Apparently winning an Emmy and being in one of the funniest movies of the year hasn’t solved comedienne Melissa McCarthy’s clothing woes. So, in order to solve the problem of not being able to find great plus-size fashions, McCarthy’s taking things into her own hands and starting a new clothing company. “Trying to find stuff that’s still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible,” she said. “It’s either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle.” She’s already started designing garments — like the purple number she wore to this year’s Emmys. McCarthy designed the dress after trying on “nine million dresses with taffeta or shiny bows,” and being dissatisfied with her options. Here’s to her knocking this one out of the park, too.
