Fashion to Figure was founded in New York, New York, in 2002 by two great grandsons of Lena Bryant, Michael and Nicholas Kaplan. These brothers wanted to create another plus sized women’s clothing store.

As of late 2016, the company has 26 locations and secures their inventory from more than 100 fashion vendors.
