My Story
Hi, I'm Annalisa. Nice to meet you officially!
Let's start from the very beginning. As a hairstylist during COVID I wasn't able to work due to the whole 6 Feet apart rule. So I had a lot of extra time on my hands thus Curvy Chic Shop was born out of my own closet. I first started selling on Marketplace and it was huge hit, shortly after I started up my Instagram page and the demand started to grow and I was running out clothes fast. So I started thrifting, but as you know the XL plus sections at thrift stores are itty bitty and second hand plus size clothing are hard to come by as is. My friends asked me to sell clothing for them and then that sparked the idea of taking consignment! Now as the 3rd year starts I have evolved into buying clothing right out for whole cost.

So here I am 3 years later still chugging along doing the best I can to keep the dream alive.
My Mission Statement:
Shopping as a full-figured woman is very hard and can be mentally draining. It is difficult to find clothing that is fashionable at an affordable price point. It's discouraging walking into the mall and having very limited options.
I am a hairstylist by trade, so beauty and fashion has always been a big part of my life. I want every curvy queen to be able to feel beautiful in their own skin.
Everything for "Girl's Night Out," "Business Casual," to feeling sexy in the bedroom, We have something for everyone. Our garments are organized by measurement so you can find your perfect fit. For example, 0 = Large/XL 1 = 1x 2=2x and so on. Seeing many X'S on a tag can make one feel uncomfortable. We want to make shopping a fabulous experience!
My business is part of the green movement as it gives new ownership to old treasures. Quality clothing is important because it lasts longer and can be used for a lifetime if taken care of properly! Fast fashion is one of the largest polluters in the world. Reselling garments keeps them from filling landfills.
