Illusion of Fit

Gigi Wrap

Gayla Bentley
The inspiration for a line of great-fitting (and looking) coordinates came in 2001 when Gayla Bentley went looking for elegant clothes for her curvy figure that would also travel well. Russell Bentley, Gayla's husband who co-founded the company, says "she's her own best customer."

This dedication to bring excitement to the plus size market has carried over into missy sizes as well; now the company carries sizes 2-28.

Instead of baggy, shapeless clothing to hide in, Gayla looks for what she calls "an illusion of fit." This could be in the versatile Gigi wrap (pictured), sashes or obis.
