BTS shopping tips for plus size and curvy girls

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
A lot of curvy chicks know the all-too-familiar disappointment of walking into a cute store and finding a lot of the fab finds just won’t fit. It can be a total bummer even for the most confident curvy gal. Here are some of our fave stores that carry adorable plus sizes, so you can stroll the halls with some serious style.
 
Torrid
While it can be a tad pricey, the selection at Torrid is fabulous -- especially their sales! The best part? Their shoes are all in wide widths and their boots have more room in the calf.


Style tip: This sweet dress has an all-over print that looks great on girls with curves. The ruffled neckline and whittled waist details are so figure-flattering!
 
 
Ditsy Print Shirt Dress, $65, torrid.com


Forever 21 Plus Sizes

Oh, how we wish that F21 carried their plus size line in all of their stores. Thankfully, they boast an affordable and totally trendy collection on their website.


Style tip: To look long and lean, try a floor length cardi for instant lengthening. We absolutely love the fab tribal print dress paired with it.

Braided Tribal Print Dress, $25, forever21.com
 
Old Navy

Offering oodles of plus size outfits in stores, and even more online, Old Navy is the go-to place for discount divas. A quick 'n' easy scroll through the virtual sale rack makes shopping on a budget a breeze.


Style tip: This cute jacket with an asymmetrical button placket does wonders your torso. For a fall transition outfit, scrunch up the sleeves and pair it with a sundress. Once it gets cooler, wear it as the perfect topper to a jeans and a tee combo.

More stylish stores
If you're looking for other outfit options, Avenue and Lane Bryant offer surprisingly chic clothes specifically designed just for curvaceous chicas. Your fave retailers, like Delia's and American Eagle, are getting the hint and offering plus size options on the web. Their online stores go up to size 19 and 20, respectively, in jeans and 2XL in tops. If all else fails, the plus sections of department stores are your best bet to find your perfect fit.
 
Where do you think the best place is to find plus-sized clothes? Blog about it babes!

I'm an hour glass figure, kinda curvy, and my legs are really long. i've been wearing skinny jeans, and i love them, but i recently started not liking how they make me look wide because i have "a dancers theighs" meaning im really muscled. what types of jeans could i wear to make my legs look less chubby, while staying tighter at least around the butt? thanks




Hey, Girl! Sorry for the “stock” message. We’re psyched you’re here but since this is a super busy time, mods aren’t able to answer personal advice or contest questions. We’re approving your comments now so the girls can start offering feedback right away! If you still have questions, please come back, we’re happy to help…or just let the other chicas answer now! (They give awesome advice, trust us!) Love and thanks! ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes

MOD!
Can GL please do an article for hourglass body shapes? I have an hourglass figure but I'm also really short (5 feet). An article on this would help, since I don't need plus sized clothes.

This is really helpful because you never include like any plus size stuff in the maazine, so at least i have resources somewhere!

I would love an article for girls who are curvy but not plus-sized. Smile
