"I was a Katrina victim and reached out to MIB in a time of need. You at MIB sent me clothes I could have never dreamed of buying . I still to this day use the bathing suit. I still have two blouses that I'm able to wear and a pair of leggings. Your clothes are amazing. The shirts are made long enough and not just wide. They made me feel feminine again. Not self conscious to get out the house. I even to this day have plus size women ask me where I purchased my blouse. :-). I'm happy to say i was able to purchase two of your clearance shirts and received them today. And they are great !!!! Your clothes last. They don't fall apart within a few months. I love MIB. Wish I could buy more!!!! Hopefully I can soon. I am 5'11 so I can't just buy the normal plus size shirt. It's too short. But you at MIB ... Are actually Making it big !!!!" D.V., January 2012

"Just purchased and received the Hailey pleated top and the 3/4 Sleeve Claire Top. I love both of them--the fit is great and flattering, the fabric drapes nicely, and I've received several compliments. I wish I'd purchased the knit top in all three colors when it was available! I hope you offer this in the spring/summer collection, maybe with shorter sleeves. It's really a flattering silhouette." B.L. (via Facebook), January 2012

"Thank you! What a great Christmas greeting showing a picture of the staff with their pets! Very nice. Thank you for making clothes that fit and providing great service. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones." M.G., December 2011

"'Ohana in Hawaiian means family...blood or extended, in essence 'ohana is family of the heart. MIB is just that to me and my family of big girls! As a valued family member of MIB, I am always treated with kindness and respect. Never have I had any level of displeasure with the grand products of MIB! MiB is my favorite company to work with! I wish you would come open a store in Honolulu! Thank you for all you do!" T.T., Ewa Beach, HI, December 2011

"Thank you to the people at MiB - I just received my last order in super-quick time and everything fit like a glove and looks and feels great - So I can't resist buying more. I really needed this boost - us "big" girls rely so much on your know-how with style and fit. Can't thank you enough!" N.K., South Australia, December 2011

"THANK YOU!!! I wish more clothing stores sold clothing Made in the USA!!! With the economy in the USA being what it is, many are worried about American workers keeping their jobs. Jobs that help pay our Social Security. Jobs that help pay for upkeep of our roads and other infrastructure, jobs that pay for our military, jobs that pay for our grand-children's schooling. THANK YOU!!! For supporting American workers! I will be placing another order soon. Thank you!" N.T., Lorain, OH, November 2011

"I wish you would bring back the complete Venus line as an MIB signature stock line that is available year-round. As I wrote to you before, the pieces are timeless and classic, but have a nice edge that sets them apart from a lot of other apparel lines. I have a few pieces of the line and at this point and just sick that I didn't order everything right away. I'm crazy about the pieces I did buy and would love to have others! The fabric is just outstanding and travels beautifully, too!" P.C., Louisville, KY, November 2011

"I absolutely love the fit of the swing style tee shirt. I hope you make many more in different fabrics--with the long sleeves, please!"A.D. (via Facebook), October, 2011

"I LOVE the top part of the Halter Swimsuit!!! It has support plus the top is an attractive very flattering cut that covers but a little sexy at the same time. Please....please....please consider making the top the same length but without the bottom part attached and more A-line so it can be worn as a 2 piece with your Swim Shorts. Please make it in a variety of colors, solids and prints. It would fit all of us regardless if we are long or short torso as well as it would be a style that could be worn as a cute bra-less halter top with shorts or capris or in the water as a swimsuit...did I mention that I LOVE the cut of the top of halter swimsuit?!" S.R., Edmonton, AB, October 2011

"I love that you use plus size models in your catalogs. I am also grateful for the nice designs. I am tired of other companies that don't even try, or think that plus size women do not deserve beautiful clothes to wear. The prices are a little high, but I'm OK with paying higher prices because your quality is very good." R.B., October 2011

"I just received my first order from you. I hope that I can convey here how delighted I am! The fabrics are lush. The craftsmanship and detail is outstanding. Sizing is perfect. Thank you for offering so much of your line in black (I'm a writer. We wear black!) Thank you for offering classic pieces with clean lines. Thank you for NOT offering pieces with words on the front, like "sexy" and "yes!" and "love" written in rhinestones. Thank you for the beautiful Venus line. I wish I had gotten in on it earlier, and I do hope you will continue the beautiful, classic pieces in such great colors that can be dressed up or down. Thank you for making "short" sleeves that actually fall where one would expect instead of halfway past my elbow. When I first received your catalog, I balked a bit at the prices. But as we all know, we get what we pay for. The pieces I got are gorgeous classics and built to last. I also appreciate the lovely people who answer the phone. All so helpful! Thanks for fast shipping. I am tickled to death to be your customer." P.C., Louisville, KY, September 2011

"I just love MIB and the clothing you choose to offer us. I couldn't believe the first time I bought the relaxed stretch twill pants and they fit perfectly right off the bat. That doesn't happen for me anywhere else. Thank you for the way your clothes fit, and thank you for keeping the company running so well in these tough economic times. I don't know what I'd wear without you." M.P., August 2011

I just came across your website for the first time and I had to stop and say THANK YOU FOR USING REALISTIC SIZED MODELS. I love seeing how I would really look in clothing before I purchase an item. Keep up the good work." A.C., August 2011

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you use models who actually wear the sizes you sell!!!"K.A. (via Facebook)

