17
items Recommendations of clothing stores and brands with women’s sizes 8-18 in mind. Finding clothing that’s cute AND in stock can be challenging at times. This list includes brands that are consistently both - unless marked otherwise!
Abercrombie has come a long way since the 1990s. It is now size inclusive and find most pieces to be good quality, flattering and long lasting!
Abercrombie & Fitch
Great clothing line at Target! Breathable pieces, good mix of trendy and classic items. Runs up to size XXL.
JoyLab products at Target
The variety is a bit overwhelming, and I feel like I’ve aged out of many items. I do love that they have a Curve line that offers cute items to items sizes 14+.
Fashion Nova
I love me some Free People! Only advisory is sizing can be off. I once ordered a L/XL tank that fit my 8 year old daughter! However, most items are true to size and fit as expected.
Free People
Great selection of sizes and often run sales. The location at Clay Terrace has made my returns and exchanges easy in the past, which is assuring especially if you’re in between sizes and don’t have time to try on in store!
Old Navy
This is another brand that is at Target. It’s geared more toward a younger audience; however, the pieces that are all-ages friendly are so good! Priced well and usually pretty durable. Goes up to size XXL and Target usually has larger sizes in stock ...

Half of my wardrobe this fall comes from Altar’d State! Beautiful items and they offer military discount to active/veterans if you shop in store.
Altar'd State Fashion Mall at Keystone
I have been a fan of American Eagle outfitter clothing since the 90s! The only article of clothing that I cannot fully recommend are the leggings because even though they are soft, I found that they pull very easily when my thighs were chubbier. Ever...
American Eagle
Anrabess is a brand on Amazon. It is difficult to know what brands are worth the spend with all of the brands online, but this one I found to be good quality, usually good color selections and size inclusive for the midsize gang. :)
Anrabess
Starting to branch more into boutique shopping and found this one online, although they have a shop here in Fishers, Indiana. Beautiful selection of items, typically run sizes S-L so would recommend this for up to size 12 for clothes, and then to all...
BluePeppermint
VS still reigns supreme when it comes to undergarments that elevate my confidence. Several cuts, colors and styles offered. Frequent sales and promo codes. Will always love this store!
Victoria's Secret
Indianapolis and sports go hand in hand. Of course I’m a regular on Fanatics for my Colts, Pacers and Fever gear. Thankfully, sizes usually go up to XL or XXL so we midsize ladies can show off our home team pride!
Fanatics
Great store! A little higher for my usual price range, but they tend to have frequent sales. I love that they sell women’s, men’s and children’s clofhing. I shop here for class photos or anytime our family needs to look coordinated.
vineyard vines
This brand stands the test of time! I’ve always found something that fits, no matter how much my body had grown or shrunk!
Nike Keystone
When I was at my heaviest, nothing made me feel more beautiful than Fabletics’ skort dress in light blue! Flattering cuts for women of all sizes. Usually good deals with membership!
Fabletics
Can be pricey but it’s worth the silhouette that it gives you in photos!
Spanx
My tried and true for under things! So many styles to choose from, but the site is well categorized so searching is not overwhelming. Be on the lookout for sales and online codes for freebies like VS totes. They’ve been great with being more size inc...
