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

I bought the dress in a L and the shirt in a M based on the measurements and they fit great! Unfortunately I am still working and the shirts are great for my work as a PT as they 1) aren't tight on my sport utility model arms and 2) long enough to modestly cover my butt, even when I raise my arms. The colors and prints are so vibrant and fun the hardest part was deciding on which ones to get.

Ordering is easy, love the clothes and the prices. Communication from company is excellent. The dresses wash up well and never wrinkle.

When I first got the Dresses, I bought 3, I wasn't very impressed until I tried them on. OMG, they are amazing, not only do they look spectacular and everyone loves them but also they are super confortable. I wear them with nice shoes and jewelry and it looks very chic. I wear them with sandals and they look casual. They really are amazing and the personalized service I received from Lena, the CEO, is very touching to know that she is on top of every step of the way.

I bought 3 dresses and they all were comfortable and easy to take care of. Big pockets are a definite plus!

I love both dresses I purchased. I’ll probably get more eventually. The email help was pretty good too.

I really appreciated how every step of the process was communicated. I would have liked fewer marketing emails, though. The dresses arrived and they fit beautifully. The material is great and they are both excellent patterns that look exactly like the photos. I love these dresses!
