But Christian Siriano was up for it. “I love Leslie and can’t wait to make her something fabulous to wear. I dress and support women of all ages and sizes,” Siriano told TIME in an e-mail. “It’s so funny that designers don’t want to dress me,” Jones wrote earlier on Tuesday. “Hmmm that will change and I remember everything,” she [added](https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/747839493386928128). Christian Siriano responded to the _Saturday Night Live_ star’s post with emojis, and later confirmed with TIME that he will create a dress for her. Siriano has achieved lasting success after winning _Project Runway_, and he’s frequently dressed different actresses with all different body types — like Danielle Brooks, Christina Hendricks, and Sarah Hyland — in his red carpet gowns. Jones’ _Ghostbusters_ co-star, Melissa McCarthy has been in a similar predicament before, telling [_Redbook_](http://www.redbookmag.com/fun-contests/celebrity/melissa-mccarthy-interview?click=list#last-slide) that designers weren’t keen to dress her for the Oscars. _Ghostbusters_ hits theaters July 15th. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4386271/leslie-jones-ghostbusters-premiere-christian-siriano/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4386271/leslie-jones-ghostbusters-premiere-christian-siriano/"},"headline":"Leslie Jones Said No One Would Dress Her for the Ghostbusters Premiere.
