Introduction

Welcome to the Kiyonna blog! After a hiatus that lasted a little too long, we're excited to relaunch our blog and share all the exciting new things happening at Kiyonna.

Since 1996, we’ve stayed focused on designing clothes made to flatter full-figured women with curves. In an industry that has bloomed tremendously in the last twenty-two years, we've continued to curate styles that compliment sizes 10-32, respectively. We acknowledge that every plus size body is unique and we take pride in knowing our styles make everyone feel beautiful. Fast fashion seems to be readily available everywhere we turn, but it often doesn't meet expectations. Where fast fashion often fails, we continue to succeed. From the inception in our design room, to the final cut and fitting with our fit models, you can feel confident knowing our clothes weren’t hastily put together. Our goal isn’t to just produce mass quantities of low-quality clothing. Our goal is to leave a lasting impression that will make you want to keep coming back. We want you to feel stunning in every Kiyonna piece you own.

We also want you to feel good when you buy Kiyonna. Made with love and care right here in Southern California, we are proud of the business relationships we’ve fostered within our community. As a local business, we understand the importance of supporting other local businesses in the area. We've also stayed actively involved in philanthropic projects with Sandy Hook Promise, Working Wardrobe, Women Helping Women and Operation Deploy Your Dress. Our desire to create an impact in our local and national communities is integral to who we are as a company.

While we’ve made our mark with our special occasion dresses, you’ll be seeing more relaxed styles for everyday wear, as well as fresh takes on some of our coveted designs. Don’t worry, our main focus will still be designing dresses for all your special occasions that are beautiful, well-made and affordable. We understand the desire to feel and look your best without breaking the bank. Whether you’re shopping for a special dinner, party, gala or wedding, we hope you’ll find something that truly makes you feel good, inside and out.

We’ll not only be sharing the latest collections on our blog, but different ways to style our pieces to fit your many different occasions. You’ll also find fun posts, such as recipes and DIY projects from some of our own awesome Kiyonna employees. You’ll also find stories and interviews with some of our bloggers, influencers and long-time fans. Our goal on the blog is to open our door a little wider, so that you can really get to know us as a company and brand.

We look forward to sharing so much with you!
