Melissa McCarthy’s New Plus-Size Clothing Line Is fantastic

‘It’s always what I thought I would do, ‘ she explained. “I was going to finish at FIT and he made me do stand-up on the second night”, she said.

Though McCarthy is an Emmy-winning actress and talented physical comedian, she’s always had an eye for fashion.

McCarthy’s line will also include denim. But, recently, she added a whole other career to her resume: fashion designer.

The Spy actress, who was honored with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May, is also set to appear alongside Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones in the highly anticipated reboot of “Ghostbusters”.

Detailing that her collection will be launched in September, McCarthy said that she started this line because she wanted to build a better closet for herself, calling it a selfish venture.

McCarthy’s collection (which will be available at Lane Bryant and Macy’s, plus on HSN and her website) ranges from sizes 4 to 28 and contains fun prints (like the animal-print pieces she’s already worn on the red carpet), asymmetrical hemlines and flattering dress silhouettes.

What do you think of her pieces? “It’s not too sweet”. Hallelujah!” she said. “Do you know how many fights I’ve had about sleeves?

Well, in what should have been a joyous moment for McCarthy to celebrate her latest achievement by offering more high-end clothing to curvy women, obviously the fat-shaming army of Reddit trolls had to burst through the door to remind us that nothing and no one- not even someone as charming, beautiful, and hilarious as McCarthy-can be spared from the wrath of the Internet. ‘I put pockets in everything! “There are little jeans that are super stretchy and they come all the way up, because I just do not need to see anyone’s muffin top, and I do not need to see anyone bend over and be able to tell what color underwear they’re wearing anymore. I want pockets inside my pockets”.

I want pockets in my dresses.
