What is considered plus size?
In the US, plus size is generally considered to be size 18 or above, though size 12, 14, and 16 shoppers may also identify as plus size because clothing options become more limited above a US 10. The average woman in the US is variously reported to be between size 14 to 18, which means more women wear plus sizes than straight sizes in the US.
Where can I buy plus-size vintage?
The options for plus-size vintage aren't nearly as numerous as they are for straight sizes, but several dedicated plus-size vintage shops have popped up over the last couple years. Some of Eves' favorite places to shop for plus-size vintage and consignment are Luvsick, Proud Mary, The Plus Bus, Berriez, and Plus BKLYN. A few of the retailers in our guide, including Tunnel Vision and Nooworks, also offer vintage or buyback stock on their websites.
Need clothes that are super stupid cheap. Starting at 3x but am losing weight quickly so I need a disposable wardrobe I can work through until I get to a weight that feels manageable that I’ll be sticking with for a while.
Shein stresses me out. I hate shopping on there, but it’s seeming like my only option.
Where do you guys get affordable clothes? I’m kinda poor, but I wanna look cute af lol. Where do you guys shop?
Hey FFA! I made a spreadsheet of stores with plus-size clothing options.
<Mega-List of Plus Clothing Stores>
I got married this spring and it was such a pain to find stores with cute little white dresses in my size I finally started making a list. Along the way I found many great shops that didn't carry bridal items but I still wanted to remember them for my next shopping spree.
Finding cute plus clothing is so difficult I thought I would share the sheet to hopefully save the rest of y'all some time. Please send me any stores that should be added to the list!
