Plus Size Raver: How It Started

It truly began in 2018.

I was walking away from a toxic situation and choosing myself for the first time in a long time. Instead of shrinking, I built. Instead of spiraling, I created.

At the time, finding rave clothes was difficult.

I was a new raver, and there weren’t many size inclusive options. That in itself was discouraging. Creating ravewear became something I felt I could take control of. I wanted everyone, no matter their size, gender, or race, to feel like they had options for comfy ravewear.

From endless nights of making rave bras to creating graphic tees, I kept finding new ways to add to the rave experience.

I’ve come a long way. It makes me feel so proud of that girl who was discouraged because she couldn’t find clothes in her size.

I poured that energy into HDBNGR RVWR.

At first, it was rooted heavily in dubstep — aggressive, loud, unapologetic. The kind of energy that shakes the ground and clears the air. But it quickly became more than just a genre-driven brand.

It became transformation.

I met incredible people. I grew alongside this community. I witnessed devastating losses and powerful wins. Through it all, HDBNGR RVWR evolved, not just as a brand, but as proof that you can rebuild yourself on your own terms.

This has never just been about clothes.

It’s about reclaiming your power and speaking up.
It’s about taking up space without apology.
It’s about creating the look instead of waiting to be chosen.
