Sizing
Finding the perfect size can be hard so we have made this page specially for you. At the moment, we don't have a physical store but we made sure that you can figure out your size yourself. If you still have questions, feel free to contact us with your measurements and we will help you.
We've developed our own size range. This means that our unique fit might be different than the size you would usually pick.
The sizing has been tested and developed on two plus-size bodies with two different body types. An apple figure and a pear figure, both generally wearing a size 50/52 EU (the XL on this website).
The ''apple'' type body has a 132cm chest, a 120cm waist and 133cm hips.
The ''pear'' type body has a 122cm chest, a 105cm waist and 140cm hips.
Normally, people with different body types couldn't wear the same items because of the fabric being too wide or too tight.We made sure to tackle as many of these issues as we could. Every piece is made of stretchy fabric. The fabric blend is 88% polyester and 12 % elastic. So this means we didn’t connected one convection size to our sizes, but two. The pieces are designed in such a way that it doesn’t matter where your fat distribution is, the fabric will fill and stretch in the right places.
With every item on the website comes additional information. Here you'll find the measurements of the models and the size they’re wearing. This will help you find your size. The "Good to know" will tell you what the fit of the item does, so this will also help you get an idea of what it'll do on your body.
We've made the sizes as true as possible to the convection sizes you see below. But we also know that you probably have a different size in different stores, so let's make this as clear as possible.
To help you pick the right size, we have made a size overview!
Do you swing between a wide range of sizes going from 38-44 EU we recommend size S. Are you most of the time the last size available in "general" stores, pick M or L. If you normally wear a size 48/50 EU we recommend size XL. Are you the last size available in "plus size" stores then XXL is your right pick. Is your size not available in physical stores and that caused you to not know what yours is but you think you're size 60/62, then XXXL is your baby. If you're usually used to buying 6XL/7XL, we recommend XXXXL as the right fit!

Mission
The story
Lovaeij has been founded by Lotte van Eijk who wanted to make a difference in the fashion industry. Growing up fat made her realise that all of the stylish clothing weren't made for her. Shopping wasn't fun but an endless quest to find something that she'd fit. Her grandmother Nel and her mother Marleen teached her how to look good despite of not seeing her own body in/on any shops, billboards or magazines. She graduated from Willem de Kooning Academy in Photography (class of 2018) where she used her Instagram @lovaeij as a key part for her graduation project. The celebration of a fat shell, the celebration of loving ones body, the celebration of being, wrapped in vulnerable imagery.
"A romantic, vulnerable and soft series of a body that was thought to be none of the above. A series consisting of images we are already familiar with, but now molded into another appearance. Where photography is expressed as a romance with oneself. A therapy to reconnect with the reflection seen in the mirror."
She wanted to show that her body is a work of art, and so she continued doing that on instagram, sparking a light within thousands of followers that connected to her message. She wanted to show everyone that a fat body can and should be celebrated. Empowered by her followers and seeing how everyone grew from her art, she started to think about her lifelong dream; A fashion house where everyone fits anything they want.
The plan
Due to COVID, a lot of her modeling work paused. And in the moment of stillness there was clarity. This was the time to begin.
Since the fashion industry only produces clothing that makes sure fat people are hidden, Lotte wanted to do the opposite. She wanted fat people to be seen, she wanted necks to turn, she wanted belly's and booty's out. She wanted it al, but where to start? The past 1,5 years, she worked on creating this dream together with people who believed in this vision. She wanted a brand that represented how she sees the world; Fluid, inclusive, bold, sexy, daring and simply connected to what she stands for. She wanted everyone to feel at home within the brand and her clothing. It's more than a fashion house; it's a home.
The clothing
Since Lotte loves an outfit you can just throw on and be done with she wanted that to appear in her first collection. All her life she had to make so much effort, search every store and alter every piece of clothing to be able to look the way she wanted to look. There was never a piece that translated her insides, she was never able to find clothing that represented how she felt, how she wanted to be seen. So that's just what she was about to make. The right fit, sexy, bold, matching and comfortable.
