Meet the Designer

Zahiyya

Former NYC fashion design director with 25+ years of experience designing activewear, streetwear, and private label for major brands. She created Cover Me Chic to serve women who’ve been consistently overlooked in the indie sewing space—curvy, modest dressers seeking stylish, body-affirming clothes that fit and flatter.

About the Brand

Cover Me Chic offers PDF sewing patterns with a fresh, modern aesthetic designed specifically for curvy women (sizes XS–4X) who prefer modest silhouettes. Our patterns combine timeless style with body-conscious shaping, modest coverage, and thoughtful details like:
  • Front slits for easy on/off
  • Optional belts and waist shaping
  • Longer hems and sleeves
  • Inclusive sizing with a custom block for curves
  • Video tutorials and sew-along support

We’re more than a pattern brand—we’re a movement in modest fashion redefined.
  • Modest AND Fashion-Forward: Maxi skirts, flowing sleeves, and necklines with style and edge.
  • Curvy Fit Comes First: We design for hips, bellies, and busts—no grading afterthoughts.
  • Inclusive Values: Our mission is rooted in visibility, self-expression, and designing for underserved women.
  • Designer Expertise: Patterns are built with the same detail and standards used in major brands—translated for the home sewist.
