IT CHICK CLOTHES ISSUES STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO ANTIOBESITY ACTIVIST MEME ROTH

May 14 2009 – Emily Palit, Partner of It Chick Clothes, LLC, a plus size clothing company for young girls ages 7 to 12, issued the following statement today in response to Meme Roth’s characterization of plus size clothing as going down with the Titanic rather than getting on a life boat.

“The presumption that clothing should only be offered in a narrow range of sizes smacks of bias. Humiliation and exclusion have yet to prove helpful in losing weight. There is no evidence to suggest that plus size clothing encourages weight gain, but numerous studies have shown the effects of ridicule on the psyche.

Declaring a ‘war on obesity’ or launching ‘antiobesity activisim’ disregards the human lives behind headlines and statistics.

Plus size clothing vendors recognize that bodies come in a range of shapes and sizes and celebrate that individuality with a variety of clothes. These vendors believe that the joy of style should not be limited to a few, but rather open to all women and girls on the spectrum of size.”

IT CHICK CLOTHES BUCKS THE RECESSION WITH A SORBET-INSPIRED SPRING LINE FOR ITS AFFORDABLE PLUS SIZE GIRLS CLOTHING COLLECTION

February 25, 2009 – The news may be doom and gloom this spring, but you would not guess it inside the It Chick Clothes showroom. The popular plus size girls clothing company is glowing with great sales and a bright new spring line inspired by sorbets.

“Planning our new collection was easy,” explains co-founder and owner Catherine Beebe. “We just thought of what young girls like, and what’s more fun than ice cream and sorbet?”  Fun is the right description for the bright new colors and whimsical designs available at http://www.itchickclothes.com. The plus size clothing company has expanded its popular Cha-Cha skirt and Open Neck Stretch Top with sorbet colors such as lavender, melon and lime green. They’ve also added a new item, the Gathered Top, which is available in the spring sorbets and cocoa brown and espresso black. Similar options are available for their Retro Skate Tee: lilacs, soft pinks and warm greens.

The plus size retailer has been enjoying international sales growth as well as sales at home in the United States. “We hate to use the term ‘recession-proof,’” explains Beebe’s partner, Emily Palit. “But we have been rewarded by our dedicated customers. We’re committed to maintaining the affordability of our line. We believe that great fashion should be available in all sizes at a reasonable price. The fun of great clothes is being able to buy them!”  While they may avoid the term, It Chick Clothes certainly seems to be beating the recession. Sales are booming at the online retailer, and happy customers keep asking for more.

Those customers will get their wish this spring, with enough colors to satisfy any customer’s spring fever. And the It Chick Clothes owners promise more plus size fashions this summer, with more of their popular plus size, age appropriate babydolls and tops.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IT CHICK CLOTHES INTRODUCES PLUS SIZE COSTUMES FOR YOUNG GIRLS THAT TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF HALLOWEEN           

October 6, 2008 – Halloween is all about fun for children, but it’s frightening how few options there are for girls who need a larger size costume.  Most plus-size costumes available are for older girls and women, and they are far too mature for pre-teen or tween girls. It Chick Clothes has put a stop to that trend with adorable, age appropriate plus-size Halloween costumes for tween girls.  

Halloween has become about more than just eating candy. It’s about being someone else for a night, taking on a new identity and trying out a new personality. “Tween girls are demanding more in their costumes,” says owner Emily Palit. “It’s not enough to just put a sheet over your head and walk out the door. Pre-teens want to look great on Halloween night, and our plus-size customers are no different.”

Young girls can now take on the identity of a pop star diva or a girl wizard, both available at www.itchickclothes.com.  Both the pop star diva and girl wizard costumes come complete with all accessories, including wig, microphone, wand, and tie. These complete packages mean that Halloween costume purchases can be finished with one purchase at www.itchickclothes.com.

PLUS SIZE SUMMER FASHIONS FOR YOUNG GIRLS SHOWCASED ON GREAT DAY HOUSTON

June 12, 2008 – Debra Duncan is no stranger to morning news, and she’s covering hot topics in Houston. In her second day on the job as Host of Great Day Houston, she dove right into a topic that’s close to her heart: growing up as a “chubby girl.” Thankfully the clothing choices have improved in the years since she had to wear “the yellow frog on the back that said ‘Whahh, Whahh, chubby section.’” In an interview with plus size apparel retailers Torrid and It Chick Clothes, she covered clothes that celebrate curvy girls.

Debra pointed out that clothes that used to be reserved for thin girls are now available in colors and styles that fit and flatter bigger girls. Plus size no longer means dowdy and frumpy, and the models on stage shone in trendy styles. A Torrid sundress in hot pink and black dresses up summer with a bang, and the It Chick cha-cha skirt is perfect for young plus size girls, as it has sewn-in shorts.

Debra Duncan showed a picture of herself as a young girl and discussed topics such as childhood obesity, organic eating, and fashion options for plus sizes. She opened up about her feeling left out in department stores as her older sister was able to wear the cute clothes, and she was relegated to the frumpier options in the “chubby section.”
She brought It Chick Clothes and Torrid on to demonstrate how the fashion industry has changed. Larger girls no longer have to be resigned to looking like they don’t fit in.

