Hi, I'm Lea!

Welcome to the World of Classy Fabulous Daydreams!

I've been obsessed with fashion for as long as I can remember! My grandmother was the ultimate classy style icon and my main fashion inspiration. Her incredibly chic outfits, combined with my love of Old Hollywood glamour, have heavily influenced my personal style & aesthetic.

As a small child, my mom would dress me in the cutest little dresses with bright floral prints, puff sleeves and full skirts. I still love all these design details and incorporate them in my dresses. As I grew older, I would spend hours playing dress-up in my mom's prom dresses, wedding dress and any of the other incredible garments that she had saved.

Fashion was this amazing, fanciful world but as I grew up and my body developed, I came to the shocking realization that as much as I loved fashion - fashion didn't seem to love me back.

Years spent working in stores and later as a corporate fashion designer, I have tried on thousands of garments! Every time, I would be so hopeful but was continually disappointed that nothing ever fit my DD+ bust size.

This led to years of personal struggle with body issues. I didn't understand why nothing ever fit correctly on my body. I grew increasingly critical of my own body, blaming myself as the reason garments didn't fit.

When I became a fashion designer, I finally discovered the truth! The actual reason nothing fit was because it was never created to fit in the first place!

I remember getting chills when I realized this truth.

All those years of hating my body, all that energy wasted having negative feelings about my body.

My experience in retail had already shown me that I wasn't alone in my struggle.

Classy Fabulous Daydreams is my dreamy love story that I dedicate to all the other women who have struggled to fit their fuller bust into clothing.
