STYLE: TAKING SHAPE
“OUR SOLE GOAL IS TO FIND YOU AN OUTFIT THAT YOU FEEL GREAT IN.”
WORDS Lauren De Cesare PHOTOS Mogg Visuals My DMs were flooded with women who hated their bodies. So, I decided to do something about it and celebrate all shapes and sizes instead!

ecently, someone messaged to compliment me on a skirt I was wearing. It made my day because sometimes, just like all of us, I can be critical of my body. After sharing this conversation on my Instagram page, hundreds of messages came flying in from women just like me — all saying that they hated their arms, legs, tummies, or they hadn’t been to the beach in years because they were uncomfortable with their body. It made me really sad because looking at these women’s photos, I thought they were all beautiful! So, I called in the big guns at Taking Shape to help make a few women feel better about themselves. I love everything that Taking Shape stands for and knew they’d be the perfect team to help me. “Our aim is to be the leading style alternative for curvy women seeking quality
fashion with a difference. When you’ve got curves, you don’t want to be stuck with kaftans or baggy t-shirts — sometimes you want to rock what your mama gave you and wear a beautiful dress that makes you feel wildly confident!” says Jo Newman, General Manager Retail Operations. With 35 years’ experience, Taking Shape provides exceptional customer service across fifteen stores, offers unique fashion pieces for women with curves, and their customers are at the heart of everything they do! “Our sole goal is to find you an outfit that you feel great in.
