Her own struggle as a teenager to find cool fashion that actually fit, led her on a crusade for size inclusivity – and in 2006 she launched her own plus size fashion label, Embody Women. In our chat, Natalie shares the surprising stats of the plus size fashion market, her trust policy with returns and the journey she’s taken to acquisition. Missed opportunity “The growth within the high fashion element has just disappeared. It’s quite bizarre. So we have women that are more in tune with their bodies. They have the money to spend in this demographic. Yet, you still today cannot open up an Elle or a Vogue or any of our magazines here in Australia and just see even one page dedicated to dressing over a size 16. So the current ABS data is the average woman is a size 16 to 18. So 67% of women in Australia are regarded as plus size. And only 6.3% of retailers sell plus size. Isn’t that mind boggling? And we’ve had a 4.8% growth year on year since 2017 in the marketplace. There’s a lot of money that’s just floating out there, not being able to spend in our fashion categories. It’s such a missed opportunity for Australian brands, Australian fashion, our growth.” Wednesday 13th December 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6eba8f2af6d508e34a2588/6a3df121-ac26-4b3a-bb46-de882704d3fd/C8F047A2-673F-4BDD-B381-884F69CB14C0.PNG Press - Introducing Natalie Wakeling, a dynamic entrepreneur and a true inspiration for aspiring Ausmumpreneurs everywhere.

Gone are the days when a curvy woman would settle for what was an afterthought of bad florals cut into a shapeless sack. The more coverage the better, as apparently anyone over a size 14 doesn’t want to show their skin or look fashionable.