"Yesterday I wore one of my favorite outfits. I've owned this comfortable and stylish pants and top set for a few years now, but its design is classic so it has never gone out of style. The fabric, which feels good and drapes well, has a chic, sophisticated design and color. I found myself having a long wait for an appointment, and my mind wandered while I passed the time. I began to notice some of the structural features of my clothing: the well-secured quality buttons; the strong, neatly sewn hems; the polished look of sleeve trim; and so on. I wasn't sure where I had purchased my ensemble, but it did cross my mind that it might be from MIB. When I got home later and checked the label, it was indeed a Making It Big product. I've bought numerous items from MIB through the years, and I've never been disappointed in a single thing. Your clothing is not inexpensive, but it is well worth the cost because each piece is an investment in an item that will be a lasting addition to my wardrobe. The clothes are durable and wear well, the colors remain bright, and the styles remain fashionable rather than being trendy. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the quality of your goods, especially in a world where cheap and shoddy sometimes seem to be the norm. And, by the way, I also very much like the fact that you use models who are the sizes of the women who will wear your products. The shopper gets a far more realistic idea of how the clothing will look on her." L.T., Marietta, CA, June 2011

"I just wanted to send a note to say that I received the Monica tunic I ordered from you and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I wore it to a museum last weekend and received rave reviews on it. It is comfortable and cool and the color is great! Your clothing is awesome. Keep up the great work!" L.E., Ames, IA, June 2011

"Thank you for being such a socially conscious company." J.W., June 2011

"I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generosity. When my husband opened our emails I heard him say “Well, what a fantastic company you are dealing with” - and how true is that!!! I was more than happy to pay for the postage for the return of the jacket, but now will have much delight in being able to donate it to the Hobart Women's Shelter. The winters in Tasmania are very bleak and cold and I know how welcome such a warm and beautiful jacket will be. Customer service from MIB has always been wonderful but this act of generosity above and beyond any expectations one could hold. Thank you once again." R.D., Tasmania, Australia, May 2011

Thank you for caring about the large lady and thank you for giving us lovely stylish clothes to wear that suit our bodies. A woman can be a beautiful at any size. Thank you for pants that are long enough. Thank you for not using polyester and bad fibers that are unhealthy and uncomfortable and unattractive. Thank you. Thank you and keep up the good work.

"I just want to thank you for using bigger beautiful women for models! We get to see what the clothes will truly look like on us!!!" S.W., Austin, TX, February 2011

"Like everyone else, sometimes I order things from other on-line sites. When those packages arrive, I am always nervous because I am never sure of the fit or quality of the merchandise. When a package from MIB arrives, I am always happy and excited because I am sure of the fit and quality of my selections." J.R., Austin, TX, February 2011

"I've been buying from MIB for more than 10 years now. Your clothes fit well, they are made well, and they are always fashionable. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my clothes.

I have never ordered pants before where the crotch wasn't down to my knees or where the waist wasn't falling off. I wanted you to know how thankful I am because I usually sew my clothes or alter them and have never been able to buy clothes "right off the rack." I couldn't believe it!

"I love the articles, especially the Love Your Body Day one that just got posted. Thanks for doing that, and thanks for the MIB products, which I LOVE!

Your clothing is modest, lovely, and even made of natural fibers--I am so impressed. The only problem is that I've lost enough weight that I can't fit into your products! I sew for others (and almost all of my own clothes) and I just wish I could find patterns for designs like yours. Thanks for your site and your clothes. You show respect for women, especially for large women, and that's rare and delightful." L.R., October 2010

As others have said, I have struggled all my life to find clothes that, not only fit, but look nice and are made of quality materials. I get so many complements when I wear MiB outfits. I refuse to buy Plus-size clothes from a company whose models seem to be a size 2 and was so pleasantly surprised when I found you almost 2 years ago. Keep up the good work!

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the clothes swap you did a year or so ago. The weight changes that are part of being a plus-size person can make keeping up a wardrobe very difficult. I'd love to see an ongoing version of these swaps, to connect your customers, or to have swaps incorporated into your sales. Thanks for your help. You've been a great support to me for a long time." L.S., Santa Rosa, CA, September 2010

"Thank you all so much! You are very kind and understanding. I can't tell you how much your clothes mean to me. I use to dress just for comfort and would buy ten of the same single color jumper and wear them for years.

And the compliments I receive are great, too. Keep up the awesome selections and sizes!" September 2010

D.G., June 2010

"I just purchased 2 of your wonderful shirts in your NEW SIZE C. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the thinking that went into making the garments...the ease from bust to lower hip and the setting of sleeves. I am much older than you average client and used to sew Vogue patterns so I appreciate any attempt at skillful design and execution. Thanks for choosing quality materials. Aloha."

"4 years ago my apartment that I had lived in for 14 years burned down. My friend had called to order me an MiB gift certificate since so many of my clothes came from you.

"I pass on your name to all of my friends who don't know about MiB - Your clothing is worth the price, because you are paying for quality. I have pieces that have lasted me for years and years. One whole side of my closet is Making it Big. You do an amazing job helping your customers look and feel stylish and that its worth the price. Everytime I come in I find something. It's an exciting event when the new MiB catalogue comes." M.O., Escondido, CA, May 2010

"I wanted you to know that I really love your clothes. I wanted you to know that you should feel proud to be a part of MiB, as you are doing something I truly appreciate - offering clothes that are plus size and that make plus size people feel good about themselves." M.G., Carmel, CA, April 2010

"I placed an order and wanted you to know I really like your clothes. I feel they are well made and make me feel good, as well as being comfortable clothes with an interesting design, unlike the generic polyester stuff I see elsewhere." T.T., Vancouver, WA, April 2010

