Promising reviews: "This is my fifth color of this very comfy, very nice summer dress!!! As someone that doesn't like to fiddle with too trendy clothes, this fits the bill PERFECTLY! You can dress it up, dress it down, and either way, wear it all day long! The pockets are actual functioning pockets that'll hold my phone and car keys (use separate pockets though). Which is why I bought more in different colors, because this became my go to dress so much it was always in the laundry! 😀" —stacy c coleman, size 3XL

"The photo does not do the dress justice... I received numerous compliments on it. The fit was perfect, and I can’t go without pockets, which it had. The fabric is soft and buttery. The silhouette is perfect for any occasion. The look and quality of the dress appear to be worth much more than the selling price. You can’t go wrong purchasing this dress — it’s a must-have." —Gina, size XL

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–4XL and dozens of colors/prints).

Promising review: "I wear a 40H bra; I bought the 'Black' in 3X last summer, and I came back to purchase every other color. It is nearly impossible to find a plus-size crop top that I can wear without a bra, and not only does this keep me covered and in place, but it's also fully lined with cotton, so I'm not swimming in boob sweat by the end of the day! I wish there were more color and pattern options, I would buy them in a heartbeat." —Jamie, size 3X

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes 1X–4X and six colors/prints)

Promising reviews: "Tried this in store and I had to have it. Very nice, lightweight, and comfortable. Could be dressed up or down. I'm normally a 16 in bottoms and between their size 0 and 1 in tops, and I got this in a size 1." —Torrid Customer, size 1

"I have never had good luck with rompers... But THIS romper... Is PERFECT! I generally wear a Torrid size 3 in garments with stretch, because I like fitted tops and flowy skirts/bottoms, so when I read other reviews saying this had NO stretch, I sized up to a size 4, and it fits perfectly: fitted through the bust and torso, high-waist sits just right, flows from the hips and lands above the knee and I did not find the straps to be too long, but I have an ample bust... I can't wait to wear these on my vacation to Hawaii in August! If you are on the fence about rompers due to your belly, BUY THIS. You won't regret it!" —Torrid Customer, size 4X

Get it from Torrid for $20+ (originally $45.90; available in sizes M–6X and seven colors/prints).

And reviewers suggest you order a size down if you don't want a loose, oversized fit.

Promising reviews: "This dress is giving me life! It’s beautiful!! Fabric is lightweight. Colors are bold and amazing! I am 6’0” and about 272 lbs. — This dress comes almost to the floor. I seriously can never find a true maxi dress, and this, my friends, is a true maxi dress!!! So all my tall plus-size people... BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!! I’m going to buy more colors!!" —Ashley meadows, size XXL

"I wear a 2/3X, and this dress fits me perfectly. It wasn’t tight, but hugged me so I didn’t look like I was wearing a bag. The fabric feels very nice and isn’t see-through whatsoever. The pockets are a decent size, too. My iPhone 11 Pro Max fit perfectly into it. The straps seem to be sturdy, and I have no fear of them breaking. Very comfortable summer dress, get it!" —Kirsten Michelle Gloss, size XXL

Get it from Amazon for $28.20 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors/styles).

Promising review: "I needed some casual lounge pants to wear for relaxing or doing housework. I bought these pants on a whim because I've recently lost some weight and wasn't sure if I'd fit into a size 16-20 Plus. Right now, I'm a plus size 20W or 1X, and these pants fit great with plenty of room to spare. The waistband is made with very stretchy elastic, but doesn't feel constricting at all. I would say buy a size down from your usual because these are very oversize and loose. They are so comfortable, and after I washed them, there was no shrinkage (though there was a bit of red bleed, so wash them with dark clothes!), and the material is very soft against the skin and doesn't wrinkle. There is a pocket on the right leg, but not on the left. I'm not sure why only one side, but it's deep enough to hold my phone. Definitely going to be buying more of these!" —Charlotte B., size 16–20 Plus

Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available in a one-size model designed to fit sizes XS–L, sizes 16–20 Plus, sizes 20–24 Plus, and sizes 24–28 Plus, respectively, as well as extra-long sizes and 40 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "This dress fits me amazingly; it’s adorable, and I will be wearing it to an upcoming wedding. Seriously so comfy as well, the material, the pockets, it’s breathable. Just love everything about this dress."  —Beth - Amazon Customer, size 22 Plus

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 14 Plus–26 Plus and nine colors/prints).

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this bathing suit. The pattern is very unique, and it is the perfect amount of sexy. I wish this were made in more colors!!" —Adore Me Customer

"Size 2X. I’m 5’6”, 230 pounds. I absolutely love this bathing suit. It is so sexy on and makes me feel great. I got tons of compliments wearing it. Definitely recommend." —K.C.

Get it from Adore Me for $29.98 (originally $59.95; available in sizes 1X–4X).

Pro-tip from the reviewers: size up if you want a longer skirt!

