Best of Time Out New York

As a business you always strive to do everything you can to give your customers best experience you can. Selflessly you do this daily and hope that at least one person appreciates the work you do.

So when a greatly admired publication tells the world you are the best at what you do it is humbling to say the least.

Time Out, "the world's living guide" of New York prints a best of edition every year to highlight the city's events in film, theatre, fashion, literature, other artistic events, eating out and nightlife.




We were honored to be given New York's Best Plus-Size Emporium. We are just a little shop but this made us feel like we were one of the big guys, or girls as it were. thank you Time Out for the incredible honor.

JBNY Exclusively at Curvaceous K!

Model and designer Joanna Borgella, of Nuvo TV's show Curvy Girls, has been busy designing her new line of JBNY dresses but had time to stop by our shop today to drop off some of the exclusives for Curvaceous K customers! We are the first store in NY to carry these dresses!

The dresses we will have are the Bella Midi dress like the one pictured here and we will have it in sizes  12 to 18. It is priced at $160.





But unlike this one, ours will have an open U neckline and a high back. We will post pictures as soon as we can get someone in one!

We will also be carrying the Seduction Wrap Dress in blue.  We will have it available in sizes 12 to 20 and is priced at $215.

We are extremely proud to be the FIRST store in the NYC area to carry the JBNY line.  Hopefully others will follow but as of right now Curvaceous K is where you need to come to see these dresses up close!






We are excited to bring you these one of a kind dresses and hope to see you soon when you get yours!
You can follow Joanna Borgella on Facebook and Twitter.

We would like to thank Joanna from the bottom of our hearts for giving us and our customers this one of kind opportunity. We hope you love them as much as we do and we thank you for your future visit.

Online Shopping

After much consideration Curvaceous K has taken down the Abbey Post store as of yesturday afternoon. We realized that our customers would be better served with our own e-commerce site.

It's taking time but hopefully that means we get it right when we finally roll it out to you. My e-commerce web developer has informed me we should have a product up in about a week! I hope you like it.

We wish to make sure this site is great and easy to you to use. When it is finished we will roll it out to you and hope you love it.

What Not To Wear!

Today was an exciting day here at Curvaceous K! We had the wonderful people from What Not To Wear bring in a young local woman from the Bronx to shop!

It was the first day of shopping which, if you ever watched the show, is usually the hardest. But from what we were told and observed, she had a pleasant experience with us and bought a few items during the 2 hours they were here.

There is no date for the airing yet but as soon as we know,  you'll know. We look forward to seeing how the episode comes together in the future.

We would like to thank all the people at TLC and What Not To Wear for this great opportunity to show their viewers what we have to offer to the plus size community.

With this being the last season of a great show we are truly honored and humbled that we have been chosen to be a part of this amazing show.

Below is a farewell from our favorite hosts, Stacy and Clinton.


Thank you Stacy and Clinton for 10 years of fun.

Gift Receipts Now Available!

Good news for those of you that have asked! We now have Gift Receipts available at our LES location for any amount you may need!

Feel free to stop by during our normal business hours to pick one up for that special person.

Remember, Mothers Day is just around the corner!

Shop Boldly!

Time Out New York Put Us On List Of Best Places To Shop!

Time Out New York released it's list for Best New Places for fashion and clothing in New York 2013 and we have are on it!

This is exciting for us as our store and our special customers become more and more known throughout New York and across the country.

Plus size shoppers are nothing new but have gotten little attention until recently. The fashion industry as a whole has greatly ignored the plus size woman for several years. As the average size of the American woman  has gone up the average size of a fashion model has gone down.

It feels good to see more attention being given the plus size woman and her shopping environment.

Pick up your copy of Time Out New York at your local magazine stand.
