Gorga’s Store Envy, Which Launched in 2015, Appears to Offer Pants in Sizes From 0 to 8
Gorga launched Envy back in 2015 along with a business partner. However, issues between the two led to Gorga’s business partner deciding to step away.
The Bravo star opted to keep the store and after a monthlong closure, she reopened it on her own, according to North Jersey. Envy has received criticism about her clothing sizes since her reopening in 2017, despite fans praising the look of many of her items.
