Recent studies indicate that almost 2/3 of North Americans wear a size 14 or more and that plus-size consumers represent approximately 30% of consumer purchasing power.

"Plus-size fashions have been a top requested category from our customers for quite some time. Providing plus-size customers with an equally broad assortment of goods tailored to a variety of shapes and sizes - in a dedicated shopping destination - was a priority for us," says Yona Shtern, CEO of Beyond the Rack. "Listening to and acting upon feedback from our members has always been integral to our success and continued growth."

My Curvy Closet will be accessible to all new and existing members of Beyond the Rack. Membership in the club is always free.

To kick-off this new destination, My Curvy Closet has invited top plus-size fashion experts Marie Denee and America's Next Top Model's first plus-size winner, Whitney Thompson to select their favorite looks for the month of October, while sharing their exclusive style recommendations to suit every curvy fashionista.
