Ladies, theydies, beauties, and curve connoisseurs, gather round because we need to talk about something BIG. And I’m not just talking about our fabulous wardrobes or our unmatched confidence. I’m talking about the first-ever State of Plus Size Fashion Survey — a historic collaboration between The Curvy Fashionista and Plus Model Magazine. That’s right, the two powerhouses of plus size media are teaming up to make some GOOD TROUBLE, and we need YOUR voice to make it count.
Here’s the real: Brands, designers, and retailers have been missing the mark. Sure, we’ve seen a few strides here and there, but let’s be honest—the plus size fashion industry still has a LOT of work to do. From inconsistent sizing to lackluster representation (hello, where’s the diversity?), it’s time to bridge the gap between what we want and what they’re giving us. And guess what? YOU hold the key to making that happen.
What’s This State of Plus Size Fashion Survey About?
It’s simple: we’re asking YOU, the fabulous plus size community, to spill the beans. Tell us what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing from the plus size fashion world. From your shopping habits to how you feel about representation, this survey covers it all.
But here’s the kicker: This isn’t just a survey. It’s a movement. It’s about creating a roadmap for the future of plus size fashion, straight from the people who know it best: YOU. Because who knows our needs better than the ones living this life every single day? Spoiler alert: nobody.
“Joining forces with Marie Denee and The Curvy Fashionista feels like a full-circle moment. As two women of color who’ve dedicated our careers to advocating for inclusivity and equity in the plus size fashion industry, this collaboration is about so much more than just a project—it’s a movement. Together, we’re celebrating the power of our community and pushing for real change in how the plus size consumer is seen, heard, and served. This partnership is about rewriting the narrative, and I couldn’t be more honored to stand with Marie in sparking this transformation.”
Madeline Jones, Plus Model Magazine Editor in Chief
Why Your Voice Matters
For too long, brands have operated with blinders on, thinking they’re “doing enough” for us. (Newsflash: They’re not.) They don’t have the data. They don’t have the insights. And honey, they certainly don’t have the range. That’s where YOU come in. By participating in this State of Plus Size Fashion Survey, you’re not just sharing your opinions—you’re giving the industry a wake-up call it desperately needs.
Imagine this: A world where brands finally get it. Where your favorite stores carry the styles you crave in the sizes you need. Where marketing campaigns actually represent the glorious diversity of our community. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, dreams become reality when we speak up.

Why This Survey Is Different
Let’s be real: this isn’t just another run-of-the-mill survey. This is the first time two of the biggest voices in plus size media are teaming up to make HISTORY. And when we say history, we mean it. The results of this State of Plus Size Fashion Survey will culminate in the first-ever State of Plus Size Fashion Report, set to drop at the top of 2025.
And we’re not stopping there. This report will be paired with expert commentary from not only myself and Plus Model Mag EIC, Madeline Jones, but also plus size marketing and fashion industry pros who are just as passionate as we are about driving change. We’ll be holding a mirror up to the industry and saying, “This is what the community wants. What are you going to do about it?”

What’s In It For You?
Besides the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping to reshape the future of fashion? Oh, just the chance to have your voice amplified on a MAJOR scale. And let’s not forget the bragging rights. Years from now, when plus size fashion has its golden age, you’ll be able to say, “I helped make that happen.” How’s that for a flex?

So, Are You In?
The survey only takes about seven minutes—less time than it takes to scroll through your favorite brand’s disappointing size offerings. And every response matters. Every comment, critique, and idea brings us closer to a world where plus size fashion is everything we deserve and more.
Let’s do this, fam. Let’s show the world that the plus size community is a force to be reckoned with. Let’s make good trouble. Let’s demand better. Together, we’re not just making noise—we’re creating change. Are you ready? Let’s go make history.
Sassy side note: Don’t forget to share this survey with your crew. The more voices, the bigger the impact. Let’s take this all the way to the top, babe!
