When we go to watch a movie at the cinema, we rarely stop and think about all that took place behind the scenes to make the movie possible; the same often happens when we are out and about shopping for clothes, we seldom think about the person who actually created the clothes we buy.
Perhaps, some might not think it very useful to know the background of the people designing the clothes we wear, however I find it interesting and intriguing to get to know more and dig a little deep into the fabric. Just like getting to know what inspires a writer to put thoughts and ideas into words, it is fascinating to me to find out the passions and inspirations of those who design and create the beautiful clothes we wear.
That is why I am today taking a closer look at three unique and intriguing plus size fashion designers, in a bid to bring you a little step closer to those designing the awesome plus size fashions we have available on the market nowadays. Knowing 'where your clothes come from', like a piece of art, will make you cherish them more.
Yuliya Zeltser of IGIGI
A fashion designer born and raised in Ukraine, Yuliya felt the need to provide full figured women with beautiful clothing, when she saw how hard it was for her own mother to find clothes in her size that made her feel like a gorgeous and chic woman. Through IGIGI Yuliya is now able to provide plus size women with clothes which not only make them feel beautiful, but which also accentuate their figure. Yuliya designed from the heart and is also sometimes inspired from her travels around the world and the United States.
Monif of Monif C. Plus Sizes
A very artistic person at heart, Monif C. saw the need plus size women had for stylish and sexy clothing, and embarked on a mission to satisfy this need, and dare we say, Monif is doing a pretty good job at it! Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Monif is inspired by life and her dreams. Her aim is to provide curvy women with colorful plus size fashion which makes them feel stylish, inspired, luxurious and sexy.
Anna Nicole of Jahqoi
Anna Nicole is a rising star in the pus size fashion scene. Coming from Detroit, Michigan, but currently residing in California, Anna began sewing clothes at the tender age of 12. In June 2004 Anna launched ANR apparel as an online retail store, to give curvy women more choices of plus size clothing. She has recently moved the retail site over the newly renamed Jahqoi site. Jahqoi when spelled correctly means: 'I believe' in French. Anna's passion is contemporary, modern, sassy styles.
It is interesting, getting to know a little more about plus size fashion designers and the inspirations behind the clothes we wear. There is a lot more than fabric to a dress, more which can turn a beautiful dress into a meaningful work of art.

Many teenagers and young adults dream of someday becoming famous fashion designers. Maybe that was dream that you once had and for one reason or another decided to follow another career path. If you have always had that dream and find yourself interested in starting your own business, you should consider designing custom made costumes.
Right about now you may be thinking that you wanted to design trendy fashion clothing; however, there is actually really good money in costume design. Think about costumes that you come across in the store during Halloween, they are not priced cheap. What about after Halloween? Most retail stores put up the costumes until next season. Many people assume that costumes are only for Halloween. In reality costumes are needed for parades, musicals, plays, dances, and many other special events. Many schools look towards local designers to make costumes for musicals or plays.
If you decide to peruse your own costume making business, the majority of your time will be spent working out of your home. If you are planning on making your costumes for a specific size, you made need to travel to another location for fittings. If you are unable to travel, you may wish to set up a fitting room area in your home or place of business. If you have an interest in design, then you probably have most of the needed essentials to start a business. In addition to the sewing materials, you should think about getting a business phone line with an answering machine. A computer is another important tool. A computer can help you keep track of your clients and their needs. There are also many different design programs that can help you produce costumes and the internet is full of resources.
To get your business off the ground, you will need to find clients. Your best target market will be theatre groups. You can specifically visit them or send them a brochure or business card that you have made. It may be a good idea to have a couple of samples, actual costumes or pictures, to show potential clients. There is a woman in my town who has her own custom business, this summer she dressed herself and other community members in costumes that she made. There was a parade and everyone marched and handed out fliers advertising her business. In addition to parades, you can target other community events. You may also want to hang business flyers on local community bulletin boards and advertise your business in local papers.
Once your business gets up and running, you should consider making a company web page. Although many costume makers prefer working with local clients, there are some who take orders from across the country. Having a company website will allow people to view your work and place orders. The downside to this is that you will have to have someone else take measurements for you and you should ensure that this person correctly knows how to do so.
One of the first things that people like to know before they start a business is how much money they can be expected to make. With a costume business this actually depends on how much time and energy you plan on committing to this project. Most costume designers charge based on the type of costume being made. You will need to take into consideration how much materials will cost and your labor. There are some costume designers who will sell costumes for as low as fifty dollars; however, some costumes can sell for more than two thousand dollars.
As with any business, there will generally be a period where business will slow down for a period of time. If your business has locally slowed down, this would be a good opportunity to focus on obtaining new clients through your web page. If your business has become a success you may want to expand it into costume rentals. During your downtime, you could make general costumes for children or adults. There are some people or groups who will not be interested in purchasing a costume if it will only be used once. A few costumes that might make good rentals could be Mrs. Claus, Santa, or the Easter Bunny.
To have a successful costume design business, you will need to have a flair for design and be able to sew. You will also need to have an outgoing personality, this will help you when approaching new clients. Many larger and successful costume businesses are located near large cities; however, many costume designers who know how to obtain clients can easily bring in around $50,000 a year. Although designing costumes may not exactly be what you had in mind, this experience could also help you on your way to a career in other fashions.
