We have been meaning to do this for the longest, swear! As designers are rocking out in fashions, giving us OPTIONS to dress our personalities and moods, so are the options in the breadth and width of sizes and styles for those of you beyond a 3X and better!
No for real! Now, why most designers stop at a size 3X, honestly, I cannot give you a qualified answer. However, rather than harp on what is not available; let us share with you the designers and retailers who are MORE CONTEMPORARY (which excludes a few) who are giving fashionable options beyond a 3X!
I was trying to figure out the best way to rock this out, so I decided to show and share faves from varied designers and give you the 411 on each!
So, please make sure to bookmark, pin, share and keep this as a reference!
Beyond a 3X, Fashions for the Plus Size Woman

These brands featured, along with those we mentioned at the beginning of this post, are places that we think have some of the cutest items that are contemporary and fashion forward options above a size 3X. While you are looking, make sure you follow these plus size influencers who rock plus size fashion beyond a 3X, fashionably!
Also, make sure you check out these non hourglass plus size bloggers to know and follow, too!
Finding plus sizes above a 24 still leaves room for improvement, but if we support those that do, more will come!
There are some designers that offer 26’s like Addition Elle and sometimes Ashley Stewart. We did not include them up there, but still wanted you to know!
Did I miss any? Where do you shop for sizes better than a 3X? Share and sound off!
Brava! Great posting. Some labels I wear a 2x others i can’t get into the 3X often in Jr. Sizes as little 17/18 and only as high as 22/24.. This is a wonderful round up of Plus Women’s size labels and some great featured items too thank you!
You are quite welcome my love! If you ever need anything ping me!
Plus size woman are beautifull and kind , here is for bbw and bhm admires
Here is place I found that’s the BOMB! They gives plus size shoppers and fashionistas the ability to see all the latest fashion trends from their favorite stores and brands all in one place! They totally saved me so much time shopping.
Torrid is still junior sizes. Their 3x is laughable. They still get points for shoes though….
I disagree…I find their 3x to be a true 22/24 for me.
I also disagree. Found some really cute things in up to 5x online (sucks they don’t have them in store to try on tho, online only) AND have found the perfect jeans, Curvy Skinny. The jeans even run big.
I love all these fashions!
Well I may be a little late to this but just found you via some online searches! I’m stymied looking for 6x+ items. So tired of buying men’s 8x polos just to have tops! Yes, part of the problem is I only want it to be B-A-G-G-Y. If it clings its too small in my mind. I used to buy from Roaman’s / Woman Within / One Stop Plus but their 6x tops are now being cut smaller I think (bought replacement for exact same tops I’d worn out and noticed new country of manufacture and it was too small). I’ve found MIB (makingitbig.com) with sizes up to 8x and bought a couple nice linen button ups for work but holy moley! Around $100 for ONE top? Nothankyouverymuch! I’ll stick to $22 plus size men’s polos.
I’m the mom of a 19 yr old plus size girl sz 22-26 depending on patterns?. She loves loves loves Torrid’s. I’m happy when she’s happy. Torrid’s is a little hard on my wallet, $60. for skinny jeans, $25+. for leggings. Some of the sales are very worth it. However, can someone recommend stores where we get for more affordable, diva worthy clothing? Also, she started working out and wants to wear ankle length skirted leggings. Where can we find these in 3X & over with skirt just above the knee? I have spent days online looking for this item.
Target just released a line for there plus size women… I have been able to find a lot of nice tops and skirts VIV & AVE Line
Gotta add Making it Big to the list.. mib.com
They’re expensive but so worth it. Love their fit and things are long to cover you the excess..
Get compliments everyone I wear some of their stuff..
I wear a size 28 and find it incredibly hard to find clothing. Places I have found are Ellos http://www.ellos.us/, and Society https://society-plus.com/collections/best-deals-plus-size-fashion-clearance.
It easy for the plus size ladies to view and search for nice dresses for them. Searching dresses and clothes on the internet make people love it, coz its just search, select and buy.
