Oh PUG, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! I didn't think I could possibly love you anymore and then today this graphic appears in my inbox. I've been loving Pinup Girl Clothing for literally years now ever since I first accidentally stumbled upon them when looking for fancy dress costumes. It was when I still lived at home so that must be ten years ago now. The company has evolved so much over the years and the success it now experiences is oh so well deserved. From following head honcho Laura Byrnes and designer Micheline Pitt on social media for some time I've seen the real passion they have for the company and the incredible work they put in to make sure PUG is head and tails above their competitors.
It might seem like I'm waxing lyrical but PUG will always hold a special place in my heart as they are the first place that I found vintage inspired pieces in a size that will fit me that weren't your typical polka dot flared halter dress. The fact that they offered fitted styles in plus sizes blew my mind and I was so thankful that someone was offering sexy, well made, beautiful pieces that would fit my ample curves. This quote from today's email perfectly sums up all that is wonderful about PUG...
"Couture For Every Body - It isn't just our slogan; it's our ethos, belief, and our guiding mantra on how we design and produce our clothing. CEO, Founder, and Supreme Overlord Laura Byrnes began Pinup Girl Clothing in 1997, designing and constructing clothing up to size 5x with the aim to provide all women with the opportunity to wear well-made clothing that fits and flatters no matter what her shape or size. She and Pinup Girl continue to embrace this belief by offering garments from XS-4X and showcasing them on women of every size and ethnicity, because for us, it isn't enough to say that the clothes exist for women. We want to show the world that every woman is indeed gorgeous and should be celebrated!
We are all unique, and we all deserve to find and wear clothing that does more than just cover us. At Pinup Girl, everything we do is done with the intention of making all women feel beautiful and confident in their own skin and the clothing surrounding it. Empowerment comes in many forms, and we are honoured to be a pioneering, body-positive company that has already changed the lives of so many women and consider it a privilege to continue on this path with all of you."
I thought I'd share with you today some of the incredible designs that PUG offer up to a size 4X...
Do you own any PUG pieces? I'd love to see you in them if you do! I have a few PUG dresses in my wardrobe that I've not blogged about before so they'll be coming out for an outfit post or two soon!
