Content Submission & Approval Process
Our highly skilled editorial team carefully curates every piece of content published on TheCurvyFashionista.com. Each article goes through multiple phases of our editorial process, including thorough fact-checking and review, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and the highest quality standards.
Contributors, whether in-house or guest writers, must submit content ideas or drafts for approval before publication. Each submission goes through an internal review to ensure it aligns with our editorial vision, SEO strategy, and audience interests.
Fact-Checking & Credibility
Accuracy is paramount. Writers must verify all information before submission. Sources should be reputable, such as brand press releases, designer interviews, and industry reports. Any statistics or claims should be backed by credible sources, and links to references should be provided where appropriate.
Every article undergoes multiple layers of editing before publication. This includes checks for grammar, clarity, tone, and alignment with TCF’s brand voice. The editorial team also ensures the content is visually appealing, incorporating high-quality images, embeds, and proper formatting.
Updating & Maintaining Content
To ensure accuracy and relevance, The Curvy Fashionista periodically updates older content. This includes refreshing outdated information, updating internal links, and improving SEO elements as needed.
How The Curvy Fashionista is Funded
Running a leading digital media platform like TheCurvyFashionista.com, which serves thousands of plus size fashion lovers each month, requires a significant investment—both in maintaining a seamless user experience and producing high-quality, engaging content.
Our team works hard to bring you the latest in plus size fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, creating in-depth shopping guides, trend reports, expert interviews, and exclusive industry insights—all available for free.
So yes, we must generate revenue to keep TCF thriving. Below are the two primary ways we fund TheCurvyFashionista.com.
Affiliate Revenue
At TheCurvyFashionista.com, we earn referral commissions when you purchase products from brands we recommend.
Transparency is key. If an article includes affiliate links or sponsored content, it must be clearly disclosed to maintain trust with our readers. Sponsored posts will be labeled accordingly, and editorial integrity will always be upheld.
However, our recommendations are always based on quality, value, and relevance to our plus size audience. We only feature products we genuinely believe in, thoroughly research, and, whenever possible, personally test. All opinions are our own, and we never accept payments in exchange for positive reviews.
This revenue model, known as affiliate marketing, is used by many of the biggest brands and websites. It allows us to continue delivering high-quality, free content while keeping TCF running.

Display Ads
In addition to affiliate partnerships, TCF generates revenue through display advertising. These ads allow us to keep our content free for readers while covering the costs of running a leading digital media platform.
From site maintenance and hosting to paying our talented team of writers, editors, and content creators, ad revenue plays a crucial role in sustaining TCF’s ability to bring you the latest in plus size fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.
We carefully manage the types and placement of ads to ensure they don’t disrupt your reading experience. While ads are a necessary part of keeping TCF thriving, our commitment remains the same—to deliver high-quality, engaging, and empowering content for the plus size community. Your continued support helps us keep TCF growing and evolving!
