HIGHLAND PARK, CA – June 20, 2025 – If you know plus size fashion, you know The Plus Bus Boutique—and this year, they’re celebrating ten fabulous years of shaking up the style scene. Can you believe it’s been a whole decade?! And in even bigger news: longtime co-owner and community queen Marcy Guevara-Prete is now the sole owner of the beloved boutique.
From its roots in community pop-ups to its bold presence on York Boulevard, The Plus Bus has been a staple in the LA plus size fashion space for years—and Marcy’s ready to take it even higher.
“It takes so much heart and hustle,” she says. “But every single day is worth it when I see you all looking and feeling amazing.”
And let’s talk real life. 2025 has been a ride—from the devastating fires earlier this year to ongoing challenges that come with running a small, brick-and-mortar boutique. Especially one built for fat joy in an era when Ozempic headlines won’t quit. But even through all that, The Plus Bus kept showing up for its people. During the fires, the team acted fast, finding ways to support impacted neighbors and reinforcing what we already knew: this isn’t just a store, it’s a community anchor.
At The Curvy Fashionista, we’ve long admired how The Plus Bus blends style with soul—creating a space where plus size folks feel seen, celebrated, and styled with love. Now more than ever, indie shops like this need support from the community they serve.
“We want every single plus size person in LA to know we’re here, we get it, and we’re ready to help you find clothes that make you feel incredible,” says Marcy.
And of course, a milestone like this deserves a celebration.
