Story of Us

Shegul was established in 2014 by Aysegul Ilter to address the long-standing question that distinctive, modern, plus size women everywhere had been asking, “Why are there no stylish designs, in quality fabrics, created specifically for our body type?” 

Shegul was founded on the principle of thoughtful craftsmanship. The designs are created specifically for the curvier woman, with an eye for finer fabrics and materials; with emphasis on longevity, through superior construction techniques and exceptional fit. 

Shegul designs knock down stereotypes and empower women, making them feel confident and look beautiful. Our passion is to make the curvy woman look modern, sophisticated, elegant and stylish. 

The collections are carefully considered and curated to deliver an unexpected fusion of cultures and styles in silhouettes that transcend time and place, each collection is an adventure within itself.
