In the world of fashion, size should never dictate style. Despite the positive strides made by the body-positive movement, the plus size clothing sector still falls short in offering trendy options. Often, it feels like the goal of plus size apparel is merely to cover up rather than to celebrate individuality and fashion. This is where designers Mia Thompson and Sarah Blake come in with their game-changing line, Curvy Chic.
Launched just last week, the Curvy Chic collection allows shoppers to embrace their love for fashion without the need to compromise due to their size. In a chat with Fashion Forward, both Thompson and Blake expressed their dissatisfaction with the existing options in the plus size market, which often lack creativity and style. “We’ve always been passionate about fashion. It’s disheartening that many brands treat plus sizes as an afterthought,” Blake explained. “We wanted to create a line that reflects our style without dilution.”
With prices ranging from $35 to $85, this collection proves that looking good doesn’t have to come at a steep price. As a new mom navigating a body that fluctuates between “standard” and “plus” sizes, I’ve had my share of tearful moments in dressing rooms. Curvy Chic, offering sizes from 12 to 6X, feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s faced similar challenges.
Considering that the average woman in the U.S. wears a size 16, it’s puzzling why most retailers continue to overlook this reality. Thompson and Blake believe that inclusive fashion is beneficial not only for consumers but also for brands. “We’re advocates for accessibility in fashion, and we’re thrilled to offer a wider size range than many other brands,” Thompson shared with Fashion Forward.
Often, online shopping features clothing modeled by traditionally thin individuals, leaving many women uncertain about how the styles will actually look on their bodies. It’s frustrating, to say the least. Curvy Chic aims to change this narrative with inclusivity and flair.
The Curvy Chic line is as innovative as the duo behind it. We’re excited to see the future collections they’ll create, which will surely continue to inspire confidence in women everywhere.
