ABOUT ~ Bernadette Alvarado
Born in Silver City NM and raised in Tucson AZ.
Received an Associate’s Degree in CAD/ Architectural Drafting from High Tech Institute in Phoenix AZ. Bernadette has been a wife of 27 years and mother of 3 children.
I began my business in 2021 due to the pandemic. My past business experiences have been as an Executive Assistant for over 20 years helping run businesses behind the scenes concentration on day to day operations.
I transitioned my expertise to my consulting company called Tesoro Business Services, as a result of a layoff because of pandemic. I enjoy helping startups establish and create sustainable habits to grow their business. My nonprofit heart is what lead me to helping women entrepreneurs establish and grow.
As a plus size executive my role, while valuable, was very much take the picture but never in the picture, whereas my thinner counterparts were always the star of the picture. I had been looking for more options regarding plus size work wear and that is where Gordyfabs began.
Gordyfabs LLC is a clothing company that tailors to curvy women, that are looking for out of the ordinary big box store clothing.
Clothing that represents their lifestyle and clothing style.
Tucson does not have many non-big chain stores that offer clothing for plus size women, when my love of fashion and a photo shoot collided the concept of Simply Hermosa was established.
A fashion show that celebrates, empowers and promotes body positivity and inclusiveness. Simply Hermosa is in its 3rd year and we are so honored to have returning boutiques celebrate the Hermosa in us all.
