The Curvy Fashionista Disclaimer

Hey there! So glad you’re here.

If you’ve ever wondered, “How does The Curvy Fashionista stay free?” or “How do you make money?”—you’re not alone. We believe in keeping it real with our readers, so this page is all about pulling back the curtain.

Why TCF Is Free

We created The Curvy Fashionista because we believe plus size women deserve more—more access, more style, more representation, and more confidence. That means no paywalls, no gatekeeping—just real, valuable content that celebrates and serves our community every day.

From fashion roundups and body-positive stories to shopping tips and trend analysis, we publish it all freely to empower you.

But running TCF takes real investment. From tech and hosting to the amazing team of writers, editors, contributors, and creatives behind the scenes—it’s a full operation.

We fund The Curvy Fashionista through a few thoughtful, intentional revenue streams—all designed to align with our values and serve our community:

Affiliate Links

When you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. These links help us keep our content free and our recommendations honest. We only share what we truly believe in, no performative hype.

Brand Partnerships

We collaborate with brands through sponsored content, campaigns, and curated experiences that reflect the needs and interests of our community. Every partnership is vetted for alignment, value, and vibe.

Events

From in-person panels to digital summits, TCFStyle events connect our readers with industry voices, changemakers, and each other. These are sometimes ticketed or supported by sponsors who share our mission of size inclusivity and style-forward storytelling.

Display Ads

You may see a few ads on the site—that’s another way we offset costs and keep things running. We work with ad partners to ensure that what shows up feels relevant and respectful of your experience.

Your support—whether you’re reading, sharing, shopping through our links, or showing up to our events—helps keep TCF going strong. It fuels our mission and allows us to remain a trusted leader in plus size fashion and lifestyle media.

We’re not just building a brand—we’re moving a culture. And we’re so glad you’re part of it.

Does This Cost You More?

Nope! In fact, our affiliate links often include special deals or discounts you won’t find elsewhere. You still get the same price (or better), and we get to continue doing what we love—serving you.

Do We See Your Info?

No, we don’t see any personal details like your name, email, or payment info. We only see anonymous data that tells us a purchase was made through one of our links.

Want to Support TCF?

Here’s how you can show love and help us grow:

  • Shop through our affiliate links when something catches your eye
  • Share our articles, guides, and features on social media
  • Leave a comment or review when something resonates with you
  • Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us across platforms

Your support helps us push boundaries, shift the industry, and keep building a space that centers you.

Why It Matters

We know the internet’s full of flashy reviews and paid plugs—but that’s not our vibe. TCF is built on trust, transparency, and community. We started this because we needed a space like this. And now we get to share it with thousands of you.

So thank you for being here, supporting us, and helping shape a more stylish, inclusive world—one click (and curve) at a time.

With gratitude,


Marie Denee