"I love the length of your blouses. It is the perfect size to cover everything I want coverered." V.O., Windsor, CT, April 2010

"I ordered a catalogue from you and wanted to pass along that I was thrilled to see plus size models in the catalogue. I was thrilled to be introduced to your company and appreciate your approach." C.S., Overland Park, KS, April 2010

"I really like the Taci Tie Dye Tunic and wish you can continue to carry it in future seasons." C.L., Aiea, HI, April 2010

"I am so happy to see that someone finally carries a size A bra for a full figured lady. Please continue to carry this bra and please try to get it in black. I received my first one in the mail today and I love it." D.A., April 2010

"First of all, thank you so much for your line of clothing that has obese ladies in mind. I have not been able to find clothes that fit -well-ever. Again, thank you for helping me feel like a human again. Home made clothes are great. But there's something about sliding that beautiful blouse over your head and knowing that it fits that makes you feel pretty from the inside out." K.S., April 2010

"I am a long time MIB customer. I am usually dressed from neck to ankle in MIB clothing. I'd like to thank you for adding the ability to filter by size, especially on the Sale area. I have suggested this a few times over the years and I'm really happy to see it implemented - thanks!" L.H., Atkinson, NH, April 2010

"I am not a customer, but just received your catalog for the first time and wanted to say how nice it was. It was so nice to see beautiful women wearing modern things. Tired of the other catalogs that were all geared toward "young and skinny people" when I wasn't young or skinny. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a customer as I'm at the low-end of your size range but I'm looking forward to sharing your catalog with friends and family." J.M., April 2010

"I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love the Paris Dress. It fits great, having the side pockets is a nice plus, and it’s actually long enough. I hope you use this pattern style to make more dresses – I’ll buy every one you offer!" R.D., April 2010

"I really like your clothes, they are fashionable, comfortable and easy to care for. Great for work and casual wear. The operators/coustomer sevice staff on the phones are always courteous, kind and helpful . I do like your clothes and I will continue to buy from you." D.L., Pittsburgh, PA, April 2010

"I just received your catalog for the first time today and was VERY pleased to see that you use plus size models in the photos. It is so hard to envision how an outfit may look on a heavier person when viewing it on a size 8 model. I have added your website to my favorite places and plan on ordering from you soon! THANK YOU for thinking of the customer!!!" P.K., April 2010

"Just a note to let you know I appreciate the new styles that you are selling this season - love the closer fit, and am looking forward to seeing it on me. Again, I really like the new direction you are taking us!" D.W., Germantown, MD, April 2010

"I love ordering with you. You guys are so great, I hate how other companies always try to get other stuff out of me. You are always quick and efficient and to the point and always a pleasure to talk to." S.C., April 2010

"Thrilled you are having polyester and I love the Judith Tunic. MiB is doing a great job. Love the different patterns." J.R., April 2010

"Bought the Jamaica Tunic, and loved it! I found the hemline very flattering and think you should get more similar items (more asymmetrical hemlines)." K.K., April 2010

"I really like your products, nice quality, I hope to order more in the future. Thanks" April 2010

"I appreciated so much the phone call from MIB, after I posted on Facebook. I was a little worried about where my credit card info had gone, and more than a little annoyed, and they were reassuring and apologetic, and gave me a contact number that I can reach out to if all does not go well. So for those of you who have read this, be assured that they do follow up on these things. I will let you know when the order arrives, but I am fully confident that the items will be lovely. I wore a dress from MIB some years ago at my son's wedding." J.W., April 2010

"Just placed an order for a top and pants. I am excited to order much more. I wanted to pass along that I am so thrilled to have found MiB. I got the catalogue and was so grateful. It's refreshing to find a plus size company who realize that just because I'm plus size doesn't mean I don't have style. I send so many thanks and am more than willing to pay for the style and the quality." L.C., April 2010

"I absolutely love the Amelia Oversize Shirt. I have already worn it twice because of how great it fits and feels. I want to extend thanks to all of MiB." B.S., Maspeth, NY, March 2010

"Got my order. Thanks for quick service! I LOVE the tahaitian top. Fits great. Roomy in arms and sleeves, length good - very flirty, pretty. Wonderful. Make more in this style PLEASE!!!" A.A., Castro Valley, CA, March 2010

"Wanted you to know I really like the Anywhere Pants. I feel most companies think plus sized women are big everywhere including their ankles and all the pants I seem to find are "huge" around the ankle." J.B., Marshalltown, IA, March 2010

"I recently ordered a blouse that, unfortunately, was out of stock. I looked through your on-line catalog and found several alternatives but wasn't sure which to go with. I have a very difficult time finding tops with arms big enough in general but, as a harp player, I truly need freedom of movement. I called your customer service staff (though I can't remember the name of the wonderful woman I spoke with) and was extremely impressed and delighted with the help she gave me. Not only did we discuss the options and how each would work, we also discussed size to make sure I'd have the range of arm motion I'd need but also have a body that wouldn't be too large. I settled on the Tanya top (my first choice among the alternatives). I absolutely LOVE it and it does just what it needs to do -- and will look wonderful with the black Venus pants I'd also ordered. I have the arm room I need and the tie back will keep the roominess of the body in check nicely. Without her help I probably would have made the wrong decision on size. Now I'm looking forward to having something snazzy to wear at my next performance! Thanks again for the wonderful service as well as the beautiful clothes!" D.C., New Castle, NH, March 2010

"Wanted you to know that I do a lot of catalog shopping and always have gotten nice people when I call." P.D., Hampton, VA, March 2010

