Read More You know it’s worth it when reviewers are buying multiples in different colors. I am a "Judy" of all trades who writes about pretty much everything, but specializes in sexual wellness, personal care, plus-size fashion, maximalist home goods, and gnarly before and after pics! Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. Promising reviews: "I have gotten rid of my old, washed-out, misshapen tees. Tee Rex shirts have taken their place. They wash beautifully, resist wrinkles, and fit perfectly. US understands all body types and creates garments to fit us all!" —Sallie R., size M (18–20) "I find myself wearing these tees several times a week! Just the best tees. Soft, comfortable, nonclingy. Long enough without being sloppy. Lots of color and style choices (V, crew, short/cap/long sleeves, stripes, plain). I've been wearing them for years!" —Frances C., size L (22–24) "Great feel and fit. Such a great staple to have in your wardrobe." — Pam T., size M (18-20) Get it from Universal Standard for $50 (available in sizes 00–40, two necklines, short and long sleeves, and 11 colors/patterns — not all sizes available in all colors). Promising review: "I LOVE this outfit. I bought it in black, and it fits me perfectly. I was a little concerned with how the front tie would look, but it actually works great. I also love that it doesn't show too much skin, but it still gives off a hint of sexy, yet classy. I will definitely get this in other colors." —Prima T., size XL Plus "Buy it, ladies, it's a nice outfit. Fits me just right, and I love that the tie around hides some of my stomach. It's comfy and cute. You can dress it up or down. Either way, buy it." —Kashara, size XL Plus Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL Plus and 29 styles). Promising review: "I’d recently ruined a pair I brought about a year ago with bleach and ordered these to replace them. Gloria Vanderbilt jeans are the best quality jeans I’ve ever found; they’re comfortable, they don’t lose color, and they fit great. I like how dark the color stays, no matter how many times I wash it. They stretch the perfect amount. Hands down best jeans, especially if you’re plus size." —Jessica F., size 26 Get them from Amazon for $26.31+ (available in sizes 14–26, three inseams, and 14 colors). Promising reviews: "This is my second one, because the first one I ordered was just the ticket. Both were laundered beautifully. The flannel used is heavy, almost like wool. The colors are as advertised, too. They are warm and love the length below the knee. Now, I am 5’2”, so a taller person may fit it above the knee, and where the sleeves are a tad long on me might fit a taller person just right. I think the price I paid was reasonable, too. Hope others have the same experience." —Diva, size 22 Plus "I'm in love with this flannel, perfect fit and length. I ordered a size 26. I first ordered the black and white. I tried it on and had to order another one. I wore it with jeans, and of course, it will look perfect with leggings. Perfect for spring and fall. If you're looking at this flannel, buy it!" —Nikki, size 26 Plus Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 14–26 and 18 colors). BTW — they have pockets! Reviewers are obsessed with the high-waist style, the support of the elastic waistband, and the compression fit. SuperFit Hero is a California-based, woman-owned small biz that designs a wide range of premium plus-size activewear. Promising review: "I’ve had these for a while but have generally felt nervous about wearing skintight anything in public, so I haven’t given them a real test. Today I said, 'What the hell, you only live once,' and wore them on a hike. They were SO GOOD! Super supportive, wicking, zero chafing, stayed put both on the waist and the leg, and lay flat under the waist belt of my pack. These shorts are the real deal. Just more confirmation that Superfit Hero is the place to go for serious athletic gear for larger bodies. I will definitely be hiking in them in the future!" —Mollie S. Get it from SuperFit Hero for $75 (available in sizes L–7X and in four colors). Promising reviews: "Best bras for comfort and fit. I am larger-chested, and I get the front closure because of my shoulder injury. I think the crisscross back is so comfortable, and the straps are always wider than those of other brands. These are all I buy anymore!" —Bill S "I have tried so many bras and thrown so many away. Tried the no-wire (which are useless unless you have artificial implants). I have tried the snap-front closure, which is fine if you want a uni-boob. This bra is comfortable; the straps stay in place (which is always a problem); no pinching; wide sides and straps; so easy to put on. Front closure stays put, unlike so many front closures. Comfortable beyond compare. BUY THIS." —Theresa D. Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in band sizes 34–50, cup sizes B–H, and in 11 colors). Promising reviews: "I LOVE this blouse. It goes with everything. I have it in white, purple, and black. Day or night. Great with African prints and solids. Don't miss out!!" —T. Ann "Love this top so much, I have it in almost every color. The top is great for suits to jeans and is low-maintenance when it comes to ironing. :)" —Lisa H. Get it from Eloquii for $29+ (originally $59.95; available in sizes 14–32 and 13 colors). Promising reviews: "Love this jumpsuit! I was hesitant at first, as I am plus-size and wasn’t sure if this would work for me, but it's actually very comfortable. I would totally recommend it for a plus-size person! Looking forward to wearing it on a flight for spring break with a jean jacket or cardigan." —EJM, size 3XL "Totally did not expect this to fit right as I shy away from rompers and bodysuits because I’m so tall, but I was pleasantly surprised with the fit. Dress it up or down! I’m a size 18/20 and ordered a 3XL." —Jen, size 3XL Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 26 colors/patterns). Promising reviews: "The picture convinced me to order. I have a hard time finding tights that fit well. These are perfect! Great color, great quality, made well, great fit! I will buy more." —ALP, size XL/XXL "These have the stretch they're supposed to and looked fantastic. I would highly recommend. I am a little bigger, and they fit me wonderfully." —Chris Bryant, size 3XL/4XL Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (available in sizes M/L–5XL/6XL, 12 colors). Promising reviews: "This dress looks just like it does in the picture. It's slightly sheer, but you can't see-through it really, and it adds to the coolness. Very lightweight and perfect for super-hot weather. We are going to a family reunion in American Samoa, and the weather will be perfect. It is not stretchy at all, but it is not form-fitting either. It is a little boxy, but it's kind of bohemian and cute. I really like it." —Jade Y, size 3XL "Just get it already! Instantly, it became my go-to for just about everything. I am a teacher, and let me tell you my clothing has to fit perfectly, feel amazing, and stand up to frequent washing. Instantly, came back over and over again to this store. However, this dress here…a lifesaver. It is lightweight. The thickness of the fabric is great for a warm day, and it is wrinkle-resistant as long as you let it hang dry. It looks amazing on my shape." —Nicole James, size XL Get it from Amazon for $33.98+ (available in sizes S–3XL and nine colors). Promising reviews: "I love these as a plus-size gal. They don't roll down, and they're really smooth to the touch. Just ordered two more pairs! Great quality." —Gianna Raimondi, size XL "These are nice. Material is soft, thin, and might be a little see-through if you size too small. I got an XXL because I’m anywhere between a 14 and 18, depending on the brand. I did a workout and didn’t notice any discomfort or feel like the material would fall apart. These are an affordable alternative to the name brands most people like. I really like the 25-inch length too." —nicky, size XXL Get them from Amazon for $23.50+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and seven styles). I am quite literally wearing one of these right now. That's how many Foxy camis I own. They are designed to hug the body, so there's no harm in sizing up if you're a bustier gal. I am a 46DDD/F and wear a size 3 — but I have accidentally bought size 2s that fit just fine and are a true, tight, bodycon style. Seriously, this is one of my go-to Torrid purchases, along with bike shorts and leggings, because they last forever, and the one I'm wearing right now I've had for maybe seven years, and now it is a perfect sleep tank. You need it! Promising reviews: "A plus-size essential: soft, comfy, well-designed, supportive, and detailed — just what a perfect cami should be!" —Viaxixi, size 6X "I have so many colors… they are a must-have closet staple. If you are wondering if you should try one, do it!" —Torrid Customer Get it from Torrid for $10+ (originally $19.90; available in sizes 000–6X and 26 colors). Just FYI, the 7- and 9-inch inseams are the only lengths that go above XL/2XL sizes! Thigh Society is a small business specializing in size-inclusive undergarments and apparel. Promising reviews: "I had my doubts that these would work, and then Saturday it was a humid 84 degrees out and swamp butt was inevitable. Put these shorts on under my very thin dress because let’s be honest, if I could walk around naked, I would. And not once did the rubbing of my voluptuous thighs cause any kind of fricken or