Big sizes stores?

Do anyone know of any good stores who carry plus sizes. Preferably plus sized intended for big pepole and not just the small model blown up, as that have a tendency to not fit well on a big girl's curves.

Here's the URL:

It looks like they've gone more mainstream than they were many years ago when I first heard of them.

Torrid is just Hot Topic's big cousin, that doesn't mean that you can't find decent stuff there just that their prices tend to run a bit high and the quality isn't always the best so look for sales.


Personally I get most of my clothing at normal shops, just keep an eye out for things that fit your style and fall is a good season to do that as darker colors and more decadent fabrics are in style.

I rarely shop at Torrid as they are way too expensive & tend to do my shopping at regular stores too. Stores will always have dark colored clothes so next time I would just stick to the plus size section & put together an outfit w/whatever you see & can afford that you like. In fact, some of my favorite shirts I got from Target & Wal-Mart (who knew Miley Cyrus could be made goth but I found a way...*evil laugh*) I also found 2 awesome coats & a sweater at Goodwill so good stuff really can come from anywhere.

Exclamation

www.mame.com.au has some great stuff and they are really friendly and helpful, i usually email them first checking the measurements. I find their range called Covet Couture (also found at www.covet.com.au) has a good variety of stuff in the larger sizes.

Definitely worth checking out! better then settling for dark shades or norm clothing (altho nothing wrong with that if that’s what ur looking for tho)

Well i hope that helps someone! fun shopping ppl!

A friend of mine is plus size and she shops at Debs and also at Dots. They tend to have some really cute plus size stuff that can easily be made goth.

Yes! DEB is awesome!
I recently bought black skinny jeans, they have holes and lace material so it looks like you're wearing lace leggings underneath.

They have alot of gothy looking clothing...
