My dresses were lovely and received a lot of compliments. The corset dresses fit perfectly with my shape, and the size was spot on.

Afropenda – Faith. Culture. Affirmation. Loungewear BY Us, FOR Us.Afropenda is a Black woman-owned loungewear brand creating comfortable, stylish clothing designed specifically for Black women aged 45 and up. Founded in 2020 by Lena—a size 16 former Lane Bryant marketing professional—Afropenda was born from a simple frustration: Why couldn't she find loungewear that fit her curves, honored her culture, AND expressed her faith? Instead of waiting for someone else to figure it out, she built it herself.Every piece at Afropenda is crafted around three pillars: Faith (wearable scripture that grounds you in truth), Culture (designs that celebrate who we are, unapologetically), and Affirmation (words that remind you of your worth when the world forgets). This isn't just clothing—it's a statement. It's armor. It's finally being SEEN.Our signature hoodie dresses combine the comfort of your favorite hoodie with the coverage and femininity of a dress. Made from premium scuba fabric that's soft, durable, and wrinkle-resistant, each piece features thoughtful details like oversized hoods designed to accommodate natural hair and protective styles. Available in sizes XS through 5XL, our sizing is true to fit—no guessing, no surprises, no "plus-friendly" options that were clearly an afterthought.Afropenda serves women who've spent decades showing up for everyone else and are finally ready to show up for themselves. Women with curves who refuse to choose between comfortable and cute. Women who want their faith visible, their culture celebrated, and their bodies honored—all at the same time.This brand wasn't created in a corporate boardroom. It was built by a Black woman who understands your body because she lives in one just like it. Who knows the frustration of hoods too small for your hair. Who experienced firsthand what it feels like to walk into stores and feel invisible.Whether you're lounging at home, running errands, meeting friends for brunch, or simply wanting to feel wrapp

First of all, the dresses are beautiful and so comfortable. Secondly, I truly appreciated all the "check ins". I felt they cared about me and cared about making sure my experience was a pleasant one, and it was.

I needed a sundress for a small family wedding on very short notice. I received periodic messages regarding the progress of my order. My dress was delivered in time for me to wear to the reception where it received lots of compliments.

First of all, I love my new dresses! They fit perfect and look as good if not better than the pix! Secondly, the company was in constant contact keeping me up to date with shipping. I'm looking forward to my next lovely "buy"!

I received two dresses. They are beautiful and fit just right. In the future, I may order more.
Nita
They kept in contact with me through the whole process, which after ordering from some other companies (who didn’t 🤬), is very important to me. The dresses are beautiful well made And fit perfectly 😄❤️. Even my husband was impressed! Definitely worth the price! Bought four, but two more will be purchased very soon!

First, I love the dresses. The cut, the fit, and the prints are fabulous. My first order was made from milk silk, which was not the right material for hot, humid Hawaii. When I let them know, they immediately fixed it and told me to keep the dresses made from milk silk. I will be sending them back. I want small businesses to survive, and they can sell these dresses since they weren't worn.
