Nettles tale is another indie brand! Goes to 4x though some styles run small. Curator Sf goes to 4x and has great skirts!

I LOVE NS! I got a couple of dresses and sold them, my biggest regret ever.

Noting that Nettle’s Tale is not the same brand as Nettle Studios — despite having similar names!

As someone who often struggles to find cute clothes that match my style, I just want to say thank you for creating this guide—and for making it free. It’s very much needed and deeply appreciated!

This is an amazing resource! I’m a 4x and Lucy and Yak is actually the rare brand that runs big in my and my fellow 4x friends experiences!

Thanks! On Lucy and Yak - They sent me some bottoms and they were tight and big at the same time lol. The tops were perfect. I want to try more stuff!

I know this is framed as brands, but throwing these out there since I remember Plus Bus mostly as a resaler - Two Big Blondes in Seattle and Cake Plus Size in Minneapolis are amazing second hand shops!

They work perfectly under places you can shop in person! Thank you for sharing.

Oh no! Wanted to add Plus Bus to the list since you have Proud Mary Fashion on there. And, Mara Hoffman closing as a second update. I see how confusing that was the way I wrote it. Thanks for this newsletter. Great resource!!!

Thanks for this list! I’m always looking for new small clothing shops.

I’d also recommend Buttercream Clothing. It’s a small Canadian brand that specializes in comfortable basics. Great leggings, cardigans, t-shirts (that are long—it’s not “in” necessarily but I’m always searching for a good tee that’s long enough.
