Shock and some heartbreak came from White House Black Market doing us plus girls real dirty recently, as we talked about their silent drop of plus sizes. We were so excited for their release of WHBM Plus but we never saw anything about it afterwards, in fact a lot of people didn’t know that it was ever a thing. The way we found out they stopped plus sizes? E-mails and comments!
WHBM said absolutely nothing about the end of having plus size options. The situation has been a letdown but, thankfully, we have other places to lean on for Plus Size Wear to Work Clothing.
Today, we look towards some of our favorites to depend on as plus size workwear seems harder to find. The business world can be stressful enough without having to worry about where to get work gear, there are tons of places to go and we’ve got the deets for you!

One of our favorites, the brilliant Eloquii who always brings color, modernization, and chicness into our daily lives as fashionistas. They can be a little pricey (subscribe to their emails for great sales!), but you’re getting quality and fabulousness, a deal-maker for us at TCF!