Promising review: "As a curvier girl with a belly, I was skeptical this would look cute on me — boy, was I wrong!! I love how perfect this skirt is for EVERY. SIZE! I can wear either size L or XL with Pop Flex, depending on the item, but I opted to exchange the L for the XL, and it was more comfortable. If you’re on the fence about your size, I would recommend going up a size — it fits better and more comfortably without being loose or baggy." —Amber V

"I really love it! As a mama of two, my belly needed some support and coverage, and I’m very happy with this skort! The only thing that would make it better is if the shorts were a little longer, more like biker shorts. I’m 5’5" and around 180 pounds, and the XL is comfortable!" —K.V.

Get it from Pop Flex for $60 (available in sizes XXS–3X and 16 colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

Promising reviews: "Very comfy and breathable for Florida weather. I frequent the amusement parks here in Florida and recently purchased this. The shorts are a great length. I am 5’6, size 20, and the 3XL fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend this purchase." —brandi cordle, size 3XL

"I loved the lightness of this outfit. The material is perfect — not flimsy or loose, and oh-so-comfortable. I am 215 pounds — very curvy, and I ordered a large. Just adorable. Absorbed the Jamaican sun, and I didn't break a sweat in this outfit. I plan to order one for every day of the week to pack when I return. The quality and comfort are great." —Glenniebop, size L

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 13 colors).

And check out the short-sleeve version for $24.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 15 colors).

Promising reviews: “Being a plus-size girl, I’m always so nervous about buying clothes like this. Well, let me tell you — not only does it fit so well, but my confidence has soared! The material is amazing, and I keep getting so many compliments. DEF recommend!!" —Ann kairo

"I ordered this originally in black and immediately went back to order it in another color after receiving and wearing it. I'm plus-sized, usually size 18, 250 lbs, curvy, large busted, 5'5" with a long torso. I often have trouble finding bodysuits that clasp and stay closed on me with that long torso. This one is incredible. It stays clasped, is incredibly comfortable, is double-lined and extremely supportive, so no need for any kind of bra (which is incredible for summer months!), and it's SO soft! I HIGHLY recommend this, and I plan to buy more colors as they go on sale. I legitimately will be wearing these constantly all throughout the summer months!" —Angie K, size XXL

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 12 colors).

Promising review: "Dresses are my go-to to wear while at home doing housework or simply relaxing. This dress serves that purpose and still looks good if I pop on some sneakers to go out and run errands. The fabric is a little better than expected, but it is somewhat sheer across the chest (I can see the silhouette of my bra). I'm also chesty, so I bought a size larger than I normally wear and it fits perfectly. Washes better than expected as well. After three washes, it has not pilled or faded. I plan to buy more of this dress in other colors. This was a great buy." —Kim

Get it from Walmart for $15.29 (originally $27.99; available in sizes 1X–5X and 15 colors/prints).

Just FYI, the 7-, 9-, 17-, and 21-inch inseams are the only lengths that go beyond XL/2XL!

Thigh Society is a small business specializing in size-inclusive undergarments and apparel.

Promising reviews: "I had my doubts that these would work, and then Saturday it was a humid 84 degrees out and swamp butt was inevitable. Put these shorts on under my very thin dress because let’s be honest, if I could walk around naked, I would. And not once did the rubbing of my voluptuous thighs cause any kind of fricken or heat, and no swamp butt was to be had that day. I’m very glad I got three for rotation, but now I need to buy four more so that I can have one for every day of the week. Under my dresses, they are that good. Finally, someone got the swamp butt prevention right!!" —Jessica McColl, size 3XL/4XL

"If it wasn't for the noticeable lack of chafing when I wear these, I'd forget I had them on. I'm a bigger girl, and they stay put! They don't roll up your legs or down at the waist. They are silky against the skin and comfortable in the heat, and I wouldn't wear a skirt without them. I'm buying more. Also works great over my HeyShape Bodysuit under a bodycon dress. No added seams or bulk at all. 10/10." —Ryver, size XL/2XL

Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, six lengths, and 11 colors).

Promising reviews: "Super cute! Great value for the money! Got this dress to attend a wedding, and it’s very comfortable! I would say it’s pretty true to size, and it has some stretch. It’s hard to find cute dresses as a plus-size girl, and this is soooooooo cute! Love the slit on the leg too!" —Keri, size 24 Plus

Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes 12–24 Plus and six colors).

I am quite literally wearing one of these right now. That's how many Foxy camis I own. They are designed to hug the body, so there's no harm in sizing up if you're a bustier person. I am a 46DDD/F and typically wear a size 3 at Torrid for relaxed fits — but I have accidentally bought size 2s, and they fit just fine, but are a true, tight, bodycon style. Seriously, this is one of my go-to Torrid purchases, along with bike shorts and leggings, because they last forever. I've worn the one I'm wearing right now for maybe seven years, and now it is a perfect sleep tank. You need it!

