The Journey of Creating Curve: A Size Inclusive Collection

This realization led to the birth of my new collection within the brand, aptly named Curve. I wanted to start at size 14 and go up to 22-24, with hopes of expanding further if successful. To redefine perceptions, I introduced five alphabetical sizes (A-E) within this numerical range. Additionally, I encouraged all women, regardless of size, to know their measurements—a crucial aspect, especially when shopping online where sizing can vary across brands.

When designing the Curve collection, I aimed to avoid the pitfalls of simply enlarging regular sizes. Understanding that proportions change significantly in larger sizes, I ordered a tailor's mannequin with the specific proportions and measurements of my size C. This allowed me to create designs that catered to the unique curves and proportions of curvier women, providing a perfect fit and flattering silhouette.

Determined to offer exciting and sophisticated options, I curated the Curve collection to include a mix of easier shapes and more fitted structured pieces. I wanted to empower women and celebrate their curves, stepping away from the typical loose or empire waist styles that were prevalent. It was a joyous experience, collaborating with my fit model, Cassia, who provided valuable feedback throughout the design process.

With the collection complete, it was time for the photoshoot featuring the amazing Anysha, an internationally recognized plus-size model. Seeing the finished pieces styled on a model brought my vision to life, and it was truly a memorable and exciting moment for the brand.

As the Curve collection was unveiled, the response exceeded my expectations. We received phenomenal feedback from customers, who loved our Eudokia or Mythodea dresses and were complimented on their Cypreea or Dioclea tops. Being a small brand that ethically handcrafts each piece at our LA atelier, the overwhelming demand proved challenging to keep up with. However, the positive feedback and support from customers fueled our commitment to expand Curve further.

We aspire to grow the collection, introducing more styles that reach a broader audience of women. Our goal is to provide an aspirational product that women will cherish for years to come. We deeply appreciate the continued support and recommendations from our customers, and we promise to keep working tirelessly to bring them new and exciting designs that will spark their imagination.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Together, let's continue the journey of size inclusivity in fashion.
