 The Voluptuous Woman Company (VWC) is an organization that functions as an information
source for plus-size women , founded in 1997 and is based out of Maryland.
The Voluptuous Woman Company was created to celebrate
the plus-size woman by providing information and visibility
for them through various distribution channels. VWC
sponsors social, spiritual and empowering events that
provide the plus-size woman with the necessary tools
to live life to the fullest. For too many years society
has placed emphasis on women size 12 and under, when
the statistics state that 62% of the women in the United
States are size 14 or larger.
In September 1999, VWC published the
first edition of the Full-Figured Woman’s Resource
Guide, which is a 272-page collection of retailers,
manufacturers, designers, organizations, and websites
that have products and/or services specifically for
the plus-size woman. The second edition of the Resource
Guide will be available in electronic format by Spring
2004.
In October 2000, The Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc.® hosted over one hundred women for a weekend of empowerment workshops, a fashion show and luncheon. Some of Ms. Biggins’ accomplishments include, publishing the Full Figured Woman’s Resource Guide in 1999, conducting a workshop geared towards the plus-size women at two African American Women on Tour Conferences, and working as a freelance writer for Belle Magazine. Ms. Biggins has also been featured in a full page article in the Washington Times Newspaper in 2000 and in 2003 was featured as the cover story in the Washington City Paper. 2003 marked the beginning of a new phase of the Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc.® The company began carrying unique clothing and accessories for plus-size women via their online boutique. In 2005, Ms. Biggins and the Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc.® were chosen as one of eight companies to accompany the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Textiles and Apparel on a Plus-Size Apparel and Accessory Trade Mission to London, England and Dusseldorf, Germany.
In July 2005, the Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc.® launched their premier apparel product – Voluptuous Bath Wraps (www.plussizebathwraps.com). The Voluptuous Bath Wrap was designed specifically for the plus-size woman who has experienced the “shortcomings” of the average bath towel. The spa/bath wrap is made of 100% luxurious terry cotton velour and fits curvy women size 14-30. The bath wraps are carried by day spas, boutiques and hotels throughout the United States and Internationally.
