Sales!

With the end of winter in site, and more people buying up clothes in preparation for spring, end-of-season sales are here.  I'll list some of the best sales from the best plus size sites and designers (in no particular order).

Jean Marc Philippe - He might just be the coolest plus-size designer you've never heard about.  He's French, and his designs are funky, unique, and a little bit punk.  Sales up to 70% off.  The site has a very basic English translated version, with categories translated into English but not images.  To find your size, scroll to the bottom under "concerne" and click on size guide.


Anna Scholz - This UK plus-size designer is high-fashion, and high price, but her winter sales may put some of her items in the Affordable range, like the $69.96 Jersey and Silk Fringe Top, $49.75 Print Jersey Leggings, or $73.07 Stretch Tailoring Corset Top.

Dorothy Perkins - Another UK designer; her clothing goes up to size 22UK, or 20US.  For those in the US unfamiliar with her, think an Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Mod Cloth type aesthetic, but in sizes that include curvy girls, not just the up-to-size-12 crowd.  Her style is fun, fresh, and retro.


Lane Bryant - The most well known and possibly oldest US plus-size clothing company (I've actually seen copies of their ads from the 30s when they were for "Stout" women).  One of my favorite stores to shop at - their clothes are the perfect mix of seasonal trends and classic style.  Their Clearance is a bit hidden; hover over "on sale" and click on "clearance" to get to the really marked down stuff.

La Redoute - A french brand with some really great plus styles; that's their UK site.  Sadly, they only deliver within the UK or the other countries that they have a website for, but if you live in the UK, take advantage; La Redoute is high style and low price.

Roaman's - A great plus size catalog company, and the only source of La Redoute clothing in the US.  Check out their Clearance selection.  Like Lane Bryant, they carry a mix of trendy and classic clothing.

One Stop Plus - A sister site to Roaman's, it carries a selection of clothing from tons of different brands, including Torrid and Avenue.  Very convenient.

ASOS curve - Their sales are amazingly cheap, and they're so, so stylish.  I've mentioned them on this blog a couple times.  One of the trendiest plus size clothing sites I've found yet.  Free shipping.

New Look Inspire - A UK site with great trendy styles and low prices.  For some reason there's no way to view their plus size clearance alone (clicking on "inspire sale" only brings up 18 items but if you just look through their items you'll see there's many more than that).  I recommend just checking the box for your size, going by item type, and sorting from low-high.  They have items as low as 3 pounds ($4.68)!

Yours - A UK plus size site.  Click on the US flag at the top to change the currency to USD, and when you're looking at an item, click on the British flag next to the size selection to change sizes to US.  They have a HUGE selection of clearance in some of the coolest styles, like jumpsuits and maxi dresses for only $15, or super cute and sexy undies for $5 and bras for $8.  The only drawback is that you can't narrow results by size.


Addition Elle, MXM* & Penningtons - These three main Canadian plus size stores are sister-sites with a combined shopping bag and shipping.  (BTW, the Canadian dollar is worth $1.01 USD.  Do you remember the good old days where you could go to Canada and feel like a rich person once you changed your money?  Oh, how times have changed, lol.)

Wallis - Super cute clothes, bright colors and funky patterns characterize this UK brand.  Like Dorothy Perkins, it is technically a "straight size" store that goes up to size UK22/US20.  BTW, super fantastic deal: a super cute swimsuit for only 5 pounds that's in a size UK22.

Carmakoma - US customers will have to weigh sales discounts against a 20-euro outside-Denmark shipping fee, but I love their styles.  They're worth a look, you just might fall in love with something.  Also, although it's a plus size site, their clothes don't go up to very large sizes - they range from approximately a US12-US22.  I guess Danes don't get very large.

Saks 5th Avenue Salon Z -If you've got discerning tastes, Saks is the place to go.  Their "Salon Z" is probably the best online selection of high-end plus clothing.  Their clothes are still expensive, even on sale, but you might just find something you can afford from a designer you love.
