Use Custom and Semi-Custom Clothing for a Perfect Fit
Retail and online stores are offering more and more great plus-size fashion, but there’s one more way to get amazing outfits: custom and semi-custom clothing.Altering Clothes
As you get into fatshion, you might find yourself buying a sewing machine and learning to take in a killer pencil skirt or turn maxi dresses into skirts.
There are lots of resources out there on altering clothes to fit. Here’s a good place to start.
Buying Custom and Semi-Custom
If you don’t sew, don’t stress!
Thanks to Etsy.com, a website dedicated to handmade and vintage wares, custom clothing is now available at reasonable prices. For people who are larger or shorter than the norm, this is absolute magic.
Some sellers will accommodate requests for plus-size versions of their straight-sized lines, but your best bet is to do a search for the type of clothing you want and the word “custom.”
Here are some tips for buying from Etsy sellers:
- Check the item’s description to see whether the seller makes items in your size. Not all custom items are available in all sizes.
- Use the body measurements you took earlier so the seller can tell how to best fit you.
- What’s the return policy? Can you send it back for alterations if it doesn’t fit?
- Does this seller have experience making plus-size items?
- Like eBay, you can check a seller’s feedback to see how their previous customers feel.
Here are some Etsy shops that specialize in custom sizing to get you started:
- Tasi Fashion— Elegant work and casual wear
- By Ro Designs— Swimwear designed for plus sizes
- Ureshii— More lovely elegant designs
- Kioskofoli— Vintage-inspired footwear
- RedThreaded— Costumes and historical gear
- DecadentDesignz— Edgy and fetish clothing
- Sandmaiden Sleepwear — Lingerie and sleepwear
XOXO,
