Empowered with an innate talent of fashion design, Veronica Lipscomb
is making her dream a reality. With encouragement from friends, she
began to design her own clothes and became a stylist catering to a
plus-size clientele. Many women would approach her about where she
purchased her clothing. Once it was discovered she was the designer,
they would request the same outfit for themselves. Through TRU DIVA,
Veronica offers an alternative style to a limited market of fashion
conscious clothing for plus size women.
