I’ve been obsessed with fashion for as long as I can remember. But when I went looking for event inspo on Instagram and TikTok, I kept running into the same thing: nearly everything was styled on women under a size 8. Where was everyone else?

I know this from the inside. I’ve been a size 2 and I’ve been a size 20, and I’ve stood in front of the mirror at both. What I learned is that every body is beautiful, and the right dress isn’t about shrinking or hiding. It’s about finding the cut, color, and fit that make you feel incredible.

That’s why I started It’s Carated. Whether you’re headed to a wedding, a gala, or any moment that matters, my job is to curate dresses that flatter your body and get you excited to walk in. No overwhelm, no guessing, just a dress that feels like you.
