Fashion Fiesta: Curvy Closets

  • We are a month removed from the greatness that was Curvy Closets Plus Size Fashion Showcase, and I am still trying to catch my breath.  This “labor of love” was brought together by my dear friend, Colleen Stovall of short, Curvy, FEIRCE and myself, in an effort to bring quality plus size fashion to the city of Philadelphia.  Doesn’t Philly deserve great fashion?  With 65% of the women in Philly being at least a size 14, we thought so too!  Not only was this a great opportunity to have a fashion fiesta with some of the fashion elitist in the curvy community, but also, tons of formal dresses were donated to Fairy Godmothers Inc., an organization that donates new and gently used formal dresses to young lady that may not otherwise be able to afford them.  From the terrific entertainment, to our fabulous hostess, to the array of eclectic vendors and wonderful fashion…oh and let’s not forget the breathtaking ambiance…it was nothing short of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I could not have dreamed of a better evening, surrounded by a supportive cast of friends and family, both from near and far.   Thank you EVERYONE for your kind words and positive thoughts throughout the process!  You are appreciated!
