Read More When a reviewer says they’ve ordered multiple pairs, you should probably get one too! 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 review: "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 on to a family reunion in American Samoa and it will be perfect for the weather. 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 Get it from Amazon for $32.38+ (available in sizes S–3XL and nine colors). 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 washes. They stretch the perfect amount. Hands down best jeans, especially if you’re plus size." —Jessica F., size 26 Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 14–26, three inseams, and 23 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 $26.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 29 colors/patterns). BTW, some plus-size reviewers mention sizing up for a proper fit! Promising reviews: "This is a very pretty print that works well with many colors. But not a loud print. I am plus-size/chesty, and it fits fine. It dressed up in jeans and a white T-shirt on vacation. I plan on wearing it to work over tank tops during our hot weather. It will look dressy with some jewelry or casual with shorts." —David & Laura Orcutt, size 4XL "I bought two of these sheer jackets to give me some extra coverage when I'm wearing a sleeveless dress or tank top. I am in love with them. One of them seems a little larger than the other one that I bought, but both fit perfectly. I could make an entire wardrobe out of these. I am a plus-size woman, and these give me coverage without appearing bulky or like a caftan. The prints are gorgeous. Highly recommend!" —Lisa S., size XL Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 49 colors/prints). 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 it from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and seven styles). Promising reviews: "This instantly became my favorite bra, which is a shock. I am very large-chested and usually need something with a lot of holding power. This was purchased since it was cute, but it's also really functional! My boobs don't feel heavy in it. The straps are comfy, and everything stays in place. Great purchase!!" —Mandie, 40DDD "I love this bra! I am 136 pounds and wear a 34F/34DDD, and this bra is so supportive. And it makes my boobs look good, too, which is a plus because some bras make your boobs look weird, lol. This bra is so comfortable, too, and it has three hooks instead of two, which is a big deal for me. I’ll definitely buy more." —Chelsea Belcher, 34DDD Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in band sizes 32–42 and cup sizes C–DDD; and six colors). Promising review: "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 Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes 16–24 and 10 styles). 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, 250lbs, curvy, large busted, 5'5" with a long torso. 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 eight colors). Promising reviews: "OK, I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical about these pants. I hate buying clothes online without trying them on first, but the reviews here said that they run true to size, so I trusted them. I am SO GLAD that I did. These pants are everything I ever wanted. Make my butt look cute? Check. No nasty zipper to dig into my gut? Check. Perfect length for any season? Check. I can wear these with a cute blouse as a teacher, and still look professional, while still being comfortable. I feel comfortable wearing these basically any time, and I think that if you're lacking a pair of them and thinking about it, you should go get a pair. They're AMAZING." —AlySedai, size 18 "I don’t usually write reviews; however, I think it’s important for plus-size people to come together and take the time to write reviews because clothing can be a nightmare to buy. I just finished my first day wearing these pants, and I’ll likely buy another pair. They fit as expected. I believe I got a 24. I’m 5’5” and 270 pounds. They do not squeeze me in any way that becomes upsetting overtime even when I’m sitting. They seem to hold their shape all day, and best of all, no buttons and good pockets. The last thing on the list is how they hold up to thigh rub. But that takes time to determine. These are nice, pretty affordable, comfortable pants for a plus-size person." —Sonny, size 24 Plus Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in sizes 16–28 Plus, three inseams, and five styles). 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 for ironing. :)" —Lisa H. Get it from Eloquii for $29+ (originally $59.95; available in sizes 14–32 and 14 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 like some other dresses do. 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 $69.99 (available in sizes 0–26 and in 16 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 $49.90 (available in band sizes 36–50 and cup sizes B–H; also in two colors). BTW, reviewers mention these are super long, so you might need to cuff or hem them! Promising reviews: "Amazing for mid- and plus-size! I love these pants — I got many compliments. Comfortable and classy." —Kristen Powell, size XXL "I cannot wait to buy more in different colors. It is super nice to wear during the hot summer months. Got many compliments." —Brittnie, size XXL Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 28 colors/prints). 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 $35.99+ (available in sizes 14–24 and seven colors). Promising review: "The picture convinced me to order. I am 5'11", 200 pounds, and 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 Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in sizes M/L–5XL/6XL, 14 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 inbuilt 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 I 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). Promising review: "I Love this outfit! I may purchase all colors. I have gotten so many compliments and forwarded the information to others. It is comfortable, true to size, and can be dressed up or down. When I wore this on vacation to Bali, and I got lots of compliments." —Lisa M. Green, size 3XL Get it from Amazon for $22.49 (available in sizes S–3XL and 15 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 HeyShape Bodysuit 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). 