+Size Alternative Fashion

Hey Fab Bats! In the far distant land of last week, I whipped up a quick post on Summer Goth shops on Etsy. Sifting through the comments to hear your sweet shop suggestions, I found one of you Bat Babes lamenting the lack of +size options on the list. Damn, that’s no fiction. It’s been on my mind for some time to compile a list of +size Alt stores. Looks like the moment is Now! Here’s where the fun is at:

• Candy Strike – Indie shop with artistically morbid designs for all sizes. The designer believes in “fearless fashion, smirks and unapologetic displays of style”.
  
• Domino Dollhouse – A wide range of clothing avec class. You can choose between petticoat colors as well.
  
• Hell Bunny – On the Rockin’-that-Psycho Billy side, as most +Alt fashion seems to be, but still incredibly Qute.
• Chubby Cartwheels –
  I LURV the designs going on here. Feeling the space galaxy witch vibe
  full force. Also the “Diet Industry Dropout” shirt kills.
• Hey Viv – Another Retro rollin shop. Only this one’s got a cheeky edge.
  
• Chic Star – A huge array of designs to choose from. You can submit your own style ideas for rewards as well.
  
• Carmakoma – Has an all black section with basics like turtle necks, sheer shirts and leather pants. Just missing a Smiths record and a coffee mug.
  
• Hello Holiday – Fancy-50s-Grunge imo. Mostly simple skirts, dress and lingerie.
• Retroscope Fashions – Steampunk attire for Ladies and Gentlemen gifted with acute time traveling skills! Grab your mustaches and place a custom order for larger sizes! Quite the extraordinary!
• Rose Mortem – Beautiful handmade Victorian style wear with custom sizes. You can even choose your own colors although most of you will probably go for black.
• Living Doll – Grunge-ish. Particularly like the denim shorts although, for that price, you could probably just cut off a pair of jeans.
• Modcloth – Crying about this exquisite velvet bathing suit.
• Monif C. – Warning: colorful. They do, however, have a gorgeous collection of dresses and swimwear.
• Pinup Girl Clothing – 50s inspired +size fashion. A real way back trip with modern prints. A great alternative to Hell Bunny if you’re looking to step out of Psychobilly town or want to create your own take on it.
• Jacamo – Masculine wear that’s an inch more fancy than T-shirts and sweats.
• The Pyramid Collection – Wiccan wear. I honestly commend them for calling large sizes “Goddess Sizes”.
• Ashley Nell Tipton – Currently on hiatus but will be back!
• Blue Fish Clothing – Neo-bobo looking at first, but on second thought these could make some great Mori outfits.
• Red Dress NYC – IMPORTANT. Varied in sizes and styles, plus one of the few alternative shops I have seen with a Masculine & Butch section.

Regular retail:

• Forever 21+
• H&M+
• Asos
• Torrid
  

Lingerie:

• Hips & Curves