"Bring back the New Venus Jacket. I absolutely LOVE your Wide Leg Jeans and you should never discontinue them. Please pass my compliments on to your shipping department as last time I ordered on a Thursday afternoon and received the package that Saturday!" M.F., March 2010

"I placed an order including both the Undies and Nylon undies. I am SO excited to try the undies out. I have been searching for plus size quality undies and hope these work. Thank you in advance!" M.B., West Palm Beach, FL, March 2010

"Ordered the Carmen Oversize Shirt in Diva Blue and was so happy that we you're finally offering such a great blue color! Delighted to hear that you are extending to smaller sizes. Even though I can fit into other companies, I will continue to buy from you. No other company holds a candle to you! Your quality is great and you have a customer for life - I have been ordering for years. Recently moved to a rural town and had to begin shopping at Wal-Mart - The quality and fit of the "plus size" clothing there is nothing like yours." S.A., Ceres, CA, March 2010

"I just ordered for the first time recently and just received the items. I loved everything I got. I loved the fabric, the cut, everything about it was exactly as was stated in the description." March 2010

"I just got your catalog and was surprised and pleased by it. I am grateful you offer clothing specifically designed for the plus-sized form. A very sincere and heartfelt thank you, and I'm looking forward to receiving my order." L.P., Lubbock, TX, February 2010

"I really like that you make the effort to use cotton and natural fibers. It is extremely important to me. I love the Perfect Quilted Jacket. Couldn't have given it a better name! Very happy that you LISTEN!" A.B., February 2010

"I do not wear the sizes you offer anymore. I did not want to simply write asking to no longer receive your catalog without telling you how much I appreciate it. Your lovely models are the sizes of the clothes you offer and your clothes are stylish and have a lot of color and design. These are blessings to those of us who got the idea that dull bags to hide in are the lot in life as we deserve no more. Thank you for giving dignity to women of large sizes. As Dr. Suess might also have said, a woman is a person no matter how large." P.L., February 2010

"I just wanted to share with you what a godsend your Leggings are. During the recent repeated blizzard conditions out here in the DC area, I lost power for 60 hours. By the time my heat came back on, it was only 35F in my apartment. But throughout, my legs stayed roasty-toasty warm thanks to your wonderful leggings! Thank you for such a fantastically great product. As I go to dig out my car for the second time, I've got a pair on under my jeans, and I know I'll stay plenty warm. Again, thank you so much!!" M.J., Bethesda, MD, February 2010

"I received your catalogue for the first time, and just called to say thank you! It was so refreshing to see plus size models in the catalogue, and will certainly be ordering from you soon. I already appreciated you more than Roamans, because I can never get an idea of how the clothes will actually look." February 2010

"The clothes are so well made, and as I'd love to see a live catalogue on Youtube - if you filmed models in the clothes so we could see how they look moving, that would be wonderful! Thank you for making it possible for me to look elegant and appropriate even in the super sizes. I'm a loyal MIB fan." February 2010

"I really appreciate your prompt and courteous service. I placed an order and received it on my birthday so I can wear the items to my party. Thanks everyone!" N.M., February 2010

"I am looking forward to my order. I have received many compliments at work about things I have worn from MIB. And the guy who took my order deserves commendation for being so proactive." R.J., Stanley, ND, January 2010

"Love your clothes. I have recommended MiB to a friend who has now started wearing your clothes and they fit her great. My friend always looks beautiful." J.G., La Crescenta, CA, January 2010

"Very satisfied with the quality of the clothing, one of the best clothing catalogs ever." B.L., Walworth, NY, January 2010

"LOVE your clothes and always refer people to you. Everyone is always nice and helpful!!" K.L., Sacramento, CA, January 2010

"Just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the customer service and MIB." January 2010

"Love your clothes and glad I found you!!!" J.K., Columbus, OH, January 2010

"I have been buying your clothes for 3 years and am so pleased with them. I hope you can offer more nightwear, including brushed cotton & flannelette." December 2009

"I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you offering a shipping discount to those who aren't eligible for free shipping on your current offer. As an Alaskan, I am frequently frustrated by inequitable shipping offers, so I really appreciate it when I see a fair policy. Thank you." F.A., Juneau, AK, December 2009

"I love doing business with your company. I hope if MIB doesn't stock the aloha shorts for this coming summer, that you will be able to connect me with a company that I can purchase them from." H.V., Lacey, WA, December 2009

"MIB has the best quality, primarily because you start with such good quality fabrics to begin with. I have been wearing one outfit since 1995. I no longer order from Katherines any longer as I am so happy with your products." December 2009

"Thank you for the personal response. It is just more proof that MIB is better than this incident appears. Fair resolution. I really do appreciate quality customer service and your products. I do hope you will be able to offer a similar product in the future. I will look forward to future catalogues." Miami, FL, December 2009

"I just received my order from your "warehouse" sale and I must say... WOW!! for under $250 I purchased ELEVEN tops!! What in the world are you thinking?? I don't often purchase clothing because of budget issues but I couldn't help myself with this deal. Everything is lovely. Thank you for giving me a new wardrobe I can be proud of!" J.L., December 2009

"I just had to write and let you know how impressed I am with my first order from MIB. I ordered a blouse, Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and it showed up on my door Monday, just three days later. . .over a holiday weekend! I thought I'd be waiting a week or two, but now I can wear it to work tomorrow. I'm so excited. And according to the package it was sent from California and I'm in Delaware, on the other side of the country. Thanks for your great service!" A.R., Wilmington, DE, December 2009

