Charlie a Go-Go, Tops and Tunics For Women over 40
Charlie a Go-Go for gorgeous ladies who have boobs, butts and tummies
“What woman hasn’t at some time in her life struggled to find clothes that fit and make her feel amazing? What lady hasn’t at some time experienced change-room-rage or a flood of tears when trying to shop for something – anything – to wear? Lisa Charles and Quita Leslie, the founders of the new clothing brand, Charlie a Go-Go sure have. As besties out shopping together, ‘West Coast girl’ Lisa and ‘Down Under chick’ Quita saw a real gap in the clothing market for ladies who, like them, have ‘lived life’ and had nothing to wear! This is the key element of the Charlie a Go-Go label. Recognizing that the clothing needs of ladies of a certain age, size and shape were largely being ignored by most mainstream designers and manufacturers, Lisa and Quita finally said, “enough” and set out to manufacture a range of groovy tops and tunics to suit gorgeous ladies who have boobs, butts and tummies.
Charlie a Go-Go Designers & Gorgeous Women over 45: Quita Leslie and Lisa Charles
Primarily designed for women over 40 who wear sizes 12 to 18, the label aims to help their customers feel funky, fabulous and cared for. “Quita and I are both on the other side of 45, and I’ve personally struggled with finding clothes to wear shopping, to the movies and out to lunch”, said Lisa. “At the end of the day, sometimes you have to just jump in and solve a problem yourself. I’m not sure how many clothing manufacturers have had the experience of going into a teary-rage because they couldn’t find clothes that fit, but I have. Incidentally, we don’t call ourselves “fashion designers”, said Lisa, “Quita and I are simply clothing manufacturers working hard to bring something to our ladies that makes them feel listened to and loved.”
Charlie a Go-Go –American Made in Downtown Los Angeles
Charlie a Go-Go’s line is ‘designed’ in Australia and is proudly made in Downtown Los Angeles from beautiful soft and wearable American-made fabric. In their search for factories to manufacture their line, Lisa and Quita, traveled to Indonesia and China, and even considered Fiji as a possible production base. Their year-long search for an ethical manufacturer lead them back to Lisa’s hometown, where quality and ‘heart’ came together. “We wanted our garments to be made somewhere that cares for it’s workers”, said Quita, “and we wanted to give our ladies quality garments that don’t fall apart after three washes.”
Tops and tunics shaped for bodies that have lived a life!
With a vibe reminiscent of the sixties and seventies, Charlie a Go-Go wants women to dump the frump and get their groove back. “Our customers are ladies who were a force to be reckoned with back in the day. They remember what quality clothing was like, they ‘invented’ cut off jeans, tie-dye and disco glam”, said Quita. “They were discovering their love of fashion at that time, and now they want it back in great clothes that are made in their size, and shaped for bodies that have lived life!”
The first release of tops and tunics comprises four gorgeous ‘trans-seasonal’ basics which come in three great workable colors, and four generous sizes. Lisa and Quita have used beautifully curvy American and Australian bodies to make their clothing patterns, not computer software without any heart… or flesh, or soul. They’ve spent a lot of time finessing the fit and finish of their tops so they suit just about all body shapes – it’s like their tops have been tailored just for you.
To celebrate their launch, Charlie a Go-Go is giving away two fabulous tops to one of our lovely US-based readers. They have a great ‘combo’ of the super-flattering “Carly” tummy tank and the versatile “Lola” cardigan to share with you. Seen here in the beautiful Orchid shade, they are also available in a sophisticated Charcoal and a fresh French Vanilla.

I LOVET HE RHODA VEST!! I have always wanted a long vest and with fall and a pair of boots this would be amazing
Let me tell you, Wendi… the Rhoda LOVES BOOTS! I never wear mine without them–cool and fun! Thanks for the comment! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Joni in Charcoal. The sleeve length is one I like, longer without being long sleeves. I love the twist in the front, too. Looks dressy and comfy at the same time.
