I recently resurrected my ignored Instagram account, Plus Size Style Watch, where I share some of my favorite plus size clothing options that are in stores. While I was researching some styles to feature there I was inspired to look into handmade plus size clothing. When you're in-between sizes or in a hard to fit size, handmade clothing can often be the way to go. The only problem was that I didn't know whether handmade plus size clothing that you can purchase online is really a thing.
Well, it turns out that it is and there are quite a few Etsy stores selling handmade plus size clothing of all types. (Of course!) While some have specific sizes available, many offer totally custom sizing, meaning that if you submit your measurements they will create a garment specifically for you.
If you're looking for plus size clothing that you really won't find anywhere else, you have got to check out the options below. There are some really great styles, and the majority of them are surprisingly affordable!
Handmade Plus Size Clothing

Grey Polka Dots Midi Dress – $79
TAPUmeyou features an assortment of dresses for women and girls, including mommy and me dresses. These handmade dresses are all super cute and look super comfy! Dresses ship from Israel and typically arrive within 7-8 business days.
A Conversation Piece
Plus Size Maxi Dress – $139.99
African Print Convertible Dress – $109
Oversize Sweatshirt Shrug – $69.99
Good luck looking and not buying the dramatic pieces from A Conversation Piece. I'm a shortie and don't really wear maxi skirts, but that isn't stopping me from figuring out how I can add that perfectly dramatic maxi skirt to my wardrobe!
C’est Ça New York
Tulle Skirt – $129
If you're looking for a plus size tulle skirt and you don't want to DIY a tulle skirt, check out C’est Ça New York where you'll find tulle skirts in many different colors, as well as lace tops. The tulle skirts come in sizes up to XL, but for $129 you can get one made to your size.
Two String Jane

Thick Chix
High Waist White and Gold Foil Print Skirt – $40+
Pleated Floor Length Maxi Skirt – $45+
Not only can you pick a waist size on all of the gorgeous skirt styles at Thick Chix, but you can also choose a length! The only problem? Short isn't an option for people like me. 🙂 But for anyone that's taller and find their maxi skirts don't quite hit the ground, well, this is the store you're going to want to shop since “tall” and “extra tall” are both options!
