Alexis S Intimates Sets New Standard in Plus-Size Lingerie
Revolutionizing Plus-Size Lingerie with Alexis S Intimates
After a quarter of a century of experience in B2B, Alexis S Intimates—an independent Black female-owned brand—is setting a groundbreaking precedent with its extensive size range and diverse style selection tailored specifically for curvy bodies.
The company has introduced its first direct-to-consumer (D2C) ecommerce platform, claiming to offer the largest and most inclusive size range currently available online. This remarkable offering includes three times more sizing options than leading retailers, extending up to size 6X.
For 25 years, Alexis S Intimates has consistently supplied major retailers with high-quality lingerie designed for curvy individuals. Now, through its new D2C venture, the brand aims to address a significant gap within an industry that has often neglected to provide stylish and well-fitting plus-size options.
Understanding the Need for Inclusion
This timely launch comes in response to a notable statistic: 66% of U.S. women wear a D-cup or larger. However, only 47% of lingerie brands offer extended sizing, resulting in countless women lacking access to well-fitting and supportive lingerie. The founder of Alexis S Intimates, Sumiyyah Rasheed, highlights the necessity of quality, well-constructed garments designed specifically for curvy bodies.
"In a market increasingly affected by supply chain delays and fast fashion, manufacturing in the U.S. enables us to produce garments that emphasize quality, durability, and precise craftsmanship. Our mission is to ensure that underrepresented curvy bodies experience the luxury and fit that their smaller-sized counterparts have always enjoyed," says Rasheed. She started her journey in the lingerie industry in her living room with just a couple of second-hand sewing machines. Today, she has transformed the brand into a leader in the apparel sector, leveraging advanced robotics, similar to the technology used by top global fashion manufacturers.
Commitment to Quality and Precision
Unlike many brands that outsource production, often leading to sizing inconsistencies and lengthy lead times, Alexis S Intimates prides itself on being entirely U.S.-based for manufacturing. This choice ensures that every piece produced meets high standards of precision and consistency.
Moreover, the commitment to smart manufacturing practices allows the brand to enhance the production process, ensuring superior fit, durability, and quick turnaround times. This innovative approach serves as a compelling alternative to the traditional mass-market production methods that many companies rely on.
While the majority of brands limit their offerings to XL or 2X, Alexis S Intimates stands out by producing garments in sizes up to 6X, along with bras that span band sizes 36-48 and cup sizes D-N. Each piece is designed thoughtfully, featuring structured cups for lift, wider straps for enhanced comfort, and non-stretch panels to boost support. The initial D2C collection boasts over 30 original designs in five distinct colors, ensuring that curvy women can finally express their style without compromising on functionality.
Introducing the Debut Collection
The launch of this collection marks a pivotal moment in the global lingerie market, which continues to expand as consumers increasingly search for well-fitting plus-size options. Alexis S Intimates is not just catching up; it's leading the way in setting a new standard for inclusivity, superior craftsmanship, and accessible luxury.
Shoppers can explore the debut collection, now exclusively available on the brand's website, ensuring that everyone can find the lingerie that fits their body and style without hindrance.
