In addition to starring in movies and popping up on TV, Melissa is also a clothing designer.
The Gilmore Girls star was tired of not having fashion available to her that was made for curvier women. So in 2015, she decided to be in charge of her closet by creating items for women of a wide range of sizes.
'I could not find, with consistency, something that felt young and modern and easy to wear,' McCarthy told Fast Company in an interview.
'And then I started thinking, Why don’t I make the closet?'

She created a collection of items inspired by classic and trendy looks to fit women who wear sizes 4-28.
No matter what your style is or size, you can shop items on her official website as well as retailers including Nordstrom, Lane Bryant, Macy's and Lord & Taylor.
Her collection includes a variety of patterns like animal prints, florals and polka dots. What makes her collection different is that her pieces are structured to give a woman a more flattering shape by using darts, belts and empire waists.

Her items are also affordable, prices range from $54 to $169.
'Women do not stop at a magical size 10 or 12, and I thought, Why would clothes?' McCarthy said. 'I have been every size under the rainbow, but my style never changed.'
McCarthy has been very passionate about creating items that women could wear anywhere: the office, happy hour or to run errands around town.
