Thank you so much for posting this.
You’re welcome
I would really love to support some of these. It’s very triggering as a superfat person to have to go check the sizes of every brand on a list like this only to find that now you know of 30 more plus size brands that don’t even make clothes for you. It would be really nice if there was a short description of the style of these brands and a size range listed with them. I want to support these businesses but not at the expense of myself.
Hi Laura! Thank you for your comment. It was not my intention to trigger you with just listing the brands without their sizes. I just wanted to create a resource. Instead of a description, I embedded each brands instagram page which would allow you to scroll through and see what the brand was about and if you liked what you saw you would just click the link in their page bio.
I heard your complaint and I have gone back through and listed the sizes ranges for each brand based on the information on their website.
Also, I do have an article on my site which is dedicated to plus size brands that offer sizes above a 24. You can feel free to check that out via the link below.
