Universal Standard sizes range from 10 to 28 (US) and the three-piece Tria collection is available now and comprises of a sweater dress, a shirt dress and overalls. Their work with Brooks is the second collaboration in their ongoing Tria series which prompts women to design three pieces that they always wished they had in their closet but could never find.

“We worked closely with Danielle Brooks to design the three pieces in the collection, which reflect both our established downtown, yet classic, aesthetic, and Danielle’s strong personal style. The Orange is the New Black star is an outspoken advocate for plus size women, and consistently pushes for better representation for the 67% in mainstream media.’
