About Sante Grace

I’ve never not wanted to have Sante Grace. I’ve been taller and broader than other girls for as long as I can remember – and I was never ok with it. I went on my first self imposed diet at 10 years old. I can remember working at a plus size store and I had a client in the fitting room. When I walked by the fitting room I could hear her softly crying. I was about to ask her if she was ok when an older sales team member shook her head and grabbed tissue from behind a counter. She stuck her hand behind the dressing room curtain and then walked away. Later the client came out of the fitting room, bought a few things and left. No one discussed her mussed makeup or the sounds we’d heard. My colleague told me I should expect clients to sob every once in a while; they were humiliated that the clothes didn’t fit. I was angry. So many emotions washed over me I didn’t know what to do – except I would be the one to end the crying in the fitting room. Shopping should bring you joy. It should be fun. Creative but never humiliating. So that’s what Sante Grace does. We make clothes that allow plus size women to live the lives they deserve. Our clothes are made from luxury textiles like silk, linen, cashmere... and most importantly we end the crying in the fitting room.Read their story
