“We’re all looking for a holiday outfit that makes us sparkle and feel fabulous.”

However, if you’re curvy, it may seem impossible to find a chic dress that is comfortable, and compliments your body shape and personality. According to U.S. Census Bureau 62% of the female population wears size 12 + and only 10% of fashion retailers market to the curvaceous woman.

With the recent media headlines that touch base on Size-ism, it’s obvious that curvy is being brought into the fashion forefront: The Glamour Magazine plus size model picture, Karl Lagerfeld’s comments on fat women hating skinny models, Ralph Lauren’s ad portraying a model with super skinny proportions and now the Quebec Charter on model health & diversity.

Lola & Gigi, a Toronto based fashion showroom and weboutique knows that every girl curvy or not, needs a look that makes them glow. The boutique brings quality, stylish clothing to women size 12 – 24 and expert style advice, providing the support women need to love their curves and feel fabulous again!

Expert on Size-ism, stylist and founder of Lola & Gigi, Laura Caravaggio saw a real lack of style options for curvy women. Personally frustrated with the fashions available for sizes 12 +, Laura launched Lola & Gigi and since 2007, she continues to bring fabulous fashions to curvaceous women in need of a look that you won’t find in the mall.

Lola & Gigi carries quality fashions from top designers across North America, including:
Rachel Pally’s laid-back California chic and Melissa Masse’s lady-like dresses with a twist, to Anna Scholz’s luxe fabrics & bold prints, and JS Boutique’s flirty cocktail dresses, Lola & Gigi abounds in infinite and wonderful wardrobe possibilities.  We’ve even got cult denim brands David Kahn Jeanswear, Svoboda and Tummy Tuck Jeans™.
