There has been a ton of questions regarding where to find inexpensive and cute plus size clothing,so I thought it would be a good time to post a list of stores.

I know that lane bryant has some differently shaped jeans for differently shaped fat bodies, does anyone else have suggestions?
We got lots of suggestions from people, so I thought I’d consolidate ‘em all in one post for ease!
rawkabilly says: for person asking about plus-sized swimsuits: they are still expensive but they are pretty and all the people I know with them love them: http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Swimwear
It’s a bit limited but I hear their stuff is good. I hope that helps!

they are around $60 and they have some that are on sale. Some of them do look old lady-ish but a lot of them are really cute. this one can definitely be a head turner.
kittypirateship says: I got a really, really cute one-piece from Torrid. Granted, it cost about 70 bucks (which I think is insane), but it’s worth it. It’s the first (and only) bathing suit I’ve had that I actually find myself to look cute in.
elyseexplosion says: The biggest problem I’ve had with Old Navy bathing suits I found is that they are for gals with much smaller chests than me - and I have a DD cup. I also like the bathing suits at Target, but they don’t offer much more support up top.
anon says: Target, Kohls, and Torrid all have cute swimsuits too! :)
libbydougherty says: ASOS plus has awesome ones. Walmart has the GORGEOUS red bathing suit that is both straight and plus size I believe and its only 30 bucks and has gotten awesome reviews. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Shape-Solutions-by-Catalina-Women-s-Shirred-Halter-Swimsuit/15149481
Old navy is also good, but not my favorite.
ihavesubtitlingonlife says: They actually have some really great plus-sized suits at Walmart right now. I got a great pin-up style suit for $30.
fatfashionandpenguins says: Well I am small chested C cup and I wear Targets Maternity swimsuits. I love them. I have a long torso and a big tummy (size 20/22) and the XXL swimsuits fit GREAT. And they are usually way cuter than the plus size bathing suits. If you have bigger boobs try them on. Also they are reasonably priced. But the stores have a better selection than online.
I’ll add more responses if we get them, so watch this post if you’re interested! :)
I can’t believe I haven’t spent more time looking at fatshionista on LiveJournal. They’ve got an unbelievable page full of helpful links for various plus-size fashions, size acceptance, etc. Go spend some time checking out all that fatshionista has to offer.

Wow. This list is…. comprehensive, to say the least! For everyone who keeps asking about places to shop online, look no further.
In addition to the given suggestions I would like to add Cato’s if they are available where you are they have one store with two sides: one plus one “needs a sandwich” ;-) They are very affordable. Also the Avenue can be when they have a sale. (Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to reply to the question). THANK YOU TO WHOEVER STARTED THIS SITE. :)
If you’re near the NYC area I suggest going to Re/Dress which is fabulous. Followers any other suggestions?
