Why is it so hard for plus size women to find stylish, well-fitting clothes, that aren’t over the top with pattern and design? Meet my new favorite store!

IGIGI is the premiere brand of contemporary collections designed to fulfill the lifestyle of the beautiful, voluptuous, and confident woman. Named after an ancient goddess embodying vitality, charm, and intelligence, IGIGI strives to provide women of curves with smart, stylish and sophisticated collections that accentuate and celebrate their bodies.

At My Gay Friend, we believe everybody is beautiful just the way they are.

GIGI designs dresses for real women of all shapes and sizes. They employ innovative techniques that create a great fit for the individual shape leading to a visually appeasing appearance. They provide the tools through the ShapeStylist section to educate our customers about their individual body shape and tricks of the trade to dress it for the ultimate flattery. They recommend shopping by your shape to achieve the best fit.

“A woman truly feels beautiful when she recognizes that she is exquisite the way she already is: a wonderful, unique, and exceptional individual.”

IGIGI strives to provide women of curves with smart, stylish and sophisticated collections that accentuate and celebrate their bodies. Their collections reflect the latest trends in fashion.

Is there someone you know that does not see or feel his or her own beauty? A family member? A friend? A colleague? You?

At My Gay Friend, we have a concern. We are concerned that there are people in the world that do not know or feel how beautiful they are. We are concerned that there are people stuck in the narrow, stifling stereotypical view of beauty. We are concerned that even though someone sees themselves as beautiful it can be taken away so easily with a wrinkle or a few “extra pounds”.

Because of this we are committed to breaking down the barriers that inhibit people from realizing their own beauty and to be a catalyst for this in the world. We aim to transform the way beauty is defined. The way beauty is seen. The way beauty is felt.

Everybody is beautiful just the way they are.

What would the world look like if that statement were true?
