About Above Average

As plus size ladies themselves, owners/operators/sisters, Debbie Dickie and Dawn Blaschuk noticed the lack of really good lingerie in the market place for the ‘full figured‘ woman. After some research with Statistics Canada, it was stated 30% of Canadian women, over the age of 19 were over the size 14, yet no one catered to the needs of these women.

In the spring of 1991, Debbie and Dawn established the retail store Above Average Lingerie. By June 1991 they were up and running offering personal, professional bra fittings. This was very successful and the business grew steadily.

With our clients expressing a desire for more plus size fashion choices and out growing our first three locations, we have now settled at 103 East 12st Street in North Vancouver, and well known as Above Average Lingerie & Fashions. At this location you will find an expanded selection of sleepwear, loungewear, activewear and clothing all available in sizes 14 and larger.

Now we are your ‘one stop shop‘! Come check us out and one of our experienced staff members will be glad to help you and answer any questions you may have. Above Average Lingerie & Fashions is located in North Vancouver, BC, close to central Lonsdale, on an active bus route.
