses for girls at a minimum commitment of just $500 – meaning businesses can secure beautiful garments for their own stores and operations with financial ease.
“Our dresses are one-of-a-kind that you can’t find elsewhere, other than a few of the top players in the formal dresses category, such as Azazie.com, Jjshouse.com, and Hebeos.com, as we are the dress maker behind them,” says CEO of the company, Michael Young. “A very considerable part of the flower girl dresses on their websites are made and fulfilled by us. Therefore, this is the chance for small and local players in the industry to have a parallel chance of competing with the top guys, simply by joining our wholesale program!”
To meet the needs of all wholesale clients, Princessly offers lifetime order milestones with varying discounts up to 43% off with a minimum commitment of $500.

General Motors Co. announced today that Dan Ammann, Chief Executive Officer of Cruise, is leaving the company. Kyle Vogt, Cruise President and Chief Technical Officer, will serve as interim CEO. In addition, Wesley Bush, the former Chairman and CEO of Northrop Grumman and a GM board member, will join the Cruise Board.
Alongside this leadership change, GM will accelerate the strategy the company detailed in its recent Investor Day, in which Cruise will play an integral role in building GMs autonomous vehicle (AV) platform as GM aggressively pursues addressable AV markets beyond rideshare and delivery.
GM is deeply committed to its vision of zero crashes, zero emissions, zero congestion, and AV technology will play a critical role in realizing it. Under GMs ownership to date, Cruise has seized the leadership position in commercial autonomous ridesharing and has created significant value for both GM shareholders and Cruises minority shareholders.
By continuing to work together, GM and Cruise bring massive manufacturing and technological scale to autonomy that will rapidly drive costs down. The integrated strategy will also maximize GM and Cruises total addressable market by leveraging synergies, leading to greater, more sustainable value for both GM and Cruise shareholders.
