About

Closing the size gap

Glamorise is a plus-size bra and sports bra brand designing comfortable, supportive bras for curvy women in more sizes than any other company (130+ sizes). Glamorise believes women of all shapes and cup sizes deserve a bra that doesn't just fit well enough, but fits to a T — or in this case, an B to a K — without digging, slipping, pulling or poking. Glamorise designs and perfects bra styles at its New York City sewing studio using fit model feedback, rigorous testing, correcting and refitting until every size fits as it should.

Founding Story

Glamorise Foundations, Inc. established its design studio and business office in Manhattan in 1921, where it remains today. From its inception, the company made products exclusively designed for curvy women, closing the size inclusivity gap and making it the oldest privately held plus-size bra company in the United States.

The style of undergarments may have transformed significantly from when Glamorise opened its doors more than 100 years ago, but the company's mission of size inclusivity and designing for the perfect curvy fit has not waivered.

Jon has been part of the management team at Glamorise during both its 75th and 100th anniversaries but has actually been involved with the company for most of his life. As a young teen he interned in Glamorise’s design department cutting patterns and continued to work in the design department while still in high school.

Formally educated at Cornell University and Dartmouth College, Jon worked at Procter & Gamble in brand management and at Booz-Allen as a consultant focused on retail growth strategies. Jon joined Glamorise in 1990 as part of the management team and has been CEO for almost two decades.

Rita started in the intimate apparel industry at Playtex in 1977 and worked there while going to college for a BSc in Computer Science. At Playtex, Rita learned all aspects of intimate apparel including cutting, molding, pattern making, sewing specs, as well as the grading and fitting processes. Rita moved on to Bali in 1988 where her technical knowledge grew. Rita joined the Glamorise family in 1997 as a Pattern Grader and advanced to Director of Technical Design soon thereafter.

Now as VP of Product Development, Rita is involved from the initial concept to the final product, making sure every garment lives up to our high standards and the expectations of our customers. Each advancement in Rita’s career has inspired her to take on more responsibilities and she is always looking for new challenges.
