As a curvy fashionista who is all about her chic, I can tell you that it is hard as hell to maintain. I know that many of you feel me, especially my extended plus size girls (22+). Aside from having brands that โsay (insert side eye)โ they cater to plus but only go up to a 20 or 22. I know that many of you run into another roadblock that I do too; finding clothing with the proper fit.
Ugh! It drives me crazy, to finding something cute in my size only to have it fit as if it were two sizes too small. So many times, I have stood in a dressing room or my bedroom thinking WTHโฆ because clearly, the item was far from what I needed. I told you before, I have no issue with size; I will wear what fits. However, it is a headache when what should fit doesnโt at all.ย Due to my sizing and fit issues, there are some retailers I just donโt shopโฆ Period!
I would rather take my money and invest in my wardrobe in a way that is guaranteed to have my โCHIC ON FLEEK.โ That guaranteed investment, is shopping with indie designers.ย Yes! Connect with the right indie designer or seamstress and you can take your chic to a whole different level. Clothing that is custom made for you, and not massed produced based on what is considered the portions of your size; how can you go wrong? You canโt!
Today, I want to prove to you that you canโt go wrong with indie designers. I am sharing some of my own personal looks created by indie designers and seamstress to show you exactly what I mean.
5 Indie Plus Size Designers That Keep My Chic Poppin
1. Jibri
They say Red Bull gives you wings but after purchasing my first dress from Jibri this year, I am convinced that Jibri gives you wind or a Beyonce fan.
2. The Wendy S. Collection
How could I not say yes to Wendy S.? This metallic retro chic skirt with a high slit gave me a life I didnโt know I had.ย 
3. Lavenderโs Jungle
I have attempted to wear several pencil skirts but Lavenderโs Jungle high waist pencil skirt is the only one I have been able to successfully pull off.ย

4. GโWan by Charon
Gโwan Girl! Who said fat girls canโt rock floral prints? LIE! Gโwan by Charon did her thing and had my looking โfabooโ with this sheer maxi dress.
5. Diva by Tameka
I can not tell you how many times, I have tried and failed in my efforts to find the right shorts. Thanks to Diva By Tameka, I am finally able to wear them.ย