"I LOVE YOU for the sale!! Just sad I missed the Ciaro top! I spotted it a while a ago and then it was off the site.. happy holidays!!" December 2009

"I just wanted to thank you for sending the Thanksgiving greeting. I really enjoyed seeing all of you (including the little doggies!) You always do such a great job for your customers. I am one who remembers a few years back to the little brick store in Cotati. My son and I were on vacation and I decided to look you up. Poor kid, he was about 15 at the time and bored to death. But I had a ball and bought a couple of outfits. Now-a-days my weight fluctuates depending on how closely I am following doctor's orders. I still like to shop Making It Big both on-line and through the print catalog. I am so glad to see that you have kept the high quality of you clothing while others have not. Quality never goes out of style! Thanks again for all you do." L.R., November 2009

"Fun to see who is behind the scenes! Happy thanksgiving to you, too. As I sit here, thinking about it, I have a LOT of the clothes from you...I absolutely love the batiks, the longer shirt/blouse length and the natural fabrics.....would love to see more blue green and purple, fushia/pink or green blue combinations.....but other than that (and lower prices..)....I love your clothing. Classy style and well made. Thank you!" H.B., November 2009

"I just wanted to let you know how please I am with the customer service I received yesterday! I placed an order on Friday, with overnight shipping. Unfortunately, it was sent ground instead. I noticed the error when the package didn't arrive as expected. I called MIB and not only did a LIVE PERSON answer my call on the SECOND RING (wow!) but she fixed the problem immediately and I received most of my order today. I just wanted you to know that I not only LOVE LOVE LOVE your clothes, but now I can brag about your great customer service too! Thanks!" R.D., November 2009

"Wanted to pass on how much I appreciate ordering with you. You are so much more knowledgeable and expedient than other companies and use your phone time to help the customer rather than push them to buy more. I appreciate and love ordering with your phone team." K.P., Manchester, NH, November 2009

"Thank you. Please never stop making those long tunics and blouses. We larger folks need the length. Someone stopped me and asked where I bought my top and that's why I need the catalog. The fabric is fabulous. I'm so sick of polyester and the rayon is a welcome change. I consider myself fashionable and in style and you make it easy with your fashions. I especially like the shells. I have one in every color and can change them with a different jacket or vest. Someone finally made something for the large people!!!" J.S., New Cumberland, PA, November 2009

"I just had to let you know that my gorgeous clothes from you only took four days to arrive. That is absolutely amazing!!!! Four days from the USA to Australia must be a record. Thank you so much for your fantastic customer service and as always, beautiful clothes. Thank you once again." R.D., Tasmania, Australia, November 2009

"Thanks for having real humans at the other end of your email. Many companies just have automatic responders." L.F., November 2009

"You are the only company that I buy clothes from. I've been buying from you for 20 years, since the days of the little black and white catalogues. You certainly have changed, and every change is for the better. Thank You." K.J., Cameron Park, CA, November 2009

"I appreciate how hard you work and all you do for us customers." S.M., Chaplin, CT, November 2009

"EVERYTHING that I have ordered from you is great, I still have things that retain the terrific shape and color over the years. I still wear the first blouse I ever bought from you guys and it still looks as good and beautiful as when I first received it. I get so many compliments when I wear your clothes and they make me feel so confident. Everytime I call you guys fix any problem so fast. No other company goes out of their way to help the customer like you do, and I wanted to thank you for that. You have a customer for life" R.K., Chico, CA, October 2009

"I love MiB. I think you're awesome. Your quality is 1st rate and your Green Story really impressed me." Lisa, September 2009

"I have never seen Customer Service as good as yours and my experience with MiB has never had a bad or just "ok" interaction. You extend ourselves beyond any other company I have ever worked with, and for that I am very appreciative." N.A., New York, NY, August 2009

"Can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with my newest order. I left reviews for all the items. 5 stars all the way. Everything was better than expected and the greatest quality. I would have paid even twice as much for the new twill coat. The new panties are great as the quality of the cotton is greatly improved like the ones I ordered years ago. I’m also thrilled with the new Venus jackets. I just received the second one (now have navy and black!) You work very hard keeping our interest at heart and provide items that we ask for. What more could we need. Thanks so much." T.W., Rochester, NY, August 2009

"I love your clothes and have been a loyal customer for many years. I found MIB many years ago online and I've been hooked ever since. I buy 99% of my clothes from MIB. They're comfortable, I feel good in them, they fit well, fabric quality is very good and I've received many compliments over the years. What else could I want? I especially appreciate your promotions in this economic environment; it's always an incentive to place another order. I do wish you would make one size smaller....please don't make me go to Lane Bryant. ;-) I'm so grateful I found MIB! Thank you!!!" L.C., Prior Lake, MN, August 2009

"Just ordered and wanted to pass on how thrilled I am with the Sport Tops. At first I thought they were expensive but man are they worth it. I am so please I am going to order 3 more. They have great support that I can't find in other sport tops." C.F., Minneapolis, MN, August 2009

"I have been with you for ten years. I have never made an exchange. I have never received anything I didn't love. Your clothes are well made and unique. I loved the corduroy you used to carry. I also still have a tee that matches a jacket that matches pants, from the old days. Thanks for being so nice." S.D., Chicago, IL, July 2009

"I wanted to tell you that I was thrilled you are coming out with some new basics. I love the New Venus Jacket. It can be worn with anything, and worn everywhere. I appreciate that it is longer. The whole new catalog is wonderful." R.R., Minden, NV, July 2009

