Luxury Plus-Size Apparel

This Clothing Company Offers High-Quality Clothes in Larger Sizes

— October 3, 2015 — Fashion
'Universal Standard' is a clothing clothing that specializes in luxury plus-size apparel. While there are a growing number of retailers that offer plus-size options, not all of these garments are designed to last. In contrast to fast fashion offerings, Universal Standard makes clothing that is durable and made to last.

Universal Standard was founded by Alexandra Waldman and Polina Veksler in an effort to provide women with luxury plus-size fashion. The company specializes in fashion-forward clothing that is available in sizes 10 to 28. In contrast to other plus-size retailers, each garment is tailored to provide the most flattering fit. As Veksler explains, "we want people who wear our clothes to feel as style-relevant, beautiful and confident as anyone else."

Universal Standard ultimately provides high-end options for plus size consumers.
