Plus Size

Plus Size Clothing: Sizing Guide

Plus size clothing means pieces built from the pattern up for a fuller figure, roomier through the hip, bust and waist rather than a straight size simply stretched larger. At Tags Weekly the range commonly spans 1X through 6X, or about a size 14 through 32, across dresses, tops, sweaters and more.

What are good plus size brands?

Good plus size clothing brands span a wide range of style and price points, and Tags Weekly carries several as new outlet stock, including Nina Parker, Rachel Roy, White Mark, 24seven, Alfani and Style & Co. Rather than chasing one name, matching the cut and fabric to your own shape tends to matter more than the label on the tag.

What to check on a plus size product page

• Size chart: compare the garment's own measurements to a piece you already own rather than trusting the number alone.
• Fabric content: a stretch blend forgives more than a rigid woven when a fit sits between two sizes.
• Photos: images shown on a frame close to your own size give a truer read on drape and length.
• Care label: checking wash instructions before the first cycle keeps stretch fabrics holding their shape.

New plus size arrivals join the rack as outlet stock, commonly one piece per size, so browsing the women's Plus Size shop for dresses, tops and sweaters by size is the fastest route to a fit. Joining the mailing list flags fresh markdowns as they post.
