They say necessity leads to all opportunity. This couldn’t be truer for former journalist turned designer Phyllis Brasch Librach, who founded Sydney’s Closet after witnessing her own daughter’s frustration finding a good prom dress. In a world where being thin is over-glorified, girls and women who are anything above size 10 find it almost impossible to get stylish dresses to wear to the most important life events.

This is unfortunate because six out of every 10 American young women wear a size 14 or larger. That is six out of ten women who have to settle for shapeless, ugly muumuus every time they have to attend a wedding, a prom night, or any other special event. Phyllis started the now leading plus size special occasion dress line to solve this problem, and a decade later, she seems to be just getting started.

Her motto? Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, especially on special occasions.

Sydney’s Closet now has retail partners in every corner of the United States as well as Canada, Europe, South America, and Australia. They specialize in special event dresses from size 14 to 40 and also do special orders on request.

Librach’s dresses have seen the most prestigious weddings, prom nights, and homecomings than any other brand out there. They have also been featured in the Oprah Magazine, Seventeen, Teen Prom, and the Chicago Tribune, which christened Librach as ‘The Fairy Godmother of Plus Size Women.’

Alternatively, reach out to the company’s customer experience department through their social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) if you want to discuss more about your order. For instance, you can request design changes like adding pockets to the dress or ask if the dress can be made in any other color.

Since Sydney’s Closet cannot adequately serve the entire United States and other countries, they have a long list of retailers who store and sell their dresses. Be sure to confirm from the website that a retailer is authorized because there are scammers out there pretending to sell Sydney’s Closet designs. The benefit of dealing with an authorized retailer near you is the speed of delivery or in-person shopping, which reduces the chances of dissatisfaction and consequent returns.

Is Sydney’s Closet Worth It?

While all dresses at Sydney’s Closet are affordable compared to designer dresses, $200-$800 is still a lot of money. This begs the question, is the designer/retailer worth it?

Well, going by the online reviews on independent sites and our personal experience, the answer is a resounding yes. Ordering a dress from Sydney’s Closet will be the best experience you have had online so far. Their procedures are simple, the customer service is reliable and helpful, and deliveries are pretty fast.

But what’s most impressive though is the quality of dresses you receive, especially in a world where online retailers cannot be trusted to send what you ordered. The dress you see on the website is exactly what you’ll receive, and the sizes are always on point. And on the rare occasion you receive the wrong size, you can send the dress back within a week for a full refund or an exchange.
