DEPARTMENT STORES
Plus-Size Designer Clothing Shopping

 The major department stores across the U.S.A. are known for stocking a diverse range of labels and brands that change frequently.  Many times plus-size collections are available only in select brick and mortar locations, while much deeper inventories are available on-line.

Designer and celebrity diffusion lines at moderate price points are the best represented at department stores in extended sizes with only a very few limited labels available at higher prices points in true women's plus size ranges.  More frequent at the higher price points are misses extended sizes beyond 12 to a 14,16, and occasionally 18, 20.

Shoppers will find designers stocked by well known, trusted department stores listed throughout our shopping guides, with the designer name included in the description for reference. Some of the most popular include MICHAEL Michael Kors, LAUREN Ralph Lauren, Vince Camuto, Marina Rinaldi, and Lafayette 148.

Keep in mind that extended misses and women's plus sizing may at first glance be the same, but misses sizing tends to run slightly smaller and is cut to fit hour glass to pear shapes better than rounder apple body types.  Always check size charts, especially if a label is an upscale European designer.
