The Best Online Plus Size Womens Clothing

Heather Michelle
As a plus size woman, I know how difficult it can be to find plus size clothing. The clothing available is often inappropriately sized, too "old" and even sometimes too "young." There has to be places to shop where plus size clothing is comfortable, stylish, and fits well. Since the plus size brick and mortar stores are few and far between, the plus size woman needs to venture into the world of cyberspace and visit one or several of the best plus size online clothing stores.

Silhouettes
www.silhouettes.com

Silhouettes is an online plus size clothing store that is unfortunately underused. I discovered Silhouetted after my mother-in-law received one of their catalogs and I was overwhelmed by the stylish choices. Silhouettes offers amazing plus size clothing that is both stylish and comfortable. As with most plus size clothing, an average pair of pants as well as sweaters runs in the $40 range. Silhouettes carries clothing in sizes up to 6x. While not every piece is available up to 6x, there are a lot of options available in every size. Plus size women can visit Silhouettes and find an outfit for any occasion.

Lane Bryant Catalog

Lane Bryant is possibly the most widespread plus size store. Lane Bryant Catalog shares a name but is no longer a Lane Bryant affiliate. This means that all of the clothes are completely different. While Lane Bryant offers great clothes for plus size women, Lane Bryant Catalog offers more diversity in clothing choices. Lane Bryant Catalog carries a lot of comfortable clothing but also carries many stylish business appropriate fashions and dressy fashions as well. The sizing goes up to a 6x or 44W. Lane Bryant Catalog truly knows the plus size woman and caters to her needs. This makes it one of the best stores for plus size online shopping.

Catherines
www.catherines.charmingshoppes.com
Catherines is an online plus size website that offers women of plus size a large array of quality clothing. Catherines carries some of everything, from dressy to casual, intimates, swimwear, and even accessories. Catherines caters to women wearing size 16W to 36W, which is equivalent to a size 5X. One of the best aspects about Catherines clothing is that they offer beautiful career outfits. Some of the outfits offer their own sizing charts so that the items are more tailored. Catherines also has several stores as well as send out catalogs. Luckily for those of us who don't have a Catherines store nearby, we are able to shop online for our plus size clothing from Catherines.

    Thank you thank you for some real information on plus size women's shopping. There are alot of us out here and I've always been hesitant before to buy clothes online.

    i wear extended plus sizes (thanks, partly, to my 4 month old and that UNMOVING belly fat) and it's really hard to find clothes in my size that FIT. thanks so much for standing up for plus size women everywhere and also for the links.

    Well written and informative article! However, you could have added alight.com (a great site if you are into trendy styles and unique styles that you won't find in stores; additionally, the site has a more junior appeal as well).

    Never heard of silhouettes, but they do have some nice stuff. Thanks!
