Customer Input

There are several types of plus size bodies. As my sister pointed out, not all plus size ladies like dresses. "There are plus size pretty and there are fatties", she says. So leave a comment with your size and what you would like to see for your size in the clothing industry. 

Always true,

Moving forward

Well, I've graduated from University of Phoenix with a Bachelors of Science in Business Management and an Associates in Fashion Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology. I have been doing the minimal work of charity fashion shows for the past 2 years. The time has come for me to suck it up and move forward. Repairing a bank account and putting money a side. My deadline is February 2015. My goal is a 50 pieces Spring /Fall collection for 2015 & 2016! The idea is to bring high couture fashion shows to San Antonio for plus size ready to wear designs.

Zipkini- New Style Swimsuit

All these years I have worn tankinis because I have always hated taking off my whole swimsuit to go to the potty. Not anymore! This girl, Fashion Designer, created what I call the "Zipkini." It's a two piece swimsuit that detaches at the center waist with zippers. The first demo of this Zipkini is headed out to my Model, Tatjana Zomer de Wolf in the Netherlands.

Requested Designs

This past winter an old high school friend requested a Selena look alike dress for his bride's dress to do their renewal vows this year. Without seeing the back of the actual dress I believe this dress came out beautifully. This demo dress is made of dyed muslin and rhinestones. Thoughts?

November 2012 CatWalk for Hope

November 9, 2012 was San Antonio's Second Annual Catwalk for Hope that's focused on Breast Cancer awareness but continues with Leukemia and other cancer awareness. This 2012's show turned out great. Some highlights were Designer Kevin Pounds, Designer Isabel Lotti, Designer Steven Christopher, and myself.

I believe I out did myself with this dromper I created. It's shell is a cocktail dress with a skirt that bubbles into the lining of shorts. Unique and fabulous I must say!

Baby Step Celebration

On June 5th, I went out with my Spring Collection in hopes to sign a consignment with two (2) boutiques, Plato's Closet and New York Exchange, here in San Antonio. After being rejected by Plato's Closet, for not being "trending" but being more "high couture" I was discouraged. Then, I walked into New York Exchange's new location on San Pedro, behind the Starbucks, I realized my collection belonged in this store. After talking to Amanda Alacron, the owner, we signed my first consignment! In celebration, I created the following layout for my poster ad.

Baby steps... are small milestone and need to be acknowledged.

Agatha Marie Spring/Summer 2012 now at New York Exchange, San Antonio.

The sizes held at New York Exchange are vanity sizes off the runway, ranging from a vanity 6 to vanity 8. I sell these styles in all sizes, however there is a week waiting period to receive the garments. If the garments are being requested for a custom fit there is an additional charge.
