General Info:
When it comes to fashion, Doretta Johns has been fueled by its allure for more than a decade. Serving as a plus-size fashion stylist, Doretta's eye for coordinating timeless pieces of clothing with complimentary accessories and shoes for various clients has made her the go to person in her hometown of Baltimore, MD. Her expertise is reinforced by being a plus-size woman but also throughout her experiences with clients to whom she searches for new and flattering apparel that speaks to their individual fashion sense.
It was during one of these styling and personal shopping sessions that Doretta encountered a negative situation where she and her client entered a women's clothing boutique and were immediately told by a salesperson that their size was not carried there. Disgruntled and insulted, this ignited the flame for Doretta to further her styling talents coupled with her love for fashion and start an even bigger business venture. It was on that day she knew it was her duty to further her role in the movement for size acceptance by creating a place for women to shop that embraced the fuller woman. With tremendous help and support from her family, Doretta purchased a storefront, transformed it into a fashion wonderland and in June 2011, Couture Queen was born.
