As we've never met, you should know that I'm a 5'2", 195 pound fashionably-challenged woman. Between my lack of style, extra curves, and the limitations of my wallet, it's no wonder that I usually don't enjoy shopping for clothes.
But when I do find myself in the market and mood to shop, I often turn to the internet. Most product descriptions include reviews from real women (that's a bit debated on other items, such as appliances and electronics, but I think these are true reviews) that help weed out things that probably wouldn't work for me. They soften share their measurements, and I can compare mine to theirs.Another advantage is that I can normally find online coupon codes through sites like retailmenot.com to save money on my purchases!
Recently, I've decided that I'd look just lovely in a chevron maxi-dress, and I'm eager to buy one. As expected, I'm having a difficult time finding one in a size 18. No, that's no true...there are plenty out there, but when I hold them up to me, a pile of fabric puddles on the floor around me. I know it's a MAXI dress, but how many 6'6" women are out there? All I know is that uber tall girls are in luck this season!
So, I'm looking for a maxi dress...chevron pattern...size 18...petite length...affordable. It's the proverbial needle in a haystack. While I don't mind looking, it would be nice if I didn't have to look for the haystacks, too! I mean, it would be great to have a list of plus size retailers in one spot, so I could just go from haystack to haystack, right? Well, let's just make one!
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated in any way with the retailers on this list. I can't attest to their ethics, reliability, product quality or value, or delivery practices. "There's no guarantee, expressed or implied." "Buyer beware!" "Enter at your own risk!" (sigh) Now...
I'll get us started with a few retailers who either specialize or simply carry plus-size clothing. Please add any that you like to the linky by clicking "You are next... Click here to enter" at the bottom or by leaving a comment with information for me to add. Thanks and enjoy!
