Why Paint the Town Red... why not!

Paint the Town Red is the brainchild of owner Diane McKenzie. “The name epitomises the essence of the store itself and what I offer the wonderful women who visit. To me, “Paint the Town Red” is all about getting out amongst it, letting your hair down and enjoying yourself… making the most of every occasion and, in fact, making an occasion out of every moment!“

“Here at Paint the Town Red, we encourage women to look and feel great every day. Get over the fact that your body may no longer look like a nubile teenager, acknowledge that you have already lived a few years, and celebrate that there are plenty more years to enjoy – so what are you waiting for? Get on with life and enjoy the ride!”

So what if you feel you don't have model arms, legs and a flat tummy… these can easily be disguised so that you emphasise your best areas. Many of us get hung up on certain aspects of our bodies, and we tend to try and hide ourselves away. However body image is really about what’s in your head, rather than what’s on your hips. It’s not about having the perfect body – very few do – it’s about being happy about, and proud of, what you have.

Being a plus sized woman myself, I know only too well how traumatic it can be for a larger woman to buy clothes. I have personally suffered the humiliation and embarrassment of trying to find clothes that not only fit, but which make me feel good. I have met assistants who have made my search even more difficult with their withering glances and dismissive body language.

I confess to purchasing clothes without trying them on, simply to avoid having to deal with disinterested staff. Consequently I have invested considerable hard earned dollars on clothes that have never seen the light of day.

Paint the Town Red creates an environment where women are encouraged to have fun while trying on styles and colours that suit their body shape & complexion, but which may be a little different to their usual wardrobe choices. We will help you find the perfect solution to all your wardrobe problems, all while ensuring you look and feel fabulous. Our Promise to you...

• Being able to shop in a dedicated large size store is ideal!
• Having a helpful interested and empathetic sales person is absolute bliss!
• Building a relationship with someone who can advise you truthfully about your wardrobe is heaven!