heat, and no swamp butt was to be had that day. I’m very glad I got three for rotation, but now I need to buy four more so that I can have one for every day of the week. Under my dresses, they are that good. Finally, someone got the swamp butt prevention right!!" —Jessica McColl, size 3XL/4XL "If it wasn't for the noticeable lack of chafing when I wear these, I'd forget I had them on. I'm a bigger girl, and they stay put! They don't roll up your legs or down at the waist. They are silky against the skin and comfortable in the heat, and I wouldn't wear a skirt without them. I'm buying more. Also works great over my under a bodycon dress. No added seams or bulk at all. 10/10" —Ryver, size XL/2XL Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, six lengths, and in 11 colors). Promising reviews: "Dress was a perfect fit. Wash on gentle and hang up to dry. Does not need Ironing. Runs a bit small. Perfect length. Fits well and has pockets. Nice design. Received several compliments on how cute and cheerful it looked." —Happy Grandmom & Grandpa, size 22 "I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS DRESS!! Such good quality material, so soft and so comfortable!! I got so many compliments and felt so beautiful. BUY IT!!!" —bee, size 20 Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes 16–24 Plus and 12 styles). Promising review: "I already have five pairs of these pants in different colors and am planning to get more. They are just amazing. If you are pregnant, postpartum, or just love the feeling of freedom, these pants are for you. They are amazing for playing with my toddler. They are amazing for the beach, yoga, pool party, shopping, and a billion other places with the correct combination. I love those pants; they are so comfortable. I am constantly receiving compliments. The only thing I definitely would recommend is not drying it in the dryer because it’s a natural material and it shrinks, but it also stretches back once you wash it and hang it to dry naturally." —Ekaterina Abramyan, size 16–20 Plus Get them from Amazon for $25.95 (available in a one-size model designed to fit sizes 0–14, sizes 16–20 Plus, and sizes 20–24 Plus; in 17 colors/prints). Promising reviews: "I LOVE these pencil skirts. I bought two, loved them so much, I went back for every color. Good quality fabric. Nice stretch. Comfortable to wear all day. Washes well. The zipper in the back is a definite plus." —Deborah H. "I really love the neoprene pencil skirts. I have about four or so...when they go on sale, I get one. It's strange I don't have a black one, and I think that's next. I usually order size 22/24, but I have started ordering 18/20. This skirt has a nice, comfortable two-inch elastic waistband. The printed ones offer the opportunity to choose different tops and give the skirt a whole nice change. You can dress it all the way up or down...love this skirt." —Groc Get it from Eloquii for $29+ (originally $64.95; available in sizes 14–32 and seven colors). Promising reviews: "The dress is very pretty, and it fits very well for my plus-size body type. I was super comfortable in it. I didn’t feel like it made me look frumpy, unlike some other dresses. Bought size 22, the chest is for larger breasts, so it was a little loose, but it didn’t collapse down if that makes sense to anyone." —Jonella, size 24 "This is probably one of my favorite dresses! I ordered it for a wedding. The color is beautiful! The fit is perfect for a plus-size girl like myself. I usually wear a size 14/16 in certain dresses. The 16 fit great!! I am 5’2, I will admit I should’ve had the dress hemmed about two inches because I tripped a few times. But nothing worth complaining about." —Shay Jackson, size 16 Get it from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in sizes 0–26 and in 18 colors). Promising reviews: "These jeans are great. So comfortable, true to size and fit perfectly. Love the update to the Seine fit with a straight leg. Inseam length is perfect, which is rare for me at 5'4"." —Brittany S., size 22 "These are my new go-to jeans. I want them forever." —Tiara "I love this fabric. It's a little lighter than regular jeans, and I'm looking forward to being a little more comfortable this spring. Using their fit guidelines, I found the perfect size. I love that the waist doesn't gape. When I think about how often I wear jeans, the price is great!" —Katharine H., size 16 Get them from Universal Standard for $128 (available in sizes 00–40 and four colors). Promising reviews: "I now have five different colors of this dress! I'm a size 26 and haven't felt more comfortable in my own skin like I do when I wear this! The absolute PERFECT dress for everything and everywhere! I get more compliments when I wear this dress more than anything