"I have been waiting for so long to order and now that I finally have I'm so looking forward to experiencing the quality of your clothes that is so evident. Roamans and Lane Bryant do not have your clothing nor your awareness that Plus Size Models for Plus Size Women is a more considerate approach. I very much appreciate this as part of your catalogue and think it makes you a greater contribution to the plus size world." K.F., Quinton, VA, July 2009

My husband even commented on how well your clothes fit and how impressed he was by the quality. This was my first order from Making it Big, but it will definitely not be my last. In fact, I will be placing another order today. Again, I am so happy to have discovered Making it Big. I am a very busy professional and I do not have time to troll the malls for high quality clothes that fit. Keep offering the exceptional products and your wonderful service, and you will have a customer for life with me." R.T., Winter Haven, FL, June 2009

"I wanted to thank you for your kindness and great service! I'm in a wedding that only came up a week ago, and is happening next Friday. I ordered an outfit on Friday, found out I wouldn't probably get it in time if I left that order in, and decided to cancel it, and place another order. Needless to say, I spoke with several people in your company, and emailed, too. Each of them was very helpful, courteous and professional. I was given the feeling that they would do whatever they could to help me, and even though I was freaking out, I was able to get things taken care of with the help of these people. Thank you so very much, all of you!" P.C., Naperville, IL, June 2009

"I ordered 9 more of your undies today. I'm a whole new person. I'm thrilled to have found great undies that fit well. I like the full coverage. Anyone who has had trouble with undies should give these a try. I love my tye dye tee and when I wore it for the first time I got several compliments." L.L., June 2009

"It makes so much difference that I will be treated fairly and nicely every time that I call to order which is not true of everywhere I shop. I know that your clothes are expensive but I hope that some of the cost goes to pay for the people who work there. They deserve it! The quality of your product is good. It is possible to produce nice quality and have good people working there." J.S., Sun Lakes, AZ, June 2009

"Thank you! I absolutely love your clothes. I ordered from MIB for the first time this spring, although I’ve received your catalogs for some time.

"Wanted to compliment your Customer Service by saying I really feel as though you listen to me and to what I have to say, whether good or bad." L.W., Felton, CA, June 2009

"The reasons why I shop MIB are because of the natural fibers and common sense..... larger women have greater expectations and I love that you cater to them. There hasn't been a time that I haven't gone out and people comment on what I'm wearing. If I can't have an extreme makeover.....at least I have MiB!!!!!!!" T.K., Cherry Hill, NJ, June 2009

"Just wanted to say how happy I am with my purchases. I am a new cusomer and your catalog with the plus size models is absolutely the best. I have ordered from other plus size catalogs for 40 years and it is always a guess what an outfit will look like on me ...because the models are about a size 12 in their catalogs...Please continue to send me your new styles, because I am so tired of the same old, same old.....Thank you so much for the refreshed new looks." B.S., Palm Bay, FL, May 2009

"Ordered a Tropical swim top and love it so much that I ordered the Jackson Swim Top. It has taken me such along time to find the right swimsuit. I love the length of your Tropical Swim Top. I ordered one from Junonia and they just don't make their tops or shorts long enough! Keep the length. It works! I can't wait to see how the swim shorts will work out. I am already excited knowing that they will be a good length." R.C., Santa Clara, CA, May 2009

"I ordered the wool coat over the winter. I was hesitant at first because of the price but have been happy in it every time I put it on. I feel like a million bucks when I wear it.

"Thank you so much! I can hardly wait! I have been buying MIB clothes since 1983, and have worn each piece over and over. Even came down to the store in that little bitty town once!

I was so afraid you would just have an outdoor sale in Cotati that I couldn’t get to from Ohio, however, I just bought the two shirts I have been wishing for. WooHoo! Love your clothes. It’s almost all I have in my closet. Yippee, can you tell I’m happy about this? Thanks for opening your outlet store in Cotati too. I think you will get a lot more feedback from us in the store. Thanks!" E.G., Youngstown, OH, April 2009

"So thrilled to have a store again. I am a loyal, long time customer and SOOOOO happy you're here again! The last time I was in town, I pulled up to the OLD store front and was devastated when the store was no longer there." G.B., Rosemead, CA, April 2009

"I am so happily flabbergasted! You could go into the back of your closet, find a dust bunny and throw it at me and I would be flat on my butt! I am so pleased that all the t-shirts that I have seen in the latest summer catalog cover up the flabby triceps. Way to go! I am so pleased. You guys make me very darn happy!" K.H., Golden, MO, April 2009

"I love your clothes, they are well made and aren't all old lady styles. thank you, thank you, thank you!" J.S., Seven Fields, PA, April 2009

"I love your catalog! I think about how I hunted clothes to fit many years ago, and it was useless. The young women of today are so lucky to have your clothing to chose from. Thank you!" E.F., Florence, AL, April 2009

"You guys are awesome! Love to see real women in your catalogs! Nice to see women in plus size catalogs which are really plus size. You are awesome!" S.R., Pittsburg, PA, April 2009

"The customer service at MIB is excellent -- everyone I've spoken with or written to is professional, curteous, and takes care of orders asap." K.E., San Francisco, CA, April 2009

"I love your Dawna Dress! I love the feel of it and the flow of the dress. I hope you continue with styles and fabrics like this in the future." V.B., Crossville, TN, March 2009

"All I can say is thank you for always being great. I was happy to hear your store is open again. I plan to visit later on this year. I will drive at least 100 miles extra just to visit it, but with much joy to do so. You have made it so large and extra large women can dress with class and style everyday. I must say, I still have some of the very first things I ever bought from you and I enjoy them just as much as the day I got them." M.O., Escondido, CA, February 2009

