MiB - Wholesale Opportunities
We are considering the possibility of offering wholesale pricing to retailers at some point in the future.
With the growing market for attractive Plus Size apparel, offering your customers designer fashions from Making it Big, inc. could be the perfect fit for your growing women's clothing business.
Unlike many other niche markets, demand for plus size clothing is growing at a phenomenal rate and the opportunity exists for increased sales for your retail store if you meet this need.
Not only that, but the demand for apparel produced using green and sustainable methods is increasing as well. More and more consumers are going "Green" and making conscious choices to only purchase apparel that meets their high standards for eco-friendly products.
If you are interested in possible wholesale options with us in the future, please email us at wholesale@makingitbig.com. Please provide your name, address, phone # of your brick and mortar retail store and website if you have one.
Why MiB Collection is a Great Choice for your Store
Fashion Forward Designs
Staying up with current fashion trends is our specialty at Making it Big.
Our in-house designers create plus size fashions that are not only designed specifically for a plus size woman's figure, they look as good as they feel. Our design staff is always looking for what's new while continuing to provide MiB Collection customers with classic styling for their wardrobe basics. Because of this, Making it Big, inc. has continued to grow over the years and now has a loyal following around the world.
We Use Earth-Friendly Dyes
MiB uses only fiber reactive dyes for the dyeing process of every garment dyed product in our line. Fiber reactive dyes are the best dyes to use when dyeing cotton and other cellulose fibers. They are much brighter and longer lasting than easier-to-use all-purpose dyes and although challenging to work with and more expensive, they give the finest results.
About Our Fabric Choices
We use 100% Cotton, Linen, Wool, Silk, and other Natural Fiber Blends for most of our clothing styles, which not only help preserve the environment, but are also a great choice for comfort and durability.
MiB's Green Habits
*Even though it is more costly, we print our catalog on paper from a sustainable forest, which makes no chemical impact on the environment and has a smaller carbon footprint than even recycled paper. Read more about SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) at www.sfiprogram.org.
*We use fiber reactive dyes because they are less toxic and carcinogenic to the environment as well as providing colorfastness and fade resistance that make them an excellent choice for clothing.
*We host clothing swaps to encourage clothing recycling as well as donating any surplus fabric to local schools, and damaged or surplus products to local non-profit organizations.
*To save paper, we are more selective in our catalog mailings, sending only to our customers who still really want to receive the paper catalog.
*We are proponents of Green Business habits, encouraging our employees to "work green" by recycling, using recyclable products and reducing unnecessary waste while participating in our office recycling program.

About MiB Collection by Making it Big, inc.
For over 25 years, Making it Big, inc. has provided its loyal customers with a line of fashionable high quality Plus Size clothing that fits great and lasts and lasts. Displaying a unique understanding of the fashion needs of Plus and Super Plus Size women, MiB offers a wide selection of Plus Size fashion styles.
MiB covers the essentials from the much loved tried and true “MiB Basics”, Venus professional line, t-shirts to relaxed fit jeans, plus many other necessities for the Plus Size woman’s wardrobe. MiB offers sizing designed specifically for “real” Plus Size women equivalent to traditional sizes 2X to 8X or 22W to 48W. In an industry that considers a size 10 or 12 “Plus Size” and chooses smaller models even when offering larger sizes, MiB is celebrated by Plus Size women.
MiB sees the importance for Plus Size women to have fun opportunities, which women of smaller size frequently have an opportunity to experience. In addition, MiB believes in the importance of helping local women during these challenging economic times. MiB hopes you too can join their efforts to help disadvantaged Plus Size women during future events. For further information please contact mib@makingitbig.com.
