Plus Woman is a made to order clothing company in Fairview, North Carolina. Clothing takes three to five weeks to be made and shipped. The custom designs allow customers to choose fabric from numerous swatch options visible on their website, sleeve length, pockets, and leg length while shopping online, by phone or fax.
Selection: Plus Woman offers a limited selection of tops, tees, leggings, pants, skirts, dresses, suits, slinky, medical scrubs, outerwear, and nightgowns.
Sizing: Plus Woman offers their plus size clothing in sizes 1x - 10x. Read their sizing information (link located at bottom of their website) as their sizing is completely different than other plus size clothing companies. What would normally be a size 26 elsewhere may be a Plus Woman size small. Their clothing begins at size 12 and goes up to approximately size 54.
Styling: I would describe the style as casual comfort for the over 40 group.
Pricing: Plus Woman is at the mid to high end with tops in the $46 - $90 range. Pants and skirts are in the $54 - $85 range. Keep in mind that the clothes have many customer controlled specifications which make the added price worthwhile.
Availability: They ship to the U. S. and Canada as well as overseas. They begin at $9.50 U.S. for a $70 purchase and $19.50 or more to Canada.
Overall Impression: There were a few items I found that were flattering but the majority of the styles are boxy and I think super size women can do better by updating the cuts. Unfortunately super size clothing is limited in availability as it is and I'm providing this link as a resource to give more options. I am however impressed that they use plus size models instead of filling the site with size 10 or 12 models. Other impressive customer services are their "no hassle" returns despite being made to order and they have a 1-800 number for U.S. and Canadian customers. Of course one of the best features of this clothing company is the level of control that they allow the consumer to have in choice of fabric and options.