else this diva owns!!!! The fabric is delicious, comfy, stretchy, and breathable, so it's an all-around WIN!!!!!!" —Natalee Goehring, size 24 Plus "This is a great dress to wear with a petticoat, which really gives some great volume to the skirt! I cannot say enough great things about this dress; it's so comfortable, the material has good stretch, and great drape. I usually wear shorts and a T-shirt to the parks, but I was every bit as comfortable in this dress. It's so light and drapey without being clingy! I've washed it several times, and there's been no fading...it dries beautifully and is wrinkle-free! I've also worn it to work several times and gotten so many compliments. Everyone thinks I'm so dressed up, but it's as comfortable as wearing PJs! If you are on the fence, just buy it, you will love it!" —Brittany, size 26 Plus Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes 14–26 and in 17 styles). Promising review: "I tried to wear other brands, but they just aren’t as good as these. The high-rise cotton has been my go-to for years. Please don’t ever take them away! My only request would be more color/pattern options." —Kate2424 "These are some super soft, ultra stretchy, breathable, great panties! I love how much room I have in them and how they hug and support everything below. They are so comfortable and airy that you forget you are wearing them. You will not be disappointed with these!" —Reviewer33 Get them from Lane Bryant for $35.50 (available in sizes 10/12–26/28 and seven styles). Promising reviews: "Perfect fit. So comfy and cute. I’ve had them for a while and washed them lazily, and they are still in great condition. Great quality and made to last. I would absolutely buy another pair!" —Chelsea Holman, size 4XL Plus "So cute! I bought them to wear to Disney with some of my Disney shirts. They are PERFECT. They are cool but don't seem to be see-through. The inseam isn't as long as the image makes it look, but it is a decent mid-length. I sized up, and I am glad I did. They do not stretch anywhere but the waistband. Even if I don't wear them at Disney, they will be cute for my kids' football/soccer/softball days... They are also perfect for lounging around. Overall, super cute!" —Brooke, size 4XL Plus Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL Plus and 15 styles). Promising reviews: "One of my favorite tops for the summer!! It goes with so many bottoms, it’s perfect for any occasion. I love them so much, I bought them in more colors." —Lauren P., size 1X "Incredibly stretchy and well-fitted. Super comfortable and can be worn in all seasons. Can be dressed up with a nice skirt or dressed down with capris or jeans. Worth the price! Going to buy in other colors." —Tiffany Riggleman, size 4X Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X, in 14 styles, and two-packs). Promising review: "I have bought many, many dresses from Amazon, and some of them were nice, some of them were complete misses. But I can tell you this is one of the rare times in my life where I actually felt beautiful in something like this. The fit is fantastic, and the fabric is great with a little bit of stretch. Overall, incredibly comfortable. Do yourself a favor and get this dress before it’s gone." —Gillian, size 20 Get it from Amazon for $27.54+ (available in sizes 14–24 Plus and seven colors). Of course, it does come with removable, convertible straps that are adjustable and can be worn in different ways to suit your outfit needs! Promising reviews: "The bra is very well made. It has silicone to help the bra stay in place. It has good coverage so you don't feel like you're gonna spill out with moment." —WVMoutainMama "A strapless bra that is actually comfortable!!!! I have been looking for a strapless bra for a while and could never find one that is comfortable. This one I can wear all day without it pitching or digging into me, and it keeps my boobs in place!!!!" —Annie0325 Get it from Torrid for $24.95+ (typically $49.90; available in band sizes 36–50 and cup sizes B–H; also in two colors). Promising reviews: "As a plus-size girl, I was verrrrry hesitant to get this kind of cut because my thighs normally rub together — but the fit is so perfect and stretchy! I definitely recommend." —Lauren H., size XXL "Love it, love the built-in bra, love that it's comfy. It will be my savior in summer in Australia cause I want my boobs off my belly and my legs to not have chub rub. Badabing, what an awesome product." —Suzie B., size 4XL "I am a plus-size babe with a large tummy, so I was very hesitant to try the bike unitard. I thought it was so cute, and finally, I let self-confidence win and bought it. Wow, do I feel like the cutest human on the planet when I am wearing the bike unitard! It is absolutely