Did you Know that Yuliya Raquel is Back at Igigi?! The Return of a Plus Size Fashion Pioneer

For those of us who have spent years searching for the perfect plus size occasion dress—one that fits beautifully, flatters our curves, and exudes elegance—this is the kind of fashion comeback dreams are made of and news we did not know that we have been looking for! Get ready to celebrate because Yuliya Raquel, the visionary designer who founded Igigi, is officially back at the helm of the beloved San Francisco-based brand.

After years away, she’s returning with a renewed passion, cutting-edge innovations, and a deep commitment to bringing Igigi back to its roots. With a fresh approach to plus size evening wear and occasion dresses, Raquel is ensuring that plus size fashion lovers have the show-stopping styles they deserve—crafted with impeccable fit, customization, and modern sophistication, up through a size 6X or a 36!

A Fashion Comeback Worth Celebrating

Igigi has long been a go-to destination for plus size women in search of elegant, high-quality dresses for weddings, galas, and special occasions. However, after Yuliya Raquel stepped away from the brand years ago, many fans were left wondering if Igigi would ever return to its former glory.

In the interim, Raquel had launched her own made-to-order brand, honing her skills in customization and technology-driven fashion with the help of CoutureMe.com. Now, she’s back—and she’s redefining what the brand stands for with a fresh, innovative approach to fit, customization, and sustainability.

What’s New w/ the Brand?

Yuliya Raquel’s return means that Igigi is embracing cutting-edge fashion technology while staying true to its signature commitment to size inclusivity and impeccable craftsmanship. The brand’s revamped process focuses on:

• Customization at its Core: Customers can now personalize their dresses to better suit their style, body shape, and height. Whether it’s selecting sleeve lengths, adjusting hemlines, or choosing fabrics, they are making sure every dress is uniquely tailored to its wearer.
• Ethical, Made-to-Order Production: No more mass production or wasteful practices—each dress is made by skilled artisans, ensuring superior quality and plus size sustainability.
• A Perfect Fit for All Heights and Sizes: With patterns refined over 17 years, the brand is dedicated to offering a fit that flatters various plus size body shapes. Dresses are available in sizes up to 6X and five different height options (Very Petite, Petite, Regular, Tall, and Very Tall)! Yes, plus size petite and plus size tall options!

Why This Matters for Plus Size Fashion

Igigi’s revival comes at a crucial time in the plus size fashion industry, where options for high-end, well-fitting occasion wear remain somewhat limited. The return of Yuliya Raquel ensures that plus size women have access to luxurious, fashion-forward dresses that celebrate their bodies rather than compromise on fit or style.

For those looking for an elegant evening gown or the perfect wedding guest dress, Igigi is once again the brand to trust. But beyond just fashion, its return marks a major win for the plus-size industry—proving that demand for quality, stylish, and well-fitting occasion wear is stronger than ever.

By prioritizing ethical production, customization, and a flawless fit, this brand is setting new standards, giving plus size women access to the luxury and personalization they deserve. Investing in a dress from this brand means investing in both timeless style and the future of inclusive fashion.
