The website, thought to be the first of its kind, gives women a chance to give their plus-size occasionwear a new home and a second lease of life, once that special occasion has passed. With new and nearly-new items available, DressXS.com helps discerning plus-size ladies to find that perfect outfit for a wedding, ball or party.
DressXS is the brainchild of Luton businesswoman Natalie Feerick, who describes herself as a curvy lady. She explained, ?Five years ago when my sister got married, I spent months searching for an outfit to wear and ended up only getting something I liked the weekend before the wedding. It occurred to me then that I couldn?t possibly be the only plus-size woman with this predicament ? and so the idea was born!?.
Natalie has spent the last five years researching and developing her idea and says now, more than ever before, the market needs a service such as this: ?The plus-size market is, quite literally, growing by the day and even the high street stores have finally started to realise this. Hiring special occasion outfits and gowns is very difficult and restrictive, so most women are resigned to buying new at huge expense. To then only wear that item once is heartbreaking and in this economy the option of selling an item on after you have worn it once or twice is very appealing.?
She added, ?You might be happy to sell a pair of jeans or a jumper on eBay for a fiver, but for your special occasion items only DressXS can showcase your garments to a targetted audience of people like you, and that?s what makes us different.?
You can buy and sell plus-size occasionwear and accessories at www.dressxs.com
