Finding plus size centric brands that doesn’t just include you but centers you as a woman with curves has felt like a quest for a unicorn for many years.

While some mainstream retailers are expanding their sizing, there’s a big difference between extending a size chart and designing with plus size bodies in mind throughout the development of each collection. 

The lack of options still plaguing the industry for plus size fashion for women makes little sense in a U.S. market estimated to be worth $107 billion. We are the moment, so why won’t the majority of fashion brands hurry to catch up? With us, you won’t have to wait on them. That’s why we’ve rounded up 10 brands that aren’t just size-inclusive—they’re size-intentional.

The plus size market is booming, with the plus size women’s clothing industry expected to reach a market value of $24 billion by 2025. Despite growing representation, only a small percentage of fashion brands truly embrace and design for curvy women. In 2021, only about 19% of fashion brands offered plus-size collections that went beyond size 18. Yet, the buying power of plus size consumers is undeniable, with curvy shoppers now accounting for approximately 68% of women in the U.S.

As the demand grows, it’s crucial for us curvy women to support plus size centric brands that expand their sizing options and prioritize plus size women in every aspect of design, fit, and marketing. For curvy women ready to support brands that get it, this list is for you. From indie designers to women-owned labels, these brands are here to serve you, not just accommodate you.

But it’s not just your wardrobe that deserves plus size centric brands that see and celebrate you. Beauty brands are also stepping up, embracing plus-size representation in their campaigns and creator partnerships. From skincare to makeup to self-care essentials, these brands prove that beauty is—and always has been—body-inclusive.
