I have purchased beautiful unique mohair sweaters, etc. from Germany and Canada. I purchase classic pieces from places like talbots and always keep my eye open for accessories. Fashion is a state of mind and being a plus size girl I have never let the fashion industry dictate what is relevant to my body type. I know what looks good on me so much that women who are thin are always asking me where I have purchased items. Express yourself and live in your own skin...life is beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1727562 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 16:15:53 +0000 jacquez 1727562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bestie and I are both on the small/borderline end of plus, so that's a caveat -- you get fewer options as you get larger. A lot of plus-size ladies end up at WalMart because it's all there is for their size around, and I wish there were more choices for ladies in bigger sizes. </p> <p>Bestie is VERY feminine and I am very not; she is an apple shape and I'm a pear that someone tacked boobs onto. Neither of us like Lane Bryant -- the fabrications are poor and so is the workmanship.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am fond of Eloquii although a LOT of their stuff is too girly for me. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eloquii.com/busy-bee-sweater/1083401.html">I got this sweater a couple days ago and I'm wearing it today.</a>&nbsp;My husband says it's cute, and obviously I like it! I could have sized down. I went with the 18/20 because it's a longer sweater so I didn't want it tight on my hips, but that means it's a little baggier all over. I wish they didn't dual-size these things, because I'm between a 16 &amp; and 18 on their tops chart, but I just can't get that size in knits from them. I got a striped shirt in an 18 and I'm going to return it for the smaller size. &nbsp;</p> <p>Bestie's favorite place to shop, hands-down, is eshakti. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eshakti.com">http://www.eshakti.com</a>&nbsp; They will customize clothing or do full-out custom cuts. She gets about 90% of her work clothes here, and gloats about all her dresses having pockets. And not wimpy pockets! Pockets you can put an iPhone 6+ in!&nbsp;</p> <p>We both shop at Torrid for jackets and things. She also gets her casual tops and her jeans there, but I don't. Most of my jeans are NYDJ, and I have a few Lucky Brand, and a few from City Chic. </p> <p>I get graphic tees from TeePublic. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.teepublic.com/">https://www.teepublic.com/</a>&nbsp;. Their sizing bears mentioning, because "2XL" and "3XL" do NOT mean 2X and 3X. I would say that their 2XL is slightly larger than a standard XL (like between an XL and 1X) and their 3XL between a 1X and 2X. &nbsp;But if you like high-quality nerdy graphic tees, and you generally wear 2X or smaller (or are OK with men's tees), this is a fun place.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1727517 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 13:46:44 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1727517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Universal Standard is great too.</p> <p>Lane Bryant unfortunately does not bode well for quality, some of the fabrics are not high end. &nbsp;I do shop there but I wish they had a petite section, sometimes I feel the clothing is made for Amazonian women. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1726751 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 18:30:13 +0000 Greyscale 1726751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not in the plus-size market myself but I keep seeing ads for this minimalist brand that looks lovely.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.universalstandard.net/">http://www.universalstandard.net/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1726690 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:04:10 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1726690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On mobile so no links.<br /> Violeta (via Mango)<br /> Gwynnie Bee<br /> Modcloth<br /> Torrid (I know, but they make great jeans, honestly)<br /> Maurice's<br /> Catherine Scholze<br /> Marina Rinaldi </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1726671 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:31:31 +0000 Bonnie 1726671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The two blogs have wonderful looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1726668 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:25:15 +0000 Angie 1726668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Navabi too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-shopping#post-1726654 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 13:21:09 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1726654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are some very nice online retailers that I enjoy. &nbsp;Please add your own, as well as bloggers who promote body-positive fashion.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jibrionline.com/skirts/">http://www.jibrionline.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hipsandcurves.com/">http://www.hipsandcurves.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://society-plus.com/">http://society-plus.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eloquii.com/new">http://www.eloquii.com/new</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.citychiconline.com/">http://www.citychiconline.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kiyonna.com/">http://www.kiyonna.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://carmakoma.com/en">https://carmakoma.com/en</a></p> <p>Fashion blogs<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://gabifresh.com/">http://gabifresh.com/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://taneshaawasthi.com/">http://taneshaawasthi.com/</a></p> <p>Instagrammers<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bustle.com/articles/39160-23-plus-size-bloggers-to-follow-on-instagram-for-all-the-fashion-food-and-beauty-inspo-you">http://www.bustle.com/articles.....the-fashio</a></p> <p> </p>
