Curvy & Cute: Where to Find Designer-Like Clothing for Plus-Size Women

Amanda Gibbs

Finding quality, on-trend, well-priced clothing for plus-size women can be a hassle. Especially when sizes vary store to store, finding a fitting outfit for every body is often an uphill battle. Zipped has done the research for you and we are excited to share! While not all these stores have a wide range of sizes, they do all have their own plus-size collections. Keep in mind that not all stores have consistent measurements across their sizes, so always check the store’s size guide.

What sizes are considered plus-size is getting lower and lower in the modeling industry, (as low as size 6! – you can read about that here), but for the sake of this article, we are considering anything above a size 8 plus-size, as, according to plus-size model Ashley Graham.
