Hey plus size babes!
As a blogger/designer/stylist/etc, I do a LOT of online shopping. And, one of my goals in 2018 is to step up my white allyship (Wells Fargo, we’re going to break up).
Below, I’ve shared a list of plus size boutiques and brands that are owned by black folks. I’ll be doing a post later on brands/boutiques owned by people of color, so if you know of a brand, give me a shout on twitter @The_Huntswoman or via my blog.

Because A’Shontay’s team makes everything in the USA, designs can also be customized for each customer — and A’Shontay offers fashion design consulting services, creating high end dresses for proms, weddings, or other special occasion.
