Yesterday I mentioned on Twitter that I had added a few stores to my List of Plus Size Stores online and wanted to know if anyone had a favorite to add. Right away, @redressnyc replied and said I should add their store Re/Dress NYC. I headed on over to the site and started looking around. Unfortunately I didn’t see where I could buy online (which is a main factor for my list), but they quickly let me know that they’d soon be selling on Etsy. Since they weren’t really set up online yet, I went about my business and starred their tweet so I’d come back to it later.
Since the store is in NYC, and I probably won’t get a chance to check it out until I’m there for a conference in October, I really didn’t spend too much time looking at the site. It seems like an awesome place for plus size women who want great fashion to shop though! Anyway… this evening I was searching Google News for stories about plus size fashion and the same store showed up again! This time it was an article from NYdailynews.com covering the model search that Re/Dress NYC is holding right now. This made me take a double look. So I went back to the site and dug a little deeper.
As they mention in both the article and their own website, the model search is for women who are size 18+. Yes! That’s right, 18+! How exciting is that? We can barely find stylish clothes in those sizes, let alone have a chance to be the spokes model for a company. This seems like a really awesome opportunity for both Re/Dress NYC and the lucky winner. I may even enter it myself!
I wanted to give Re/Dress a shout out for also being on the ball when it comes to Twitter. It’s important to be a part of the community, and Twitter is a great way to achieve this. Thanks Re/Dress NYC for conducting this model search for women who don’t often get opportunities like this, and for having a great little store (which I can’t wait to check out next time I’m in the ‘hood).

SOOO nice to see the Plus Size Model Search (kudos @redressnyc) and look forward to their results. We all know how beautiful women of all varieties can be and I’m looking forward to them showing off!
Btw—totally agree on the twitter comment. Not sure I could live without it anymore!
Keep up the great posts, CurvyLady!!!
