How We Do Fit

Style Has No Size!

Unique body shapes abound, each with their own challenges. At monroe+main, one of the things we pride ourselves most on is how well our clothing fits women’s bodies – and that’s any woman, no matter her size!

Get ready for curve-friendly and super figure-flattering clothes that will feel like they were made especially for you.

How We Do Fit

At monroe+main one of the things we pride ourselves most on is how well our clothing fits women’s bodies – and that’s any woman, no matter her size!

So, to give you an inside look at how we make sure we get the best fit every single time, we sat down with the ladies on the merchandising and technical design teams. We call these ladies our “fit team,” and their goal is simple: to make the clothes look great on you, our lovely customers.

We Stand for Self-Acceptance

We celebrate the unique beauty to be found in every size, shape and silhouette with timeless looks that inspire admiring glances and endless compliments. Because you deserve it all, we firmly believe that comfort and style should never be mutually exclusive, whether found in a curvaceous pencil skirt, a pair of slim jeans, a flowy tunic or go-everywhere activewear pieces.

Equally as important, this means feeling comfortable in your own skin and with the place at which you have arrived in life today. From casual, everyday errands to festive family gatherings, you need a versatile wardrobe that works as hard as you do.

At monroe+main, we’re all about bringing you solutions: helping you to address any wardrobe concerns you may have with our figure-flattering designs, quality fabrics and on-trend fashions to take your confidence to the next level.

    I’m got very disappointed when I went to order to find out you have no clothes in my size. Because my size is 12 and I am not a plus size person.

      Hi Kathleen,

      With more and more American women falling into the plus-size category, we have decided to dedicate all our efforts and expertise toward serving the plus-size Gen-X woman exclusively: sizes 12W–30W. We thank our customers past, present and future for doing business with us. Please visit our sister companies, Midnight Velvet and Ashro for uniquely beautiful misses clothing options.

    I am so upset that Monroe and Main stopped the misses clothing line. I have ordered so many garments over the years from your catalogs. A very upset and disappointed customer!

    Does my credit status transfer over to the other sister companies? I don’t always need an XL size. How do I access my line of credit now that the company has split?

      Hi Andrea, Thanks for being a mm customer! Your credit won’t transfer to our sister companies, but we encourage you to apply for credit for any of our other companies. All the credit accounts are tied to each brand and are separate. Does that make sense? We will email you as well. Thanks for the comment!

    I just ordered your catalog for your non-plus sizes; all I see are plus sized fashion. I would like to enjoy your catalog and place an order for small to large, I can’t fit plus sized clothing. Has your company stopped selling small, medium, or average large?
