With many in the community expressing concern over price points, this is the perfect time to spotlight plus size clothing stores that blend style with accessibility.

Tips for shopping on a dime:
Never buy โJUSTโ because it is on sale. Ask yourself, did you love it full price? Have you had your eye on it? If so, then snatch it up! Otherwise, you will end up with a closet full of items you will never wear!
If you have the chance to go in-store, try it on. Not just the size you think you are, but one up and one down. You never know how it will actually hang on your curves compared to the hanger.
In the store,ย if something is damaged that can easily be repaired, do not hesitate to ask for 10-15% off. Usually, that is the most an associate can do, but it never hurts to ask!
Think alterations. If you love it and it needs a few tweaks, never dismiss the length, the sleeves, or the fit in the waist. Take it to your loving and talented tailor and have it reworked just for you!
Lastly, when you are shopping, make sure you know what is already in your closet. SO if that means you need to take inventory (perfect time at the start of the new season), then do it to prevent five black shift dresses from sitting there, staring you in the face!

Donโt rule out Zulilly either. They have 2 to 3 plus size boutiques every day. Some of it is SOS and you really have to look, but Iโve gotten some great pieces there for not very much $$$. The problem is it takes 2 to 3 weeks to get your stuff AND itโs not returnable, so shop carefully. Iโm about to try Ashley Stewart. They have a big retail store in Atlantic City. May go give it a look see. Will be visiting these others you have suggested, too. Thanks, Marie!
Thank you Carla for sharing! ๐
Ladies shopping some of these retailers and online boutiques may also want to keep in mind that some of them sell Junior Plus and sizing can vary greatly than regular plus.
I pointed this out and have actually done a few posts on this sizing difference ๐
Thought Iโd throw in the arena Hips and Curves โ lovely lingerie โ itโs like Victoriaโs Secret โ but better!
LOVE them! ๐ to bits!
awesome pics, i frequent at least 5-6 of these on the regular! will shareโฆ
thank you much madame!!!
Glad to hear Nordstrom Rack finally put their plus sizes online. Iโve visited several Nordstrom Rack stores in the L.A. area over the years and was always discouraged by the VERY small selection of plus sizes I found. I recall visiting the one in Glendale many years ago and seeing one size 16 item, a tent-like pepto-pink long sleeved t-shirt. They had 3 of them on the rack, but thatโs it. Maybe Iโll give them another chance online.
There are always cool and good options! ๐ Gotta love that we have options!
Iโm loving pinkclove.co.uk for great casual wear and trendy prints right now! I also am soooo glad you mentioned Ashley Stewart! They just hit a rough patch and I need them to stay around bc they offer the best selection of plus size clothing for the office! ๐ Not too trendy, but not too granny!
Sorry, when Target pretty much has ZERO plus size options in their stores, I just donโt feel it should be on the list. The storeโs selection has been getting worse and worse for years now to the point where the Maternity Section in the stores around here were MUCH larger. Now the stores basically have NOTHING. I donโt give a darn if the website has optionsโitโs pretty dang apparent that Target completely disregards their plus size customers!
Not to mention their snafu with a dress in plus sizes in โManatee Greyโ and the same dress in Junior Sizes (same color) being โDark Heather Greyโ.
Add in the incredibly bad photo shopping to provide their models โthigh gapsโ.
Or how about when they use an obviously pregnant model to show their plus size clothing on their website (as if thereโs no difference between being plus size and being pregnant.
Iโve been a long time shopper of Target, but itโs obvious that they donโt regard me (at my size) as a valued customer and Iโll spend my $$ elsewhereโฆ
Super list Marie! Love following you and getting the latest and greatest!
Alloy is not a good choice for Plus size, the 3x I ordered was a size 12. I do a lot of shopping @ Macyโs. They have great selections & good sales. Sometimes you can get additional savings on sale items. I also like to shop at Modcloth. Everything Iโve bought has fit perfectly, no alterations required. Thatโs big for me because I always have to what I buy. Looking forward trying out the sites you have recommended. Thanks!
I like shopping at cato for plus sizes I have a lot of jeans from there also tops
