Evie Foster is not only creating fabulous clothing, but also working hard at smashing the stigma attached to the words PLUS SIZE. Evie says of plus size women - "We are fat, not blind and we want fashion that fits, is comfortable, has a bit of sexy about it, and makes us feel like a goddess when we are wearing it".

THE FORMAL SOURCE

by Ta'Nashea McLoed & Farrah Estrella

Attention!! Curvy Divas, it’s that time of the year. Most of us are receiving invites to weddings, proms, graduations, evening & fashion events. If you are anything like me it comes down to the age old question of what to wear and where to find it? The formal Source is a great solution to this question. Their gowns are available in sizes 14-32 for those of us that are more voluptuous.

The Ladies of the Formal Source have adopted the belief that

“The Beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, The Figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from within her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul. It is in the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!”