"I’ve been shopping with MiB for some years now and wanted to tell you how delighted I’ve been with my purchases. Thanks so much for your care in offering clothing that’s stylish and flattering to larger ladies." F.J., Alameda, CA, February 2009

"I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful service. Every time I’ve had a question or a problem, your customer service department has been FANTASTIC in helping me solve it, in one case calling me at home to help me figure out a portion of the website that was unclear to me, and in another retroactively applying a promotional code to one of my orders when I entered it in the wrong place. I am blown away that every time I’ve written you with a question, I’ve gotten a reply that very same day. I’ve never shopped anywhere so responsive and friendly. Not only are your clothes wonderful, your staff is too! " E.C., La Grange Park, IL, February 2009

"Wow! What a wonderful and generous surprise! Thank you so very much for the lovely items you sent me, which accompanied a gift certificate purchased by my friend. All of the clothing fits beautifully! The underwear is amazing. They are the best I have had in years! You now have a new customer! I also plan to give my sister a pair because she too has sought for a good fitting style of underwear for a long time. I’m sure she will love them as well. Your note stated that hopefully the clothing would “bring a smile to me.” I have been smiling ever since I opened the boxes!" R.B-A., Wyncote, PA, February 2009

"I'm really glad to be back with MIB - I'm still wearing some of the clothes that I bought from you 10 years ago!" R.C., Boise, ID, January 2009

"Want to congratulate all of you in Customer Service. All of the girls there are so nice. I talked to Shelly and she was as nice as Cena. Cena was as nice as Aileen. Just love you all!" A.S., Dallas, TX, January 2009

"I really appreciate the multi-cultural diversity of the catalog models. It was very refreshing to see. It drew my attention to the catalog to purchase." J.T., Houston, TX January, 2009

"Great choices. User friendly site." K.B., Australia November, 2008

"You have a very nice web store and I will be doing business with you a lot." E.H., Gulfport, MS November, 2008

"Please, please, please don't ever stop making the wide leg pants you offer....they are a life saver for me....Love your stuff!!!" J.S., Ocoee, FL October, 2008

"Thanks again for your wide leg Venus pants. These are my favorite pants. They look polished, and are comfortable. Easy care. I must have a gazillion pairs in at least 3 colors and 2 sizes. Great business color. Professional! Flattering on those of us who can not wear black as easily too. Flattering too, for those of us heavy on the bottom. Navy seems to be one of the “in” colors this year too along with charcoal grey." N.A., El Granada, CA October, 2008

"I took advantage of the free shipping offer and just received my order. This was just one of many orders I have placed over the last 3 years. I LOVE the clothes and the quick service. I never feel trapped inside these clothes. I like comfortable, generous-fitting clothes that cover everything!! Thank you so much for all you do to help plus sizes. Keep up the good work. I'm hoping to take a road trip someday and visit your new showroom. It would be about a 13 hour drive from where I live in WA state, but I have a great husband who would love to share the driving with me. Thank you, Loretta,(a nutritional overachiever.)" September 2008

"Thank you for correcting my name on my order. I wanted to say a couple of things about Making It Big. I have to say it is nice to have such a variety of clothing, in such nice fabrics and styles, for a woman of my size. I have been ordering from Making It Big for probably ten years or so now. I do want to express some frustration though over the sizing of garments, and how they seem to change from year to year. I ordered a shirt that I bought in the same style and size last Fall, but now is way too large, and I (unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how one views things) have not changed my shape. As well the styles are all so (too) long. A couple of years ago you used to offer a petite length, do you have plans to do this again? Thank you for giving me a place to share my comments, and for providing beautiful clothing. Have a nice day. Sincerely, Christie" September 15, 2008

"These are perfect fit and drape pants for anyone with larger thighs, calves or hips. They will not pull at the knee when you sit. They give a straight leg line, which is flattering to anyone who is bottom heavy and balances out hour glass figures too. The "straight" shape of the MIG Wide-leg is a professional look for most larger, bottom heavy figure types. Same great Venus fabric and colors. The fabric can be paired with formal or dressy tops or jackets and always looks polished. I confess I dry clean and press my work Venus, and wash my play Venus pieces. It works either way!" September 2008.

"Dear staff at MIB, I am a retired college professor of physical education and I applaud your article. We know so much more about the benefits of any exercise to all individuals and your premise is encouraging and correct. We are not so quick to judge people's health and I am certainly not the same size and shape I once was and I still enjoy walking, stretching and swimming. Thanks for encouraging all women to stay active." P.K., September 2008

"Dear MIB - I just had a hysterectomy, and when I got home from the hospital I realized I did not have the right kind of underwear to accommodate my surgical incision. I "rush" ordered some Cotton Boxer Briefs, and they are PERFECT - comfy cotton underwear, elastic at the waist, and not too tight over my stitches. Thank you for making this product - I plan to keep wearing these briefs forever!" H.V., MA, August, 2008

"Received my order today...and I'm doing the happy dance around my house! Thank you and bravo for understanding that just because I have long legs doesn't mean I want the waistband of my pants up around my armpits." August 2008

"Thank you for offering choices for those of us who lived through the '70s once and laugh at things labeled "flares" or "boot cut." August 2008

"I'm a happy camper and about to order some more stuff." J.B., Seattle, WA August, 2008

