Full disclosure while writing this article, one of the first things I’ve noticed is how limited the options are for any plus size women above the size 24. Also, most of these designers only provide plus-size options with third-party websites such as 11 Honoré, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom. To be very honest, it’s was very disheartening.
Plus size does NOT stop at 24. How can we all fully participate in luxury fashion if it isn’t in all sizes? I realized a long time ago that I have size privilege, and many plus-size women aren’t happy with the state of fashion, as we shouldn’t be.

Great article! I love luxury brands and I think it makes a difference. One wrap dress from Diane Von Furstenberg can last a decade and it feels great!
Thank you for sharing some different designers that I did not know about!
I am a size 24 and I agree that I feel privileged sometime because I can buy something in my size in a store or on-line. Most luxury brands are only on line!
Many luxury/mid-tier retailers have stepped away from the plus size market! Wear whatever makes you feel fabulous!!!!
Needless to say, I believe I can speak on behalf of the “plus” population, that we are excited to see the upswing of familiar fashion houses showing more and more styles for the fashion conscience, plus sized woman. The days of buying clothes that could double as maternity wear are gone, with good riddance!
Thank you for noting how all of these options top out at size 24. When I was younger, everything topped out at a size 16, so yes in many ways that size 24 is such a welcome jump in recent years. But as I’m now beyond the size 24 they all offer, listicles like this are SO disheartening to read. To come so far but still just be out of range. They need to do better, and they’ll only start doing better if we demand better. Yes we need more influencers and fashion icons that are above a 24 (um, yeah, call me! I’m available and hella stylish, despite being a size 30 with a visible round tummy and no cleavage to speak of. If you can find my waist I’d appreciate it, because I haven’t seen her in decades…). But more importantly, we also need smaller plus-size influencers to band with us and refuse to shop or promote brands that are not inclusive. I know the pickings are already slim, but put yourselves in our shoes and try still slaying it every day. If I can do it, a middle-aged queer cat lady on a librarian salary, so can you, honey.
