If you asked me “hey Layne, what’s the funniest clothing label with plus sizes” I would somehow have an answer for you: Fashion Brand Company. FBC’s Moth Dress and Sex House sweater (a sweater with a house that says “Sex House” on it, pic 3) are inte...
Fashion Brand Company
Foxblood sells all black everything, literally. Great for goth and witchy (or just black) basics and foundation pieces. Most if not all garments up to size 4XL, but items sell out quick!
FOXBLOOD
A mix of boho and beachy basics and statement pieces—think Anthropologie and Gap mixed together vibes.

Organic Straight-Leg Pant — Everlane
Buttery soft bamboo fabric. Completely, utterly comfortable. I wish I could wear these all the time. I nearly do. The pockets, gently tapered leg, and subtle front pleats mean you *can* wear these with a pair of Docs and a crop top and look fantastic...

Exactly what you want in a bra-you-can-wear-as-a-crop-top. Supportive, comfortable, great length, and *never* rides up thanks to the grip band on the bottom! I have broad, muscular shoulders + a size 38D cup and this bra makes my whole upper body loo...
Colette Halter Bra — Girlfriend Collective
Supremely supportive and incredibly comfortable bra! No underwire, comfortable cups, back is smoothing, and straps are perfect width: wide enough to provide high support comfortably, but not so wide as to ruin outfits. These are staple, go-to bras; I...
Crossover Bra — Honeylove
Super soft bamboo fabric lounge bra! Definitely not for when you need a lot of support, but extremely comfortable. Available up to 4XL.
