Melissa Greene Unveils Exciting New Clothing Line, Ditches the ‘Plus-Size’ Label
Shopping for clothes can be a maze of confusing terms and categories, right? I’ve found myself wandering through department stores, baffled by the difference between the “ladies’” section and the “women’s” section, as if there’s some secret code about sizes that I just couldn’t crack. Melissa Greene, much like many of us, has questioned why clothing for women can’t be displayed together, regardless of size. She expressed her thoughts earlier this year, saying, “It’s just odd that you can’t go shopping with your friends because your store is tucked away in the corner… It feels like we’re being hidden away, like we don’t belong.”
This month, Melissa is launching her new clothing line, Melissa Greene Seven7, featuring sizes ranging from 4 to 28. You’ll be able to find it in popular stores like Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. Excitingly, a couple of these retailers have agreed to stop separating sizes, which is a huge step forward!
Melissa has been vocal about the limited fashion options for women above size 12. Even during her time on “That’s My Life,” she often had to alter her costumes for a more flattering look. She shared with StyleGuide, “I would get clothes made, and I can’t count how many times women would ask me where I got them, only for me to feel guilty saying, ‘Oh, I had it custom made for a show.’” She has expressed frustration at the lack of stylish options for women her size, often feeling like the choices either looked too young or way too old. That’s exactly what her new line is aiming to change.
On a broader note, shifting away from the “plus-size” label could prove to be a smart business move. If women can shop alongside their friends without being directed to an isolated section, they’re more likely to make those impulse buys. And hey, that’s a win-win for both them and Melissa!
