Sydney's Closet seen on Fox News St. Louis

Did you see Sydney's Closet featured today on KTVI Channel 2, the local Fox News station in St. Louis? Reporter Margie Ellisor did a great job interviewing Phyllis Brasch Librach, president and founder of Sydney's Closet. She laughed when Phyllis, a former newspaper reporter, explained she "traded deadlines for hemlines" to launch the company dedicated to plus size dresses for special occasions.

"I love that line" said Margie. She also loved all the glam dresses. "Wow, these are gorgeous!", said Margie as images of the formal dresses flashed on the tv screen. Of course the big question of the day was how did Phyllis Smith, a Hollywood actress, wind up wearing a Sydney's Closet evening dress on the red carpet at the Sunday's Emmy Awards.

A big thanks from the entire Fashion Team to Steve who posts this generous and flattering fan mail online after he learns Phyllis Smith gets seen in a Sydney's Closet formal dress on the red carpet at the 61st Emmy Awards:

"My daughter found that website and those people couldn’t have been nicer. Real empathy for my daughter’s size and the selection was fantastic. Big women should run, not walk, to Sydney’s Closet".

Homecoming 2009 isn't a memory yet and Halloween hasn't happened.

But the hunt for the perfect Prom 2010 dress is on. Girls are already calling from as far away as Alabama asking what's available in their favorite colors and styles.
