Let’s be honest: plus size sample sales are practically unicorns in the fashion world. Rare. Magical. Often whispered about but never quite within reach. But not this time.
Mark your calendars and clear your racks—because on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, BAACAL is opening the doors to a luxe fashion experience you can actually shop in your size. That’s right: a plus size sample sale. Hosted in Los Angeles, this exclusive Sip & Shop + Sample Sale is everything we’ve been waiting for, and The Curvy Fashionista is proud to be the official media sponsor of this groundbreaking event.
Plus Size Sample Sales? Yes, Please!
We’re talking sumptuous fabrics, timeless silhouettes, tailoring that gets us—and pieces that rarely, if ever, make it to a sale rack. Whether you’re a long-time BAACAL lover or new to the brand’s elevated ethos, this is your moment to touch, try, and twirl in everything from the signature cropped blazer to the scene-stealing Chain Mail Slip Dress.
And because BAACAL is founded on the idea that plus is not a niche but the norm, their “sample sizes” include 16/18 and 22/24—with styles available all the way up to a size 28. This isn’t a watered-down version of a sample sale; this is luxury fashion, unapologetically made for us.
If you’ve been rocking with The Curvy Fashionista for a while, then you already know that BAACAL isn’t new to us—they’re true to us. We’ve proudly featured the brand multiple times on the site, from spotlighting their bold approach to minimalist luxury to celebrating their game-changing silhouettes that make plus size style feel powerful, intentional, and undeniably chic.
Founded by Cynthia Vincent, BAACAL has carved out a lane in the plus size contemporary fashion space where plus size bodies aren’t an afterthought—they’re the blueprint. That’s why we’ve always championed the brand and their mission. Their pieces are the ones you wear to command the room, walk into your next chapter, or finally see your style reflected at the level it deserves.
So when the opportunity came to partner with BAACAL for this epic Sip & Shop + Sample Sale, it felt like a full-circle fashion moment. We’re not just showing up—we’re showing out.
