SWAK has grown considerably the last few years. One of their coolest items is their convertible dresses. If you need a lot of bang for your buck, I suggest trying one of these bad boys out. They even have YouTube videos showing you how to get different styles with the one dress. The only issue I have with them is that they tend to stick with the same types of fabric.

A lot of us are quick to discount Avenue because it is known for its matronly styles. Why waste time if you never find anything, right? Wrong. Avenue is great for jeans on a price point a little lower than most. I even find great wide width shoes there from time to time. If you take the time out to look, you may find something with a little sass!

With a smaller collection than others, this store corners the niche market of the more formal clothing for the plus size gals. If you need a cocktail dress, this is the place to start! Oh, and there is a lot of lace so you know I'm in.

IGIGI also has quite a few nice classic cocktail dresses. Most of their items are very classic, but very good quality. Need an inexpensive wedding dress? They've also got a few of those. Seriously, look at this beauty!

Self professed "unique & cute" clothing retailer ModCloth has a little something for everyone. Their fun and playful clothes are a bit of a breath of fresh air in the plus size world, really. Id describe them as your Grandma's clothes but in style. Hipster chic, maybe? A little dash of pin-up? Definitely worth looking into!

I'm including ON just because they fit into the extended range category. Know that I am displeased with them. They lost my voting dollars when they pulled plus sizes out of stores a few years ago (the anger is so real). ON is known for their lack of quality, but they do have hella sales if you're looking for budget friendly.

Jessica London is definitely not fashion forward, but they do have a lot of great basics. Sometimes you get lucky and find a special piece, like a great classic coat or staple skirt you can pull out to wear again and again. I have a simple black dress from JL that really looks great on. Simple yet totally chic when accessorized properly.

Dont be scared of the prices listed in pounds (not weight, currency -__-). They do ship to the states and the prices really arent bad when translated into dollars. They have amazing sales and definitely have a great selection of trendier clothes than found in most stores that carry the 30-34 size range.

I know you're yelling at me right now for giving LB a 7, but seriously they have stepped their game up. You will pay a bit more for the trendier brands there (i.e. Isabel Toledo and 6th and Lane) but it is so worth it!

Not all of their items go up to a size 28, but they just started adding some pants and skirts above their listed size 24. If all goes well they will extend the love into other items. The price point is a touch higher, but you pay for their quality. It is essentially The Limited for the fat girls.

Torrid was once the most raved about in the plus community, but now with other options becoming available, they are falling a bit behind mostly because of quality and what I like to call recycled styles. They do have a lot of good options, amazing sales and they are certainly young and trendy. My personal fav is their Stiletto Skinny jeans. Hands down my favorite jean ever. I talk about them here.

Evans, originally a UK brand, has a pretty good selection to offer. They carry apparel, and a fair range of shoes, jewelry and intimates. Mostly classic pieces, but if you ever need a polished looking dress, the Little Mistress brand they carry has them on lock.

SimplyBe has a lot of clothes to pick from. You definitely have to search for the trendy pieces, but when you find them, its worth it! Oh and can we talk about their shoe selection? If you have super wide feet, they carry EEE fit, which is even a little too wide for my wide feet in my usual size.

Asos Curve does carry up to a US size 26 (28 in some items) but they fit much larger depending on the cut. Never be afraid to try something because a size isnt what you want. For an example of Asos on a larger than size 26 body, check this video. I cannot tell you how much I l-o-v-e this store.
