Look glamorous when you dress up and feel fabulous wearing a Sydney Closet design. Plus size special occasion dresses in sizes 14 to 40 is our speciality. It's all we do! We’re passionate about designing dresses exclusively for teens and women with real curves to wear to once-in-a-lifetime events.
Our founder and President, Phyllis Brasch Librach, started Sydney’s after she couldn’t find a Prom dress that fit her curvy daughter. Read her story and you’ll understand where we get our passion for fashion for full-figured women and teens.
We never take a small dress and try to just make it bigger. We create our sample design on a size 16 and use that as a guide to make a pattern with a flattering fit in a fashionable style.
No matter when you dress up for a special celebration Sydney’s can help you find the dress of your dreams. Year round we stock thousands of stylish designs in our vast closet in suburban St. Louis, Missouri. Our racks are always packed with hard-to-find dresses in plus sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 and hard-to-find sizes 34, 36, 38 and 40.
Discover dresses to fit your curves and flatter your fashion style. Feel elegant wearing a timeless and classic black chiffon long formal to a black tie event. Or be irresistibly charming and romantic in a sweeping ball gown at a military ball. Show your flirty size wearing a sexy Little Black dress for a night on the town or the office holiday party. Be bold and oh-so fashionable when you wear a Sydney’s maxi dress with matching shrug to an informal beach or destination wedding.
