Monif C. Plus Sizes

09/04/2008 Posted by nycurvydiva

It's been so long that I have actually enjoyed shopping as a plus size woman. Most stores you go into have the same garden variety work suits, weekend track suits, capris, jeans, tank tops...just plain boring stuff. And the way the sales women at some of this big plus size stores treat you, most of the time you just want to run in, buy something, and run out. When you walk into Monif C. though, for a split second you forget you are in plus size store. Lots of color and really beautiful stylish clothing for women who like me who want to dress and wear the trends featured in magazines. Monif C. is my GO-TO store whenever I have an event or date or just a dinner out with friends and I really want to look fantastic. I've met Monif a few times and she is an absolute doll, really sweet and will give you lots of fashion and style advice. She even gave me dating advice last time I was there :-). It's a small store, but there are tons of great styles. Once you drop your paycheck here, you won't have to shop anywhere else in New York City...trust me, there's no were else to go anyways, I've been to them all. KUDOS to Monif C.!

I was in town for the weekend, and I decided to stop by Monif C Plus Sizes. I had seen some of their items on their website, but wanted to actually try on the clothes. To my surprise the clothes looked even better in person! The store atmosphere was very upbeat and the sales associates really helped me find the outfit that looked best on me. (and by outfit I mean 4 dresses that I just had to have) the clothes not only look beautiful, but they made me feel beautiful. It is no wonder that the company is growing rapidly, with such amazing customer service and company values, Monif C really tops my list. I highly suggest the Marilyn convertible dress to anyone who needs a dress for all occasions! They even gave me a dvd of the twenty plus ways to wear it! ( I'm still playing around with it, I've already worn it to 9 different functions, and no one knew it was the same dress!) A+++ i love Monif C!

Just wanted to add to the accolades of Monif C...was visiting from Hawaii for July 4th weekend and found a GORGEOUS scarf print dress and 2 amazing swimsuits at Monif C. Before I came to New York, I searched high and low online for plus size stores in New York thinking this is the fashion mecca and only found Monif C. I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for clothing in New York to come here. I'll be back next time I'm in New York.

I can't contain my excitement for Monif C. I live in LA but I was just in New York for a conference, and found Monif C. by googling plus size clothing. I LOVE this store! I can't find anything this beautiful, hot, and trendy in LA and I was so happy I came here. The store has beautiful dresses and I found some great items to take on my cruise in July. AND they just got in some HOT swimsuits, so I lucked out on that end also! So happy to have found this line and I will be shopping even if I have to order it online! Monif C. PLEASE COME TO LA SOON!!!

Pros: Love everything!

Cons: Can't think of anything

Monif C is here to offer us real women high end fashion and not the cheap stuff we're forced to buy. Her dresses are cut for real women with real "junk" and her convertable dress is the best investment piece i've bought. IN any color you can rock it anytime, anywhere. Its awesome.

I have had the pleasure of working with Monif C. for more than 3 years now. I have purchased her Marilyn Convertible dress, and I love the versatility that comes with it. Monif C. creates clothing for the everyday plus size femme here in the Big Apple. Whether you're dressing for the office, or going out to a cocktail party, or brunch with your girlfriends, Monif C.'s creations bring variety and exquisite taste to the woman with "curves." We will continue to rave about Monif, and support her all the way as she continues to produce extraordinary fashion for the plus size woman.

Pros: Located in the heart of Manhattan, prices are reasonable, color and fit are great for all body types!

Cons: n/a

I shopped at the Monif C. boutique this past Saturday and I love it! This is by far the best place to get plus size dresses in NYC. I needed a dress for my cousin's wedding in Mexico this summer and found the perfect silk scarf print dress. The staff is great and the shop has a great boutique feel. Highly recommended!

By far the greatest boutique in town! Great Customer service. I can't even put words to the great service and high quality of MonifC!

Pros: Friendly, energetic, talented

Cons: Cant think of any.

From a guy's perspective, I have to say the clothes and models on the Monif C. site are beautiful. I am stationed in Iraq and wanted to buy some clothes to send to my wife for her birthday. I went online to the Monif C. store and brought some dresses and one of the sales girls, Adrienne, was nice enough to call me to make sure the order was correct and make sure my wife got the clothes in time. Wonderful clothing and they have several beautiful women to show them off. Great store.

I came to NYC to visit my sister for the weekend and was so excited to shop but was soon disappointed to realize that New York has just as many shopping options as my hometown (Boston). A friend of mine saw a Monif C. dress in InStyle Magazine about a year ago but it wasn't until I was going on this trip did I realize that they have a store in New York City. When I first showed up at the boutique, I was a bit put off because the "boutique" is actually in an office building on 38th street which confused the heck out of me. Don' be afraid though because as soon as I walked in, I felt like I was walking into my dream closet! Dresses, shoes, jewelry! Imagine Betsey Johnson but for plus size girls! LOVE THIS BOUTIQUE. I went on a Saturday and they only have one fitting room, so I had to wait a bit while other women tried on clothes, but it was so cool to be around other hot plus size women like me! Plus Monif herself was there and she helped me pick out a few dresses, including this hot zebra print dress that looked intimidating on the hanger but was super hot when I put it on. I ended up spending way too much, but in the long run, I feel fantastic in my clothes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Ladies RUN, don't walk to Monif C., you won't regret it!
