Crew in July 2018 for a size-inclusive women’s collection of tops, dresses, skirts and pants in sizes up to 5X. It’s also made a name for itself by collaborating with other brands to advise on inclusive sizing. The apparel company developed its own unique sizing chart “that prioritizes realistic body types” and sells a line of clothing ranging from sizes 00 through 40. I am thrilled to welcome Lauren, who brings a breadth of unique expertise to our team with experience at both the forefront and behind the scenes of plus-size shopping." Universal Standard said it would continue to explore “additional opportunities for sparking change in the industry” beyond this acquisition. "Our acquisition of Henning is the next wave of our vital mission to make fashion more accessible for all people, whether a size 2 or size 32. "Despite current trends suggesting otherwise, the future of fashion is rooted in inclusivity and we are confident that embracing size-inclusivity will continue to be profitable for the business," Veksler said in a statement. Universal Standard CEO Polina Veksler and Lauren Chan have joined forces after developing a long-standing relationship outside of business, with Chan even modeling for some Universal Standard campaigns over the years. Henning’s focus on workwear will contribute to Universal Standard’s fall 2023 collection, which is expected to launch in August. Universal Standard - which is focused on size-inclusivity - said the acquisition marks “the first successful exit of an independent, female-founded plus-size brand.” Henning’s founder, Lauren Chan, now acts as Universal Standard’s head of brand partnerships.

This is why answering the styling survey before they send you a box is so important and why you should provide as much feedback on the clothes you do receive as it can help future boxes be the right fit for your style, body, and budget. Well, sadly that sucks because you still have to pay the $20 styling fee and it unfortunately does not roll over to the next Dia & Co box. Now, let’s say that the box was a total flop and you’re not interested in purchasing any of the items. Also, if there is an item you like but it is the wrong size you can exchange the item with Dia & Co for a new size.