amazing. I wish there were bike shorts that came in the same inseam! The inseam of the bike unitard is a little shorter, and it is perfect." —Breanna D., size XXL Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $98 (available in sizes XXS–6XL and in four colors). And reviewers suggest you order a size down if you don't want a loose, oversize fit. Promising review: "I wear a 2/3X, and this dress fit me perfectly. It wasn’t tight but hugged me so I didn’t look like I was wearing a bag. The fabric feels very nice and isn’t see-through whatsoever. The pockets are a decent size, too. My iPhone 11 Pro Max fit perfectly into it. The straps seem to be sturdy, and I have no fear of them breaking. Very comfortable summer dress, get it!" —Kirsten Michelle Gloss, size XXL Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors). Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these! The fabric has amazing bounce back, so they keep their shape all day without getting baggy. They look so elegant and can easily be dressed up or down. They are comfortable enough to wear all day while still looking polished. I will definitely be ordering more colors! 💕" —Heather, size XXL "So comfortable! I like it so much I’m tempted to get it in every color. The price is so great for this outfit!!!" —EPW, size 4XL Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes L–4XL and 14 styles). Pro-tip from the reviewers: size up if you want a longer skirt! Promising reviews: "This skort is EVERYTHING!! I love it so much! I followed the size chart, which put me at a 2x, and it fits perfectly! The shorts are buttery soft, the waistband stays in place, which is so hard for me to find in activewear because everything wants to roll down on me, and the skirt seems to be pretty durable and softer than I expected. I also have gotten a ton of compliments on it! Overall, this skirt is a win, and I now want to collect it in every color!" —Austin M.F. "Super comfy, cute, and twirly! I’m normally an XL, but after reading some reviews and checking the size measurements, I decided to size up to a 1X, which was the right call. Also, the pockets are the deepest and comfiest I’ve ever had in all the athletic wear I’ve owned. Definitely worth the money!" —Catalina C. Get it from Pop Flex for $60 (available in sizes XXS–3X and 17 colors — not all colors available in all sizes). Promising reviews: “Being a plus-size girl, I’m always so nervous about buying clothes like this. Well, let me tell you — not only does it fit so well, but my confidence has soared! The material is amazing, and I keep getting so many compliments. DEF recommend!!" —Ann Kairo, size XXL "I ordered this originally in black and immediately went back to order it in another color after receiving and wearing it. I'm plus-sized, usually size 18. I often have trouble finding bodysuits that clasp and stay closed on me with that long torso. This one is incredible. It stays clasped, is incredibly comfortable, is double-lined and extremely supportive, so no need for any kind of bra (which is incredible for summer months!), and it's SO soft! I HIGHLY recommend this, and I plan to buy more colors as they go on sale. I legitimately will be wearing these constantly all throughout the summer months!" —Angie K., size XXL Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in sizes S–3XL and seven colors). Promising reviews: "First, thanks for making intimate, sexy, beautifully made pieces for us full-bodied women... I immediately decided to purchase the slip dress; I'm glad I did. It did not disappoint. It is so sleek, so sexy, great material... I love it and would recommend anyone thinking about purchasing it." —Brenda W., size 2X/3X "Initially, I bought this dress in another color in a sale, and I crossed my fingers when the package arrived. I am a 4X, or about a size 26, with ASOS and H&M. I was hopeful the dress would fit, but was unsure... However, I was proved wrong: I fit comfortably, and the dress kept its shape even after it was dried a few times in the dryer. Love this. So comfortable. I have gone from preferring nude sleeping to wearing this dress always." —Lesley C., size 4X/5X Get it from Skims for $88 (available in sizes XXS–4X). * If You Work In An Office, Here Are 27 Things You Can Wear When It’s Basically Too Hot Out For Clothes * Plus-Size Reviewers Are Obsessed With These 32 Fashion Pieces — And They're All Under $100 * Pieces Your Friends Will Be Longing To Borrow * Fashion Pieces So You Can Feel Free, Flowy, And Fabulous This Summer * Pieces That Check All The Best Summer Boxes: Breezy, Lightweight, And Colorful * If You Detest Shorts With Every Fiber Of Your Being, Try These 27 Lightweight Pants Instead Plus, finds from Lane Bryant, Madewell, Nordstrom, Quince, Target, and Walmart.
