Love Yo Self. You are not your measurements. You are not your dress/pants/bra/shoe size. You are not your weight. There’s no such thing as a small, medium or large Goddess. These numbers and letters only have the power we give them. As a Fashion Designer measurements are incredibly important to allow me to fit my Clients. As a Confidence Stylist measurements help me dress my Clients in a way that suits their body and goals. The arbitrary vanity sizing in womenswear makes measurements all the more important to me but I know that sizing can feel crushing to you. You’re more powerful than any number. Cut the size tags out if they hurt your feelings! CLOTHING IS SUPPOSED TO FIT YOUR BODY. YOUR BODY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO FIT INTO CLOTHING. If you’re sick and tired of feeling like you don’t measure up to ridiculous beauty standards and are ready to chose your passions over the fear of not fitting in drop a comment to get the conversation started! My 6 Week One on One Style Course Fashion Therapy was designed for passionate women dedicated to change and personal growth who struggle with body image, anxiety and dressing decision fatigue. I help them smash through their limiting beliefs to unlock the power of personal style as a communication tool and healing modality. I teach women how to take their own measurements and find clothing that fits! I teach women how to face and embrace themselves so they can get back to the important work they were put here to do. You are not a number.

One reason designers are shocked to learn I'm a 5XL. Sizes are meaningless. https://goo.gl/i8N53Z #realsizematters #knowyourmeasurements

#CustomerQuestion #Question: "Hi, My name is Kyesha. I just found you guys in a search engine. Often sites I find online are from china. 1, the shipping And receiving from China literally take months and months. 2, the sizing is always way off. Way smaller than US. I'm a size 2x(18w) or in shirts/blouses a 1x depended on the material. I like flexible stretchy dresses, skirts (pencil only) and fitted but not skin tight. What size would be my accurate size? I want to be sure before I order. Thanks!" Kyesha Sent from my iPad #Answer - Hi Kyesha,,,,, Wow you've touched upon a few very interesting subjects. I'm not sure why the plus size community do not discuss the "buying" plus size clothes from China issue. It has happened to me in the past so I have first hand experience with seeing something so cute and waiting forever to get it. Then it's not in my size and shipping it back cost more than the item itself. That's one of the reason why we take extra steps measuring each item before posting them for sale. We ship from Georgia so packages are usually delivered within 2-5 business days. When it comes to getting the perfect fit, you MUST know your measurements. Take out your favorite outfit and measure the width across the bust, the waist, then go down to the hip area and measure that as well. Understand that different brands measure their clothing differently. You will be pleasantly surprised if you take these steps. It will also help you venture into different brands and styles you may have never thought of, and don't be afraid to go up a size. Look for garments with "spandex or elastane" material. This material gives you the "stretchy feeling you mentioned you like. We also include material information in each item's description, so you will known. Lastly, you should never worry to much about size, but more about the fit and how great you look and feel in it!
