For a long time, I avoided โ€œthrifting,โ€ because most thrift stores didnโ€™t have plus size options โ€“ or if they do, the options were dismalโ€ฆ Rack of muumuus made of terrible prints. No hate on the muumuu, but I feel like thereโ€™s more out there for the plus size woman who loves a great piece of vintage fashion, ya know?

But all of that has changed over the past few years!

There are now so many options now. In addition to the growing amount of plus size boutiques, there are now plus size vintage shops that offer plus size resale, thrift and vintage, that have opened in the last year, alone. I know right? Well, as usual, we are here to help you out as weโ€™ve found 9 of our fave plus size vintage, resale & thrift shops, to shop in person!

Did you also know that shopping at these stores is great for the environment!

The rise of โ€œFast Fashionโ€ has a terrible impact on our planet.ย ย Compared to 16 years ago (2002), the average personย buys 60% more clothingย and keeps them for half as long.ย  Not only that, youโ€™re also supporting small and indie plus size businesses, as most thrift and vintage plus size stores are locally owned!
