Today, the company is a leading force in size-inclusive fashion, home to more than a dozen brands across apparel, intimates, swim and lifestyle – each serving a deeply loyal and historically underserved customer. In just the past two years, FullBeauty’s has also been on an acquisition tear, adding names like Eloquii, Avenue, Cuup and Dia & Co., to its portfolio.
