After 12 years of being a plus-size content creator, I always get the same question:

“Where do you shop?”

Many brands claim to carry plus sizes, but will only go up to an XXL, or the clothes they offer are less than appealing. In my videos on Instagram and TikTok, I try to highlight the brands I know you will love, but finding them can be challenging.

When I decided to start a newsletter, I knew I wanted it to be a hub for our community—a place where we can discuss topics related to being plus-size that we don’t usually feel comfortable discussing out loud, and a great resource on all things related to plus-size fashion. Today’s newsletter is the beginning of that!

I have created a “master doc” of every brand and site that carries plus sizes. I have categorized them by fat-friendly jewelry, wide-calf shoes, indie brands, brands with limited sizing, and a few other categories to help you when shopping.

Please be a part of the community! Let me know if I missed your favorite brand in the comments, and I will try my best to add them ASAP.
