Finding plus size clothing isn't necessarily hard anymore.
Finding plus size clothing that actually feels special? That's a different story.
If you've ever searched for a plus size clothing store only to find the same basic tops, oversized sweaters, and shapeless dresses over and over again, you know exactly what I mean.
One of the reasons I've always wanted My Pampered Life Seattle to carry extended sizing is because style shouldn't suddenly become boring after a certain size.
I love clothes with personality — romantic details, pretty florals, interesting sleeves, gorgeous textures, denim that makes an outfit, and pieces that have that slightly unexpected boutique feel.
And that's exactly what I look for when I'm choosing our plus size styles.
Plus Size Fall Clothing Doesn't Have to Mean Oversized Everything
Fall is probably my favorite season to dress for because you can finally start layering again.
But somewhere along the way, plus size fall fashion became synonymous with covering everything up.
No thank you.
Instead, I look for pieces that give you options.
Think:
- flowy floral dresses with boots
- textured blouses with your favorite denim
- relaxed cardigans layered over feminine tops
- jackets that add shape and interest
- wide-leg pants paired with a more fitted top
- soft romantic details like lace, ruffles, embroidery and pretty prints
You can absolutely be comfortable without disappearing underneath your clothes.
What I Look for When Choosing Plus Size Clothing for the Boutique
I don't want a separate "plus size look."
I want the same feeling throughout the boutique.
If something fits the romantic, country chic or cottage-inspired style I love, I want to find it in as many sizes as I reasonably can.
That means I'm usually looking for silhouettes that are feminine without being fussy and pieces that can be styled more than one way.
I'm also a huge believer in buying clothes for your actual life.
A gorgeous dress is wonderful, but so is the top you throw on with jeans and immediately feel better in.
Those everyday pieces matter.
Fall Is the Perfect Time to Try Something New
If you've gotten into the habit of buying the same styles because you know they'll fit, fall is a really easy season to experiment.
Start with one thing.
Maybe it's a romantic blouse instead of your usual basic top.
Maybe it's a floral midi dress with a denim jacket.
Maybe it's wide-leg denim instead of the same skinny jeans you've owned forever.
Or maybe it's simply adding a beautiful cardigan, handbag or statement layer to clothes you already have.
You don't need an entirely new wardrobe to change how your wardrobe feels.
Where to Shop Plus Size Boutique Clothing Online — From Seattle & Beyond
There are obviously plenty of places to shop for women's plus size clothing online, but shopping a boutique is a little different.
I'm not trying to give you 4,000 choices.
I'd rather find the pieces that make me stop scrolling and think, Okay, THAT is cute.
That's the whole point of My Pampered Life Seattle.
Even though we're an online boutique today, our roots are right here in the Seattle area. MPL began as a brick-and-mortar boutique in Sumner, Washington, and I've kept Seattle in our name because it's part of our story.
So if you're searching for plus size clothing in Seattle but want something beyond the usual basics, we're another place to look — whether you're local to the Pacific Northwest or shopping from somewhere across the country.
It's a collection of things I genuinely love: romantic dresses, country-inspired pieces, cottagecore styles, great denim, beautiful layers and those slightly unusual finds you don't see everywhere.
And yes, that includes plus size clothing.
Because great style doesn't stop at XL.
Asked & Answered
Where can I shop for plus size clothing in Seattle?
My Pampered Life Seattle is a Seattle-area online women's boutique offering plus size and size-inclusive clothing alongside our regular-size collections. We specialize in feminine, romantic, country chic and cottage-inspired styles and ship throughout the United States, so you can shop with us whether you're here in Washington or across the country.
Where can I find stylish plus size clothing online?
Look for an online boutique that offers more than basic or oversized styles. At My Pampered Life Seattle, I look for plus size clothing with the same personality as the rest of the boutique — pretty florals, romantic details, interesting sleeves, great denim, beautiful layers and pieces that feel a little different from what you'll find everywhere else.
What should I look for when shopping for plus size clothing online?
Pay attention to measurements and fit information rather than relying only on the size printed on the tag, since sizing can vary between brands. Most importantly, look for clothing that fits your personal style and works with pieces you already own. Being available in your size shouldn't be the only reason something earns a place in your closet.
Does plus size clothing have to be loose to be flattering?
Absolutely not. Flattering style is about proportion, fit, comfort and how you feel in what you're wearing — not hiding your body underneath oversized clothing. Try mixing silhouettes, such as a flowy romantic blouse with more structured denim or wide-leg pants with a more fitted top.
What are some easy plus size outfit ideas for fall?
Fall is perfect for layering pieces you can wear in different ways. Try a floral dress with boots and a denim jacket, a romantic blouse with your favorite jeans, or a soft cardigan layered over a feminine top. You can also bring fall into your wardrobe through richer prints, texture and a great statement jacket without buying an entirely new wardrobe.
What sizes does My Pampered Life Seattle carry?
My Pampered Life Seattle carries women's clothing in a range of sizes, with many styles available in extended and plus sizes up to 3X. Sizing varies by brand and individual style, so always check the size and fit information on the product page before ordering.