"Dear Making It Big, I recently received the Annalisa blouse from your fall catalog. It is the most beautiful blouse I have ever seen and extremely well-made. The embroidery is exquisite! I have been looking for a dressy white blouse for years. I finally found what I have been searching for! My husband commented that he believes it is the most beautiful item of clothing I have purchased in years. That's quite a compliment. I cannot wait for cooler weather so that I can wear the blouse. The blouse was on backorder and arrived even earlier than I expected. It was definitely worth the wait!" August 2008

"I am 5' 11" tall and wear a 1X in most fashions. The size E is a perfect fit. I especially appreciate the longer overall length of the blouse and the extra length in the long sleeves as I typically have a problem with both of those issues. It is appropriately oversized in all the right areas, but not so much that I look like I am six months pregnant. I will definitely be ordering from your catalog in the future. Thank you for the beautiful clothes and for such attention to detail. We all love to look pretty and feel good about what we are wearing. I know that I will receive many, many compliments. Thank you again. An extremely satisfied customer" K.L., Minooka, IL August,2008

"I just received my latest order and wanted to thank you for tailoring the clothes I picked just for me! Well, at least it seems that way. Everything I have ordered lately from MiB fits perfectly. I especially appreciate that all your tops are longer so they cover the belly area and that many of your tops have 3/4 sleeves to fit my short arms rather than long sleeves that end beyond my fingertips. Thank you for having stylish clothes for supersize women who are totally ignored by other plus size clothing retailers. I don't know what I'd do without you! You folks are a godsend!" K.G., Milwaukee, WI August, 2008

"Your catalog was just received. It's remarkable. Some of your models look like me, and it gives an impression of what your items would look like on me. Thank you at last. Lane Bryant, who was supposed to be for big women, never showed what a big woman could really look like. Your big women clothes are gorgeous. The woman modeling A on page 16 is gorgeous. The woman modeling A on page 30 is gorgeous. They all are! I cannot afford your items, but will, nevertheless, look forward to your catalogs with joy so I can see how I could look. Thank you so much." D.B., July, 2008

"I just received my first mib catalogue and I want to congratulate you on your choice of beautiful and ethnically diverse models. They are lovely. Thank you." B.M., July, 2008

"Great Selections on your website!!!" S.L., Canada July, 2008

"I've browsed lots of US sites and found fantastic clothing, but they don't ship o/seas. It's great to see that you do. Look forward to browsing in the future." G.H., Australia July, 2008

"I ordered the one button jacket that came in a black and white print and a linen jacket. These are my first purchases from MIB. WOW! The one button jacket is fabulous! Please make it in other fabrics and colors! (The linen jacket is also good.)" P.M., Los Angeles, CA July, 2008

"LOVE your clothes. When I'm rich and famous I'll buy the whole catalog." L.A., TN July, 2008

"I was just reading stories of poor customer service on MSN. It inspired me to email you--my experience with your customer service has been outstanding!...every person I spoke with at MIB was kind, helpful and sympathetic....I have been very impressed with the high standard of customer service you provided. Thank you very much." P.K., Rockford, IL June, 2008

"The purple print bathing suit I just got from you on sale looks great! I was buying it just to have anything at all, and it actually looks decent! – wow!" K.L., CA June, 2008

"The Akiko Tank Top is my favorite top to wear! Kudos to all of you! K.W., Dryden, NY June, 2008

"I absolutely LOVES your clothes!" C.D., Zion, IL June, 2008

"I just received my catalog and was very happy to see that you use plus size models. It is much easier to get an idea about what I will look like based on one of you models rather than a model that wears a size 12." K.M, Pittsfield, MA May, 2008

"I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you for using models who go along with large sizes. Everyplace else I look the models are thin and I can't even imagine how the clothes would look on a large women. Thank you very much. I love to see your large-size models. I can get a better idea on what the clothes will look like. Also the clothes are better suited for large women---more modest in general." M.L., May, 2008

"Amazing....I cannot believe it shipped that fast. Very impressed." M.M., North Babylon, NY May, 2008

"I absolutely love the slinkly pants...the drape, the fabric and the color are so rich looking. Please offer more pants in this fabric. I called to get the jacket that matches. I must have this complete suit. Thanks for dressing me well all these years." C.E. Riner, VA May, 2008

"Thank You. Shipping was amazingly fast. I got these yesterday!" C.D. Clarendon Hills, IL May, 2008

"I received the shirt yesterday, and it is perfect! (as all of MIB clothes are)." L.T., Bakersfield, CA April, 2008

"Thank you so much for ... well, just being there and having all these great clothes! I just got the ribbed tank top I ordered a few weeks ago, and I love it so much I had to order a whole bunch of them in all the colors you have! I can't tell you how good it feels to actually FIT in the clothes :)" D.K., Edberg, Canada April, 2008

"I love your clothing line, your wonderful models gave me the courage to wear a bathing suit last year for the first time in over 20 years. I wear you blouses on a daily basis and I have never been more comfortable. My favorite now is the short sleeved oversized blouse, I have it in a dozen colors. I toss them into the washer (cold water), dryer and its ready to wear." B.C., West Berlin, NJ April, 2008

"I have only tried on one shirt and am washing them but I wanted to tell you how thrilled I am with the speed they arrived even through customs, and the quality of the product. Nicely packaged.I will be ordering more. Also what a time saver for people to not have to drive to a store in sometimes vain hope of finding something that fits." V.R., B.C. Canada April, 2008

"I recently bought a Cherry Blossom Top. Not only is it the most comfortable item of clothing I have, it has garnered more compliments than anything I've ever worn." P.K., Rockford, IL April, 2008
