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.
Snag
Snag used to be just an incredible, inclusive tights brand, but they have recently expanded and are making some super cool clothing in up to size 34! They have lots of super fun and versatile options from sweaters, tops, and bodysuits to dresses, skirts, and even jeans!
Catherines
Catherine's is a staple for many people over size 28. They carry up to a size 36 (or 5x), and have so many options! Catherine's is not only a a great place for daily wear, but they also carry active wear, bras, and awesome outerwear as well. They're covering all your bases!!! Prices start around $25.
Tuesday Of California
I am completely in love with this brand. I've got several pieces from them (my fave you can see here). All of their in house items are created up to size 6x/30, and are amazing quality. Supporting small businesses and getting cute plus size clothes at the same time? Win! Prices start around $60.
Ashley Stewart
Ashley Stewart has been an amazing force in the plus size community for a long time, and they have some great clothes, and now they have great clothes that go up to size 34/36! While the selection is limited, they are working on getting all of their designs into the full extended size range very soon! Their prices start around $25.
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!
SuperFit Hero
Superfit hero is the wildly inclusive plus size activewear brand you've been dreaming of. With sizes up to 7x (or 40-42) they have got you covered for all your working out or lounging around needs. They're comfy, and the matching sets make me swoon. Prices start around $50.
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.
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!
This is a great list. I was surprised to find sites I'd never heard of before and am now excited to go get some cute new clothes! GREAT JOB!
THANK YOU!!!! I'm so so glad you found some new places! <3
Are there any places that sell clothes made of COTTON?!!! For a big girl
cehck out blue sky clothing! They have a linen collection that is beautiful and might have other cotton-only pieces!
Some of Catherines clothing is all cotton. Their lower priced tops tend to be made of cotton. This helps you to find them without going into the product description.
Thanks for this list! I was lost when Fashion Bug closed and then Dress Barn, As soon as we get a great store they close it, I don't know why the demand is there. I also shop Boohoo online. They are a European store but have recently started selling the US. I find there stuff to be inexpensive and pretty well made, Sizes run on the larger size, but it makes me feel better about myself. Lol
Thanks again,.

Thanks for compiling this list, I look forward to each addition! I wasn't aware I had so many options!
YAY!!! I hope you find new amazing things and I can add new stuff often!!! <3 thanks for reading!
Any idea where I can get the skirt in the first /cover picture!? Always wanted one of the suspender skirts but I've never been able to find one 🙁
And of course, thank you for the links! 😀
Hi Ruby! Thanks for stopping by! The overall dress in that picture is from Asos.com several years ago. BUT, I will be doing a tutorial on how to make one of these dresses (easily) very very soon!
Thank you so much for this list. I just bought three dresses from eShakti. This weekend they are having a buy one get one free special (until April 27) and I got a $40 gift certificate for signing up, including a free alteration. I saved over $70 and the dresses are all super cute.
YAYY!!!!! I'm so glad you found something you loved and got such a STEAL on it!!!! Thanks for stopping by, Mer. I'm sure the dresses will look amazing on you!!! <3
Thank you so much for this list, I spent over an hour over at eShakti and I could almost cry at how much their stuff suits my style. There are so many more options on here that I never knew about, thank you so, so much!
Awwww that makes me SO SO happy!!!! Eshakti is an amazing brand and I'm sure you'll love tons of stuff they have! We all deserve to feel like our styles are represented and get to wear clothes we love! <3 Thanks for reading <3
Great info. Lucky me I ran across your website by chance (stumbleupon).
I've book-marked it for later!
Stumbleupon is so great! I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I already shop at Roaman's, One Stop, Woman Within and Catherine's. Mostly Woman Within. Great clothes and very comfortable.
I'm glad you like a lot of the stores listed! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you SO much for doing this. Big on Batik was the only new one to me & their dresses are adorable. It made me smile to see actual fat girls like me modeling their clothing & looking happy.

Meshel your blog is so cute!!!! If everyone can walk away with even just ONE store they hadn't know about before I'll be happy! Big on Batik is so cute and I totally agree, I LOVE that their models look like the people I know!!!! <3 thank you for stopping by, I'll definitely be checking in on your blog!
I love buying clothes from India. They usually sell up to a 52 inch bust. I would not know what that equates to in sizes. Utsav is one of my favorites.
thanks for the tip Kathryn!!! I'll check them out!
Can you tell me names of a few more brands, or places you usually shop from in India? I live in Mumbai.

I found EShakti the other day and was blown away, lovely dresses in my size that I could customize! So happy I had several dresses in my cart when I realized they don't ship outside the us and canada. As I live in the Netherlands I was gutted.
Does anyone know a similar shop that does deliver in europe? I would be so grateful 🙂
Hi Miki! There is a site called dressmavens but they are MUCH more expensive than eshakti. If I can find another site that I think is very similar to eshakti but delivers overseas I will be sure to feature them very soon!!!!
Thanks for the list but what about those of us that don't like shopping on line? I hate the hassle of ordering, trying on and returning clothes that don't fit. I want to be able to go into a store and actually try the clothes on.... I'd love to get more ideas of places that carry over a 28 and have an actual retail store (besides Catherines). Thanks!!
I would love that option too, Stacey. There are a lot of independent shops but they're few and far between and spread out around the US. I promise once manufacturers actually decide to put their clothing in brick and mortar stores, I will be singing their praises. Until then, online is some times our best bet.
This list is so amazing! I wish there were websites like these shipping to India too.

I'm so surprised to find shops I didn't even know about! Thank you so much for doing these lists; the feeling of being "too fat" for fat girl clothes suuuuuuuucks. Thanks again so much for taking the time to do these! <3
Oh it makes me SOOO happy when people find stores they didn't know about YAYYYY!!!!! I know the feeling, and I love when we can share resources with one another! <3
Are these sites for reals? I ordered about 6 items off of "nastydresses.com" and omg. It's been over a month and I haven't received anything. I also ordered from " Sammy dresses" and they haven't sent me anything. I really want to buy stuff online but I'm scared now.
hi babe. Yes, the sites listed are for real and they're not the same kind of sites as sammydress. Most are based in the US and are more than reliable. I'm so sorry you had that experience with those companies!
Hi there!
Thanks so much for including my label in your list 🙂
Just wanted to call by to thank you, and say hi!
I really appreciate you giving some exposure to indie designers like me.
And I am so happy to design for lovely plus ladies - at the moment I do up to size 32 in my leggings and in the new skirts and dresses coming out next month, but am always happy to make to order if anyone needs one of my designs in a bigger size than that.
swakdesigns.com is my personal fav!
They're one of my faves too!!!!! <3
Thank you so much! I have been struggling finding clothing large enough without having to win the lotto!
Woman Within is an Excellent place to get plus-size clothing. And everything is still pretty, no horizontals or florals!!! Please add it to your great list of stores? womanwithin.com
Hi, can you give us girls from the UK some ideas for online/shops too as its so hard over here to get clothing for us BBW . xx