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: "I am 5’3”, 230 pounds, and carry more weight in my midsection. The XL plus fits me perfectly and feels like a true 1X size. I did have to wear a strapless bra with it, or else bra straps would be sticking out. The slit came a little high up on my leg for my tastes since I’m short, but nothing a safety pin couldn’t quickly change. Good quality and just as it’s pictured." —Katie, size XL "This is my new favorite dress. I bought it for a cruise as just a day dress. The moment I put it on, I knew it was so much more. Perfect for a nice expensive restaurant or a day out in the sun. It's sooooo comfortable, and it flows perfectly. I feel like a goddess in it. The material is soft and sturdy. The top is not binding and hides bra straps while being good for bigger busts. I'm in love with this dress." —Jen Dart, size 4XL Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes L–3XL and five 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, and they fit just fine, but 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 love these. They are soft and hug the body. Colors are amazing. Size gives ample room for bust and tummy. Plus, wearing these under your favorite button-up or sheer top adds a pop of color." —StarShine662, size 2 Get it from Torrid for $6.39+ (originally $19.90; available in sizes 000–6X and 18 colors). Promising reviews: "I LOVE these pencil skirts. I brought 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). BTW, some plus-size reviewers mention sizing up! Promising reviews: "This is a must for all my plus-sized peeps. They are super comfy. Not too tight, deep pockets, and they prevent chub rub. I sized up one from my regular size, though." —Katie Kelley, size XXL "As a plus-size girlie, I find it hard to find shorts that fit correctly and are comfortable. I’ve bought five pairs of these. They are amazing. They hold up nicely in the washer and dryer. Buy them!" —Stacey Lundell, size 3XL Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, three inseams, and 19 colors). BTW, reviewers mention sizing up if you're tall or want an oversized fit! Promising reviews: "Ordered by my hip measurements. I'm normally a 2X but ordered this in a 3X. Perfect fit for me. If you're also plus-size and want an oversize pair of overalls, these may not be for you, but I love them." —Mary, size 3XL "Fun! Overalls are difficult as a plus-size person, but this fit. I'm still working on the 'styling', but I THINK I pulled them off yesterday. They fit around the waist/ trunk but are loose around the top. Luckily the straps are adjustable so there is so wiggle room and flexibility. My only suggestion for improvement is in the legs. The length is a bit odd on me. It looks better when folded, but won't stay folded. I wish there was a button or strap to help hold. Overall happy with the purchase though and would recommend for others!" —Tana Nicole Hall, size 3XL Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S—3XL and five colors). Promising review: "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 other brands. These are all I buy anymore!" —Bill S Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in band sizes 34–50, cup sizes B–H, and in 11 colors). Promising review: "I was tired of buying pants that fit but were too heavy for summer. These pants are true to size (don't size up), comfortable and reasonably priced. They are a bit long (I am 5 foot 2 inches) yet I "could" get away with them with a wedge before altering. They are lightweight and pretty. Wear them casually with a tee or dressy with a blouse." —Tracey B33, size 3X Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in sizes L–6X and 45 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 $33.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and in 18 styles). Promising reviews: "First, thanks for making intimate, sexy, beautifully made pieces for us full-bodied women of which I am one... 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 about the dress fitting, but was unsure... However, I was proved wrong, fit comfortably well, and the dress kept its shape even after it was dried a few times in a 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 and two classic colors). Promising review: "These wide leg pants are soooo comfortable. They are soft and fit well. They come up to the waist and are not sheer at all. The material is a light to medium weight. They are the closest thing to pajamas while looking very sheik. They washed and dried well without shrinkage. I washed them in cold water and the delicate cycle. I wore them with a T-shirt and a pink lace jacket. They looked very dressy, but it feels like I’m wearing pajamas because they are so comfortable and very soft." —Jossie4016, size 3XL Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 45 colors). Promising review: "Love these shirts! I like that they don’t cling to my body!! I’ve been wearing them for a couple of months now, and they still look new!" —Amanda Kamps, size 1X Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and 39 styles). Promising review: "This is my second one, because the first one I ordered was just the ticket. Both 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 Get it from Amazon for $30.39+ (available in sizes 14–26 and 11 colors). And reviewers suggest you order a size down if you don't want a loose, oversized 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 $23.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors). * Just 32 Great Pieces That Won’t End Up In The Back Of Your Closet * Matching Sets That’ll Become Your Daily Uniform This Summer * Just 31 Going Out Clothing Pieces That You Won’t Want To Peel Off The Moment You Put 'Em On * Backless Tops And Dresses For Those Who Prefer Business In The Front And A Party In The Back * Just 31 Basic Things You'll Want In Your Summer Wardrobe * Pairs Of Pants From Amazon For Anyone Who Refuses To Wear Dresses, Skirts, Or Shorts This Summer Plus, finds from Amazon, Free People, Gap, Lane Bryant, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Torrid, and Walmart.
