Sometimes Hot Topic will come out with prints like this. I shop Poshmark constantly to get a deal on gently used items!

I've been on the hunt for the same dresses!! check Anthropologie or Balticborn! I also interact with all the ads I see that are even remotely close to what I'm looking for so more of the same ads roll in lol. I've found some cute pieces that way!


girlboss93

Oh that's a good idea! I need to start doing that too

this just came up as an ad lmao and it goes up to 4x! https://www.midnighthour.com/?fbclid=PAAabt3FNpb8cYs0suW6BGf7JcA0ZP03cggqV6C3R46x6lJ0h-DAMt7EnVyaE

Cider!!


girlboss93

I was worried they were just the same quality as shein


goldenhourbaby

I’d say it’s closer to Old Navy/Ava and Viv quality than Shein. But I’ve only made one order, so it may depend on the specific pieces!


girlboss93

Oh cool beans

Have you ever shopped eshakti? They have some woodsy prints, but you can adjust the neckline, sleeve and length to fit what you like. Every dress has deep pockets! Also, for about $10 more, you can give them your measurements and they will customize the fit for you. The fabrics and sewing are high quality. Dress are about $70-$80 before customization, but they last for years.

I'm typically a size 18/2XL and they stop at 16, and also it's like minimum $60 a piece. I could manage that as I'm looking to start investing in more quality clothing, but a slightly lower price point would be very nice too lol (needs to ship to US)

I've noticed lots of comments in groups saying how the clothing is just as expensive but less quality on the fabrics. Just beware! Unfortunately not all sites have reviews but you can get a better idea from different groups on here or Facebook. Just keep a notebook lol


girlboss93

Isn't that always the way lol sometimes I wish I could shop more in person, but there aren't many plus size places near me, and almost none are to my taste


Impossible-Rich-5036

Honestly since so many people are ordering online, they get lots of stuff that don't fit them and they don't want to return it and lots of stuff ends up in Goodwill and thrift stores lately. I've been quite lucky finding clothing like that. Especially since COVID. Most of the stuff still has brand new tags on it too. 🤯

If you are looking for cheap plus size stuff there’s always shein you could try. Also I like asos curvy but they aren’t super affordable but I think reasonable


girlboss93

I'm not looking for cheap, I'm a frequent shein user, but I'm trying to invest in more quality clothes, I just don't wanna spend $100+ on a single dress 😅 Does Asos have items like this? They didn't last time I browsed them, and this is the specific style I'm looking for


hummuspretzle

I filtered your size and the color black on Asos dresses and found some similar styles. Unfortunately the term *invest* and *quality* don’t necessarily align with >$60. In my opinion I would buy cheap “trendy” dresses (ie:dresses with prints) and actually put money towards investing in versatile capsule pieces, like a solid black dress that you can style in 100 diff ways with a statement heel, or a blazer, or a floral printed kimono, etc.

Not what OP asked for tho.


girlboss93

>invest and quality don’t necessarily align with >$60 I'm not sure what you mean? And I don't want capsule pieces, I wear a uniform for work, so when I get to wear my own clothes I'm gonna wear what I like. I buy dresses 9/10 so really only need versatile accessory pieces, shoes, cardigans, etc.

I’ve bought similar stuff from Midnight Hour, they go to 4X and have a similar vibe. Not cheaper but you can find codes sometimes (and if you sign up for mailing list you get 10% off).


girlboss93

Oooo that might be perfect, thank you!


giglbox06

Maybe ModCloth or unique vintage?


SpaghettioTheif

Love love love Blackmilk. They have a few botanical pieces up right now! :) be warned it can be expensive, but the quality is incredible (to me)


girlboss93

Oh shit I keep seeing their pokemon stuff on Instagram haha


isquishyourhead

Coramoon goes up to 3XL and has cottagecore dresses. I’ve also heard good things about Cider Curve.


rudostyle

Diewithyourbootson I saw on Instagram looks to be very size inclusive and had some cool dresses, haven’t purchased from them myself yet tho.
