There’s nothing like having a friend group that looks like you! That’s why most of my friends are fluffy, brown-skinned divas. Why? Because I quickly learned that no one would understand me better than people who look like me. But what happens when one of the friends who look like you shames you for your size? Unfortunately, sizeism within the plus-size space is real.
Did you see our Facebook live last week? If you did then you’ve been introduced to Part & Parcel. You got a little peek inside of a new business that is not only selling plus size clothing AND SHOES (gasp) but building a plus to plus community. You saw some great dresses, a versatile blazer and some totally cute wide-width shoes and you heard from Lauren, Founder of Part & Parcel, telling us what they’re all about and what to expect from them.
If you didn’t catch the live video, then let us give you the scoop! Part & Parcel is more than just a new plus size collection on the scene, it is a whole new business model of plus size women supporting each other through community, clothing and building business together. Let’s take a look!

You Plus Size Fashion Essentials, Elevated
If you know me, you know that I’m a shopper so I’m all about the cute clothing, and Part & Parcel is giving us more than a few options to play in. Through innovation and attention to detail, Part & Parcel bring us elevated essentials, with a special focus on what we plus size women have struggled to find in the past. Think the perfect blazer, the classic wrap dress, and the great pair of go to ballet flats that take our shape, size, and style in mind.
Most interestingly, Part & Parcel carries sizes 0X to 6X (36) and get this, they introduce to us, “Dimensional Sizing.” Through this innovative process, they address such common sizing issues including arm room in blazers and jackets, the gaping between buttons on shirts, not enough waist room, and even those blessed with large calves in boots!

Through the use of Dimensional Sizing, we get items that consider us, with the design. You can order items with bicep plus, bust plus, and wide calf boot sizes- starting at a 20″ circumference!
I had the opportunity to try on the sleeveless wrap dress on and, OMG, am I in love! It comes in black and is SO versatile!

So, all of these are Part & Parcel pieces! The pants, the shell, the tab-sleeve blazer AND the cute WIDE-WIDTH, metallic mules that I simply must have!

Well, because you can buy your own items directly… and do not have to sign up for anything.
But also, earning a percentage of sales you make is an affiliate and what many websites do with various brands and companies. They just have a higher percentage.
How is this not an MLM?
