About Carla Kiley

Hi, I’m Carla Kiley

I’m a mom to my joyful toddler daughter and another one on the way, a passionate creator, and the founder of the Carla Kiley Collection—a size-inclusive clothing line designed to empower every body to cultivate confidence.
I believe the clothes we wear have the power to transform how we feel, how we move through the world, and how present we are with the people we love.

My Journey

Like many, I spent years caught up in low self-esteem, trying to force myself into clothes and size charts that didn’t reflect me. I battled with diet culture and a disconnected relationship with food. At a certain point I chose to ditch all of that and turn inward: I prioritized my mental health, tuned in to what makes me feel strong and alive, and discovered the truth of what it feels like to wear clothing that fits—and that I love.
That shift in self-regard rippled through every part of my life: relationships, work, motherhood, and fashion.

Why I Created This Brand

With the Carla Kiley Collection, I set out to build more than just dresses. I wanted to create an experience—a wardrobe of clothes that wrap around you in comfort, honor your curves, and reflect your confidence. From XS to 5X, free shipping and returns, and styling that celebrates plus-size bodies—this line is for you if you’re done squeezing in and ready to show up fully.
My mission: to help you feel seen, celebrated, and stylish. Because when you feel good in what you’re wearing, everything else can follow.

A Bit About Life Outside the Studio

When I’m not designing dresses or creating content, you’ll find me:

  • Playing baby dolls with my daughter, Paige

  • Trying new restaurants with my husband, Max

  • Planning my next party (my husband and I both love to host!) 

  • Attempting to grow a vegetable garden + perfect my sourdough recipe

  • Needlepointing with a good show in the background

Join Me

I believe confidence isn’t something you find—it’s something you wear. And I’d love for you to wear it with us.
Whether you’re browsing the collection or just following along on Instagram or TikTok @carlaekiley, you're part of a movement to reshape how we experience fashion—on our own terms, bodies, and timelines.

Thank you for being here, for choosing to show up, and for cultivating confidence every day.
