I got an email from a friend of mine telling me about the local plus size retailer she is working for, Dare to Wear. They are a local mom and pop retail / wholesaler (yes both) with goth/ renaissance/ romantic style plus size clothing. Everything is made here is San Francisco.
They have several goth/ renassaince/ romantic styles that go up to a size 5X (and here is their Size 5X selection). I love that you can sort the clothes by size. I have not tried them yet, but I wanted to let you know about them because of my friend and because if you love this type of clothing, you know how hard it is to find in plus sizes.
Here is their Size Chart so you can see if it might fit. I think I would probably wear a 5X rather than my usual 4X, but I have not actually tried anything yet.
Update: I just heard from one of my readers:
I love their things and have purchased a few styles. I would say the sizes run at least one size smaller, so order up one size, and if it is form fitting then possibly two. Some of the fabrics are stretchy however.
They will be having sales this weekend so this would be a great time to check them out. I would love to hear from any of you about fit and how you like their clothes.
Peace…affinity