Hi Sherry… we call them “longer than average short sleeves”. We’re not sure if it makes sense to anyone except we ladies who want short sleeves but also want to cover our upper arms. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Good luck in the giveaway. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Joni in charcoal. It looks really nice 🙂
Thank you for the lovely comment, Jennifer. Have a wonderful fall. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I am really liking the Joni in Orchid.
The color looks rich and the style looks like it could be dressed up or down for multiple uses
Hi, Kat! We designed our tops to go from day to night… office to dinner, etc. We’re glad you like the Joni. Good luck with the giveaway and thank you for leaving a comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Lola Cardigan in french vanilla or lavender. I like to wear a sweater or cardigan over my shirt for if it gets hot I can take it off or if I am cold I am keep it on. Then you only have to wear one shirt that day instead of changing if I get hot or cold.
That is the beauty of the cardigan, Julie! Thank you so much for your comment and for entering the giveaway. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d like the Joni Tunic because it makes you look slimmer than the others. In the white color
We think so too, Donna. 🙂
Have a great Sunday! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Rhoda Vest. It reminds me of a duster and I like those. Plus, I like layering but I feel choked when I wear camisoles and shirts. This would allow me to layer without my claustrophobia kicking in. Yes, sometimes my clothes make me feel claustrophobic.
We are anti-claustrophobia at Charlie a Go-Go, Jayne. We’d love you to layer the Rhoda in a non-choke-y way and then send us a pic. 😉 Enjoy the cooler weather. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
the tummy tank with cardigan is lovely! i’d love to have it in charcoal. i think it would really take my look up a few notches.
Haha! Oh, Jeani… you made me chuckle. I’m sure you don’t need taking up a few notches but thanks for the giggle. Good luck and thanks for leaving a comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I would like the Joni Tunic in Orchid because I love that color. I lovt that the top covers your belly and the sleeves cover your arms.
Your comment means so much, Janice. We worked very hard to bring the Joni to life… to cover the belly and upper arms. It was important to do our best for our ladies.
Best of luck to you in the giveaway. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d like the Lola Cardigan or the Joni Tunic in Charcoal.
Good luck, Sarh. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
i like the Lola cardigan in white, it covers what needs to be covered and keeps me warm . 2 for 1.
I like your thinking, Gretchen. 🙂 Good luck to you. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the Joni tunic in charcoal. It’s a wonderful shade of grey and I like a shirt that covers my upper arms.
Not many tops with short sleeves cover the arms anymore, Gabrielle. This was important to us. Glad you like it an thank you for your comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
Hello, I like the The Joni Tunic because it would be a perfect top to dress up or down in and I’m all about multi purpose, a great travel piece. Thanks for a great giveaway!
We travel a lot, Trish, so comfort was a big deal in our designs. The tops also have to perform ‘double duty’… day to night. In short, we’ve done our best to give our customers their money’s worth. Thank you for taking the time to comment and enter the giveaway. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the The Rhoda Vest in white/cream color. That can match with a lot of clothing you wear.
We hope you get to wear a Rhoda, Tara! We think you’ll have a great time in her! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Lola Cardigan!
We like that you like the Lola Cardigan, Jeanna! Haha! Good luck, Hon! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Lola Cardigan because it hides a lot of things
Doubtful that you need a lot of ‘hiding’, Barbara, but good luck to you. Fingers crossed! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
i would like the Rhoda Vest they are so cute
Good luck with the giveaway, Rebecca! Just in case though… you can find the Rhoda on sale at Amazon while the contest is going on. Just follow this link: amzn.to/1CxuDxY
Have a great weekend! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the Rhoda Vest. I think the length would be slimming.
It is slimming, Cristy. I’ve got three!
It makes us so happy that you like our Rhoda. Thank you. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Rhonda Vest I would love. Why because I love it and I need something new.
We hope you get a Rhoda, Vicky. You deserve it. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I actually love the Carly Tummy Tank in charcoal because of it’s versatility in my wardrobe.
The Carly works in all seasons. We hope you get one, Jennifer, to see just how versatile she is. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
