Although a lot has changed since 10 years ago, 40+ plus size women still find it harder to find stores that sell fashionable and chic clothing for them. Most high-end brands still don’t cater to plus size women and neither do many low-end brands.

Some brands don’t carry plus size in their stores though but do carry them online.

I like to make it easier to find great clothing catered to plus size women by creating this online resource as there are lots of fabulous pieces to shop online now. No more excuses to look great even if you need a plus size!

I will kickstart this list with some of the best shops I have found. However, as I’m not a plus size shopper myself I would love to get the input of all my plus size readers. If you have a favorite shop, please let me know in the comments and I will add it to the list.

In addition to shops and brands I have also added some of my favorite pieces for fall at the bottom of this article.
