Best Places to Buy Plus Size Clothing

Best Places to Buy Plus Size Clothing

Look great. Know where to look for plus size clothing.

Our readers have requested this roundup for some time. And when we sat down to research, we were so happy to find that there are more options out there than we expected! Because this post is more about “where to look” vs. “top picks” you’ll have to sort through these sites to find the items that are appropriate for your taste and tznius level. But the selection is out there!

From the beautiful, special occasion dressy sweater set, to that blazer that looks so classy and pulls the outfit together, to that luxurious cashmere sweater (or a similar sweater that’s a great deal), we hope you find some clothing picks you’ll love.

Do you know of a good resource we didn’t include? Comment below.

ANTHRO POLOGIE

For better, beautiful clothing, a lot of Anthropologie’s selection also comes in plus size. You can really find that special, gorgeous outfit here.

ASHLEY STEWART

Ashley Stewart might be the place where you can find occasion wear in addition to some great weekday finds!

asos

ASOS Curve has a huge plus-size section. If you sort by price, you’ll find more than 4,000 products to browse all for under $50.

avenue

Like Lane Bryant, avenue goes up to size 40.

Drama

A friend of ours shops here with her girls.

A great website with only tznius items (the online version of the Brooklyn-based retail store).

ELOQUII

This brand always putting out new styles that are specifically designed for plus-size folks who want to look great without breaking the bank.

FOREVER 21

This popular bran has a plus size department. You just might find a wardrobe staple you love.

JUST MY SIZE

Just My Size from Hanes has functional bras, panties, and hosiery designed for plus-size bodies, because underwear is probably the most important thing you’re wearing and it needs to fit.

KOHL'S

You will be able to get the essentials here at a pretty reasonable price, especially with the retailer’s constant sales and Kohl’s Cash.

LANE BRYANT

Lane Bryant is one of the few brands that sell up to a size 40 and actually have a decent selection for clothes on the upper end of that range!

MANGO

Mango has a beautiful collection and a lovely new plus size section!

ModCloth

This shop sells unique, vintage-inspired designs that are timeless and flattering for everybody. They’re affordable, high-quality, versatile styles in a full range of sizes.

NORDSTROM

Nordstrom carries lots of brand name plus size clothing brands, at all price points.

OLD NAVY

What’s cool about Old Navy, apart from its affordable prices, is that its “Women’s” goes up to a size 4X.

Ricci Fashions

Modest clothing for women. At Ricci Fashions you have
the advantage of buying directly from the manufacturer

UNIVERSAL STANDARD

Univesral Standard aims to be the world’s most size-inclusive brand, carrying elevated basics in sizes from 00–40 made from the finest materials. No matter what size, they have it!

Walmart

Despite the “cheap” stigma, Walmart offers decent quality items that can last a long time. Their own plus size brand called Terra & Sky is pretty popular.

YONA NEW YORK

From the start, our brand has been committed to remaining size-inclusive. We believe every design should be available in every size, for every woman.

Between Carpools

Between Carpools is a collaboration between five talented friends who like to get a lot of stuff done “between carpools.” Since 2016, we’ve been sharing home and organizing tips, parenting insights, activities, how-to’s and DIYs, and of course, entertaining ideas, recipes, and inspiring reads both on the site and app.

    My experience with old navy was that their plus sizes run very big. you generally should size down. I’ve had many times where I ordered in the size I get from most other places and it came pretty big.
    They really revamped their whole sizing across the board and almost all their stuff will work for plus size

    Tell me if I’m wrong but this post reeks of being written by straight size women for plus size women. It feels like you googled “plus size women’s clothing” and copy-pasted the first 15 websites that came up. “You can look as great as everyone else” is the most condescending, patronizing way to start off. Am I wrong? Was a single plus size woman hired/paid to help you with this post?

      I agree. Also with most of these stores the clothing needs alterations to be modest. There are so many great Jewish owned companies to buy from at many price points and the clothing is ready to wear. To name a few that I have bought from… Esteez, mimu maxi, wukogals, the Frock,.

        Help! Any frum tween plus-size? My tall, sweet 8 yr old looks like she’s 14 yrs old, and is a plus on top (outgrew all size 20 in frum sizes, and women’s XS, S, M in frum clothing is also too tight! Forget how long the sleeves and bodies of shirts go in womens sizes… they look ridiculous on her 🙁 She’s a size 14 kids on bottom because she’s lanky from waist down,- yes, we’re working with an endocrinologist to figiure out what’s going on- but B’H needs length in all short skirts, so she’s wearing 16. You can imagine how B’H challenging it is to find ANY tznius clothing that fits!!).

        Can anyone PLEASE recommend dresses and/or sets or separates that are plus-size on top somehow?? I see there’s a lot of plus-size tznius women’s clothing, but a gap in the market for tweens and teens. Any ideas? I’d appreciate any leads so that 1) I can put clothing in her empty drawers and 2) she can wear clothing that’s age-appropriate and feel amazing about herself <3

      Agree. There are fabulous plus size stores today that cater to the modest woman. My dream dress, in Boro Park, drama in Flatbush, and more. Some of the sites bcp recommended are really not good options. They are cheap quality and don’t fit well.
      I wonder if a true plus size woman was consulted for this post.

      I agree. I’m plus size and 90%. Of my cloths are bought online in target and macys. Their full plus size line is not carried in stores and therefore to find anything nice you need to go online. As for Jewish clothing stores their largest plus size marked as a 4x is usually a size 1x. I recently lost a little weight due to life circumstances (I did not try) and since I’m now a 1x I can fit into some clothing from some stores that carry bigger sizes. And of course I need to buy the 4x.

      I get what you’re saying. As a plus-size woman, I totally recommend https://yalnewyork.com. They have great options that always make me feel awesome.

    For basics, shells, and even special occasions, in plus or regular sizes– tzinus Ricci Fashions in Monsey is a serious go-to site for me: http://www.riccifashions.com

    I am plus size and have found so many nice buys on amazon! What’s best is that I can easily return if something does not fit right. It helps that there are often pictures and comments of similar sized women who tried the clothes and reviewed them. Amazon also carries a lot of nice plus size dresses.

    I purchase most of my skirts from frum tznius stores (I live in Israel and there are quite a few of those here that carry large sizes) but nearly all of my Shabbos and Yomtov tops are from amazon.

    I recently purchased this gorgeous Shabbos skirt. As for tops, I suggest fellow plus size ladies search on amazon for the companies LEEBE, Timeson, BAISHENGGT. And just in general put in plus size tops and see what has good reviews…

    Thank you for doing this list!
    Jjill.com and Talbots have great selections of tznius plus-sized clothing also. Not everyone lives in NY and has access to brick and mortar shops that people have mentioned, so this is a great resource for online shopping. Also appreciate that you’ve updated the list as new resources have been mentioned.

    Does anyone know of specific brands/stores/sites that sell “regular” sizes, but with very roomy chest area? I have been struggling for years to find clothes that are tznius on my figure, even though i am a “regular” size Medium-Large?

    Thank you for this updated list! It’s always a challenge to find stylish plus size options, and your recommendations are super helpful. I especially appreciate the emphasis on affordable brands. Can’t wait to check out some of these stores!
