Please contact us and let the relationship begin!
In 1979, my dreams of Broadway and an apartment in NYC met reality. I found the apartment, with four roommates, and I found off-off-off-off Broadway! I loved it all but, not wanting to be yet another unemployed actress waiting tables, I found myself signing a Plus-size modeling contract in July of 1981 and in 3 months time was fitting coats for JC Penney. So, it began.
Over the years my career has grown to include fitting the best selling plus sized lines in the industry such as; Eileen Fisher, Ellen Tracy, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Due per Due, HSN and many more. I have had the pleasure of working with such designers as Charles Nolan, Carmen Marc Valvo, Linda Allard, Andrea Jovine, Scassi, Christopher Fischer and Tad B. I have consulted on the opening of many new companies, both large and small and understand the sweat and nurturing involved in developing new businesses in today’s economy and global reach.
I began my career at Plus Models where I did production fit, print, showroom, runway and commentated fashion shows. I landed two national TV commercials, did numerous lifestyle television shows and was among the first large sized models to appear in Vogue magazine. After 14 years at Plus Models, I moved on to Ford where my career continued.
What I saw lacking in our market was a clear vision of truly servicing both the Client and the Fit Model. That is why I opened the Fitting Room. Superior treatment and understanding your needs is what I have done for the last 25 years! May it continue for another 25! Join us…
Warmly,
