Recently I was on Facebook responding to friend requests when I came across Late at the Met who according to the page is “eccentric fashion and accessories for ladies with curves.”
This led me to Etsy.com which I have known about for years but have not talked about much. If you do not know what this website is here are the quick details.
Etsy is the world’s handmade marketplace.
Our mission is to empower people to change the way the global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun.
A transaction is as simple as searching, talking to the shop owner, and making a purchase. Ok now that you know a little lets go through the steps to finding some unique plus size fashions on Etsy.
- Register for an account – FYI choose your user name with care this will be the name of the shop if you decide to sell items later.
- Confirm your email
- Start shopping
Etsy gives independent plus size fashion designers a way to sell their designs
One of the dresses I found was in a shop that featured vintage patterns for all sizes. The best part was the instructions in the description of the dress. “Why be a cookie cutter – let me make you a wonderful one of a kind custom garment. ALL SIZES AVAILABLE but not every style lends itself to every body type. If you are unsure if this style will fit your frame, ask me. We may be able to come up with a plan and make alterations so it will fit your body type.“
























Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop for clothing and accessories. Some great designers have/had shops on Etsy, ie Jasmine Elder (Jibri) and Jessica Biffi.
I have come across several cool shops. I will be for sure spending more time over there.
