Plus-size Pin-Up clothing

[Page Against The Machine]

I know that Cameo Intimates sells foxy bullet bras and other piece of lingerie in sizes for the softer ladies, but where do you other plus size girls get your pin-up/rockabilly wear?

Vivien of Holloway caters for all sizes! Check out the dresses etc online

Girdlebound.com sells quite a few item for plus-sized women, and pinupgirlcolthing.com carries some items up to 2x.

I've been looking for sites that are fit more for plus size. I've never had to shop in plus size then I went to pin up clothing sites and they had nothing near my body type lol. My one concern is buying something online then recieving it and its still not fitting.
I know of a store here that at some times has some really nice pin up style clothing but it really depends on which branch of the store you go to and what time of year. But its called Torrid and its in most malls around St. Louis and Seattle, so i'm sure its in other states as well.

there's one in michigan, but none in canada ta all. i have seen some interesting things in that store, and compared to canadian plus size stores the prices seem to be fantastic. i find most of the rockabilly and pin up type stuff is more on their website and even then it's mostly corset style halters covered in cherries and that's about it haha. but yeah as far as non internet stores that's the best i've seen so far to cater to my size and particular style.

Same thing here. I have gone from one Torrid directly to another after I found nothing and the second actually had more stylish pin up style clothing. I know of a few stores around here that have really cute Pin Up style clothing and every now and then actually have them in my size, but they are just local stores not chains.

Usually I buy a size up from my real size as the 1940's fit are so small. I gotta check out some of these places to get me some new clothes! haha!

secretsinlace.com is great and so is girdlebound.com!

This is a great topic! I live in georgia and everything clothing wise around here is redneck or ghetto, so I have to travel if I'm going to go somewhere to try things on or order on line which I'm sketchy about!

I also like www.alight.com. They seem to have some nice things on their site, but i've never ordered anything.

I also have a tip that helps me decide what to buy when I'm buying online. I go by my measurements and order the clothes that match up. Most sites have the sizes and measurements for their garments. The trick is making sure you know your true measurements. There are plenty of tutorials on line to help you find out this information. Here is an example from pinupgirlclothing.com:

thanks for posting this. it's true about shopping online and needing to know ALL of your measurements. you also need ot take into consideration the type of fabric it is. i know certain fabrics look great with ym body shape and the same shirt made with a different fabric can just look f****** terrible.

That's true too! I wish there were more retro or vintage stores in the south, but to buy the style of clothes I want I usually have to buy online.
