Ms. DeBoer is the designer and owner/operator behind the CHICELY brand. Ever since she was a child, Shirley was fascinated by all the beautiful dresses that a girl from her neighbour wore. But there was a problem, her family was poor. She always got hand-me-down clothes and sometimes didn’t even have enough food to eat. Finally, when she was 13 years old, her mother saved up enough money to get a dress made for her, which was one of her happiest days.
Her dream was to be a fashion designer one day, so she could make all the beautiful dresses she never had the chance to wear herself and bring joy to her customers’ hearts. She achieved this dream in 2019 when she started up her online brand, CHICELY.com.
As well as making stunning clothes for women, Shirley donates a portion of the profits to disadvantaged children and women, so they don’t have to go through the hunger struggle she experienced.

Ms. DeBoer’s designs range from custom wedding and bridesmaid dresses to formal or everyday wear. Her designs include but are not limited to prom, wedding dresses, evening dresses, office dresses, and casual dresses. Ms. Deboer believes women are to be treasured and loved. Therefore, she is committed to designing dresses to elevate women and bring their hearts joyfully.

With the assistance of her team, Ms. DeBoer creates and sells her private designs on her branded website, CHICELY.com. For the latest news, sign up for our newsletter to be the first to see her latest collections.
