JCPenney is officially launching its new collaboration, Jamey Perry for JCPenney, to demonstrate the brand's dedication to prioritizing stylish, inclusive products. The collection was created by disabled writer and athlete Jamey Perry, who contributed her unique perspective to the garment design process. Product features include soft fabrics, extending back rises, shortening sleeves, and waistband loops.
"Creating this line with JCPenney has been a dream come true," said Perry. "Although I’m new to the design world, the JCPenney team understood that my lived experience lent a unique perspective when creating this collection. Women like me want to look great and feel great, and we also need clothes that fit our lives. JCPenney gets that and the result is incredible."
The collection comes in sizes XS to XXL.
