“Lenore Miller is a plus-size, insecure teen whose talent for fashion is discovered by her confident, plus-sized classmate, forcing her into the spotlight—and into the path of both bullies and new friends. Lenore’s father Mark (Wilson) is her biggest cheerleader, but the fears of her image-conscious mother (Pyle) and Lenore’s own insecurities prevent her from wearing her own designs. Will Lenore ever feel the self-love she inspires in others?” reads the synopsis.

Steve Sarowitz, Jeremy Garelick, Will Phelps, Molle DeBartolo, Kimberly Doebereiner, and Anna Saalfeld serve as executive producers, while Angela Cardon is the co-producer.
“Making Empire Waist was such a deeply healing experience for me,” Ayoub previously said about the movie, via Deadline . “Knowing that audiences across North America and around the world will be learning that they are worthy and loved exactly as they are goes beyond my wildest dreams.
