Welcome to Voluptuous You.
I am Desiree, a full figure woman who is very
happy with all of my curves and assets. As a child growing
up, I was always the "big girl", the one that stood out. Being taller than the rest and having
defined curves, I became very interested in making my own clothes.
My aunt and cousins were excellent dressmakers, so I learned from them. My mother didn't sew, but
she was a great supvervisor. And so began my path.
I would go to
Woolworth or McCory's on my lunch break to study patterns and fabric. This is where I found my natural talent for design.
I could make anything as long as I had a clear picture of it in my head. I learned that the fabric would always
tell me what it wanted to do. For the most part, that turned out better than I anticipated. Soon friends and strangers
off the street wanted my designs.
