Curvaceous K (CLOSED)

Lifelong New Yorker Kathy Sanchez ditched her desk job in marketing to bring NYC something it was missing—a full-figure fashion boutique, catering to a considerably underserved market of plus-size women (sizes 14–24). She searched high and low for the best, most affordable curvy-girl threads ($28–$250), including flattering Taylor lace cocktail dresses ($163), Mynt faux-leather blazers ($148) and Full Figured Fashionista animal-print blouses ($70). Check the website for information on monthly girls’-night events in collaboration with meet-up groups, such as Curvy Girls in the City.
