Meet Alma – Size 1X

She’ll have a Cocktail Dress on the Rocks

Kiyonna is known for carrying a variety of plus size dresses and separates for multiple occasions. Alma, one of our regulars, glamorously rocks one of our most loved plus size cocktail dresses in a 1x. Take an inside look as she talks about how she feels in the Bianca Ruched Dress and embraces her curves every day.

Why do you love your curves?

As a Latina, I am naturally curvy. I love my curves, especially, because I got them from my mama…haha! I have to thank her for that. Finding clothes can sometimes be a challenge because I am tall and carry my weight in the mid-section, but it is so important to find the right fitting clothes to embrace each curve.

Who is your fashion icon?

My style icon is JLo. From the red carpet to a simple cocktail dress, her fashion taste never stops. Not only do I love her style, but she has real curves. Looking up to someone who is close to my age range gives me such inspiration and motivation to have confidence in my wardrobe no matter what age I am.

How would you describe your own personal style?

I describe my style as casual and classy with a splash of glam. I love a good pair of skinny jeans with a trendy blouse. Then, I add some high-heeled pumps with a matching handbag to glam it up.

Why the Bianca Ruched Dress?

When I shop at Kiyonna, I usually shop for everyday wear. This time, I was actually looking for a plus size cocktail dress in a 1x to wear for date night with my husband. The Bianca Ruched Dress was the perfect dress. It was so unique that I got a ton of compliments from all of the ladies on the dance floor.

It gets personal with Bianca and Alma. Watch the rest of her interview here:
