Often, we see comments where many of you are looking for places to shop beyond a size 24, you know, the extended plus size options. While you may be a size 22/24 in bottoms, but in some brands or cuts those thighs won’t give you a break and many times you may have to go up a size or two.
So today, we take a minute to update our growing list of shops catering to extended plus size and share some more of our favorite places to shop for the fall season!
For those of you wearing size 26 and above- it’s not just about finding brands that cater to your fashion needs- it’s also about great fit. And while slowly but surely, brands are stepping up to fill the void.
We found that several plus size brands (and traditional retailers) offer a large selection of their inventory to the extended plus size customer. But oftentimes, those sizes stop at a 3 or 4X. And with the climate of plus size fashion, there is an increasing demand for brands to be more inclusive with the options they offer.
So to help you out or enable, (whichever you choose) on your plus size shopping journey, we’ve rounded a FEW more online stores that offer items that are perfect for the extended plus size person.
13 Sites to Shop That Cater to Extended Plus Size!
For sake of ease and inclusion, we did not include those brands that stop at a 4X. We wanted to make sure that we featured brands that went further than that, up through a 10X. Along with a couple of our favorite finds, check out our list of extended plus size websites and let us know if we missed any gems!

“In 1996, Kim Camarella-Khanbeigi was an aspiring entrepreneur with just one problem. She didn’t have a business idea. Nope, with the rise of the “dot com” era, revolutionizing how plus size women’s clothing was perceived and distributed was not something she could have dreamed up. Well, that is, until she went on vacation.
Today, Kiyonna can be found in over 100 stores nationwide and beyond. Online business accounts for over 80% of sales, and in 2007, the company opened it’s first Flagship retail location called the Upstairs Boutique in Anaheim.”