The It Chick models wore gaucho pants, scooters and stretch tops. They talked about not being able to shop comfortably in department stores and the relief they feel at wearing clothes that fit their figures. It Chick owner Emily Palit discussed the importance of fit for young plus size girls. “A larger piece may fit in the waist, but be too long in the legs and arms,” she explained. Young girls do not need “older women’s clothes tailored down, in the wrong colors, wrong styles.”

The Torrid model wore a sundress and talked about what a relief it was to find Torrid in her local mall. Torrid spokesperson Elle discussed the importance of celebrating girls as they are, as well as celebrating confidence.

IT CHICK CLOTHES MAKES HOLIDAY SHOPPING EASY FOR PARENTS OF PLUS SIZE GIRLS

Nov 20, 2007 – The approach of Thanksgiving brings the age old question: What to wear to those holiday dinners and parties? That question is a struggle for any girl, but especially for girls who don’t fall into “standard” size categories. Hanukah and Christmas are stressful enough without trying on multiple outfits for the perfect combination of comfort and style. It Chick Clothes has plus size gaucho pants and dressy tops for a flowing, stylish look. The slightly fitted Ribbon Top or Open Neck Stretch Top balance the loose styling of the gaucho pants for an adorable, age appropriate outfit. Going to a slightly more casual affair? The Distressed Denim Mini, paired with Lace Trimmed Leggings adds some spunk to any occasion. Throw on a red Lace Trimmed Cami and layer with an Open Neck Stretch Top, and you’ll add style and fun to that Hanukkah or Christmas get-together.

Parents of young plus-size girls often despair of finding the perfect Christmas or Chanukah gift for their daughters. Their shopping experience just got a little brighter at http://www.itchickclothes.com. It Chick Clothes offers a variety of plus size outfits that fit a range of sizes and figures. The best part?

The It Chick Clothes line is dedicated to plus-size tween girls ages 7 to 12. “We looked around and found a significant gap in the clothes market,” says co-founder Emily Palit. “We realized that a very limited number of girls can actually wear the clothes that most retailers offer. Girls try on these clothes and end up leaving the fitting room frustrated.”
“Our mission is to make clothes that make the girls who wear them feel good about themselves,” agrees co-founder Catherine Beebe. “Many plus size clothes are ill-fitting and frankly, dowdy. We make cute clothes that ‘real’ girls can wear.” Fashions like layering tanks, knit tops, and weathered tees can be worn with denim minis, leggings and baby-doll dresses. The trendy clothes look great on today’s fuller figured girls.

DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE PLUS SIZE FRUMPY TRAP! EXPERT ADVICE TO DRESS YOUR BEST

 Oct 01, 2007 – Navigating fashion choices can be bewildering, especially when you’re looking for clothes that flatter all figure types, including plus size. It’s easy to give up and resort to “boy clothes” in a size too big. Don’t do it! You can dress right for your size with just a few smart fashion guidelines.

1. Avoid baggy clothes: Don’t drown yourself in loose fabric. A slightly snugger fit keeps you from looking bigger than you are.

2. Too tight adds weight: Snug, but not too snug. Clothes that are too tight can accentuate bulges you’d rather hide. Go for clothes that hug your figure without clinging too tightly.

3. Longer is leaner: Shorter tops shorten the midriff and make your waist look thicker. Tops that hit at upper hip lengthen your appearance.

4. Choose solid colors: In general, solid colors streamline your look, whereas busy patterns do the opposite. But let your taste be the judge. If you love that flowered skirt, pair it with a solid top.

5. Wear wide waistbands: They fight bulge by holding it in without cinching it in. The result? An accentuated waist without unflattering lines.

6. Go for the A: Even slight A-lines complement more than the tapered or straight line look. This applies to skirts, shirts and pants. So show your flair with a little flare.

7. Accentuate your positives: Every girl’s body is unique and beautiful. Showcase your strong points! For almost everyone, a full skirt enhances the waist and narrows your legs.

8. Wear what you love. Fashion tips are just that. Tips. You know what you like, so wear it! Confidence flatters the most.

IT CHICK CLOTHES MAKES BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING A FUN EXPERIENCE FOR PLUS SIZE GIRLS

Houston, August 1 2007 — A fun pastime can become a nightmare for many girls in America: shopping for back to school clothes. The clothing options for plus size girls are few and far between, despite the fact that these girls command a growing purchase power in America. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) estimates that one in seven girls ages 6 to 11 is overweight. Despite this strong market presence, these girls have far fewer clothing options than their peers. Girls who don’t fall into “standard” size categories often have to buy plus-sized clothes for women and have it tailored to their size. The result? Poorly fitting clothes for the wrong age group in the wrong styles. In addition, some retailers advertise half sizes or plus sizes that simply add a few inches to the waistline. Girls who fall outside those measurements are out of luck.

Their shopping experience just got a little brighter at http://www.itchickclothes.com. It Chick Clothes LLC has a trendy clothes line dedicated to plus size tween girls ages 7 to 12. “We looked around and found a significant gap in the clothes market,” says co-founder Emily Palit. “We realized that a very limited number of girls can actually wear the clothes that most retailers offer.
