WHERE TO SHOP FOR PLUS SIZE CLOTHING SIZE 28 AND UP

Most plus size retailers would have us believing that anyone over a size 28 is plain outta luck. Yet when I walk down the street I don’t see women size 28+ flaunting their beautiful unclothed bodies…. so that must mean GASP they also need clothes to wear!!!! Shocking, I know. Fat people need clothing. Fat WOMEN need clothing. They need clothing that doesn’t come from a mens big and tall store (though, let’s be honest all of us look stellar in an over-sized button up).

So this one is for my fat babes size 28+. The plus size clothing industry leaves you behind way too often. You deserve to feel amazing in everything you put on your body.

Universal Standard

Universal Standard is creating incredible quality clothing, tons of options, and up to size 40! They’ve recently committed to creating all new styles in their full size range and we are stoked! While many plus size women’s clothing companies are making their extended sizes less of a priority, Universal Standard is keeping it at the forefront of their mission. Their prices start around $50.

Ulla Popken

With sizes up to 38, Ulla Popken is a great place to shop for chic and hip plus size clothing. Because not all plus size babes are super tall, they are a great option for petite plus sizes with their “short” option in jeans and pants! Though most of the clothes are priced around $50, there is a really great “outlet” section of the website where you can find plenty of cute things for a steal! I’m also super excited about their new menswear line that goes up to 7x!

Curve Girl

Curve Girl is a new one to our list! They carry up to size 8x and the jeans shown below even go to a size 46! Curve Girl believes women shouldn’t be relegated to untrendy clothes just because of their size, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m so happy to have this new addition to our list and I hope you check them out! Prices are super reasonable too! Starting at $25!

On The Plus Side

With sizes from 22-48 (1X-8X), making it big truly caters to the larger plus size woman. They have petite and long styles in their pants, and I’ve heard from several people that their quality is excellent. This brand is more expensive than some others, but would be a great place for staple pieces like a great pair of jeans. Prices start around $70.

Kiyonna

I absolutely love this brand’s all around sophisticated look. They have beautiful work wear that would be amazing to twirl around an office in. While their prices are higher than some on the list, the pieces I own from them are solid and have lasted me a long time. And look how beautiful some of these prints are! Sizes up to 32 (5x), prices start around $45. I recommend buying from their Amazon shop for the best prices on their items!

One thing I know for sure is that WE NEED MORE PLUS SIZE STORES CARRYING OVER SIZE 28!!! Every time I update this post I feel excited by the newcomers and always a little sad to see a couple disappear as well. As a plus size community, I hope that we can all raise our voices enough to insist that brands start catering to a larger audience.

Happy shopping my plus size angels!