Promising reviews: "A plus-size essential: soft, comfy, well-designed, supportive, and detailed — just what a perfect cami should be!" —Viaxixi, size 6X

"I love these. They are soft and hug the body. Colors are amazing. The size provides ample room for the bust and tummy. Plus, wearing these under your favorite button-up or sheer top adds a pop of color." —StarShine662, size 2X

Get it from Torrid for $4.79+ (originally $19.90; available in sizes M–6X and 32 colors/prints).

Promising review: "This is my favorite bathing suit ever. It's hard to find a bathing suit top that covers my 38J self, that also feels supportive and stylish at the same time. The black and neon colors look so fun. I even saw another person on vacation with the pink and neon version, and it was so cute on her, too! I love to swim, and this held up, and I felt secure the whole time... I ordered both sizes 16 and 18 and ended up going with 16 because it felt a little more secure, in a good way. Size 18 would have been too loose, especially when swimming." —Sarah, size 16 Plus

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes 12 Plus–30 Plus and 17 styles).

Promising review: "These wide leg pants are soooo comfortable. They are soft and fit well. They come up to the waist and are not sheer at all. The material is a light to medium weight. They are the closest thing to pajamas, yet they look very chic. They washed and dried well without shrinkage... I wore them with a T-shirt and a pink lace jacket. They looked very dressy, but it feels like I’m wearing pajamas because they are so comfortable and very soft." —Jossie4016

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and over 48 colors/prints).

Promising review: "This dress looks just like it does in the picture. It's slightly sheer, but you can't really see-through it, and it adds to the coolness. Very lightweight and perfect for super-hot weather. We are going to a family reunion in American Samoa, and the weather will be perfect. It is not stretchy at all, but it is not form-fitting either. It is a little boxy, but it's kind of bohemian and cute. I really like it." —Jade Y, size 3XL

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and nine colors/prints).

FYI, some reviewers say these shorts are a little roomy, so make sure to check the size guide!

Promising review: "These shorts are wonderful! They work well on plus-sized bodies, are made from high-quality fabric, and have pockets! They look great both as high-waisted shorts and when worn at the hips. I will be buying more of these!" —Michelle Ekstedt, size 0X

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X and 11 colors/prints).

Promising review: "I love these mesh tops from AFRM and was excited to finally purchase one. The colors were rich and vibrant, and fit true to size. I am heavier in the mid-section/hips, so it definitely has to be tucked in, or it will roll up a bit, but I planned to style it tucked in anyway." —Franglish13

Get it from Anthropologie for $38 (available in sizes 1X–3X and two styles).

Promising review: "This skirt is lovely! The perfect length, and just the right amount of fluff to it. I bought the dark champagne color, and it looked gorgeous in the sun. Very fun! I usually wear a size 16-18 and am 5’4”, so I bought the 3X, and it fit perfectly!" —Kimberly, size 3X

Get it from Amazon for $23.55+ (available in sizes XS–5X and 45 colors/prints).

Promising review: “I absolutely love this dress! The material is light, soft, and airy — perfect for warm weather. The quality exceeded my expectations, and the color matched the listing exactly, which I really appreciated. I wore it on a recent trip to Siesta Key, and it was the perfect beach dress. It’s versatile enough to dress up for dinner or keep casual for a day by the water. Definitely worth the money — I’m already thinking about getting it in another color!” —Lora

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and 39 colors/prints).

BTW, reviewers mention sizing up if you're taller or want an oversize fit!

Promising reviews: "Actually plus size. These are super cute. I was worried that they wouldn’t fit, but they did! They were snug at first, but stretched out pretty quickly into perfect slouchiness. The length of the pants is weird, but I cuffed them, and they’re even cuter. For reference, I have a long torso and pronounced stomach. I normally wear a 2X or 3X and size 20–22 pants." —Casey, size 3XL

"I absolutely loved the fit of this. Wide enough legs that you can roll the bottom and look so cute. The color was as displayed and just what I wanted. The quality was really decent given the price... I wore these on a cruise, and it was perfect! I wore these so much over the last year that I am ordering another set. 5/5 recommend. Absolutely amazing and comfortable!" —Catelynn Hodges, size XL

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S—3XL and six colors/prints).

Promising review: "I’m blown away. I’ve never felt like this in a swimsuit... The back is very stretchy, so it’s perfect for big chests. I’m a J cup, and they support BEAUTIFULLY and fit very well. (I’m not wearing the cup liners, because they wrinkled weird and make the chest part lumpy.) The tie on the front extends inside, separating the chest in a very nice way, and the shorts underneath are extremely comfortable. You could pull them down to shorts or keep them above your thighs to be shorter! Overall, it’s high quality, very comfortable, and I’ve never felt more confident in a swimsuit." —Shaylee S, size 3XL

Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes S–6XL and 24 styles).

Promising review: "For reference: I am 5'7, typically XXL in most items, ordered 3XL to account for length. I loved this top! I love flowy tops for summer. I struggle to find items that are cute/trendy but also long enough to not be a crop top! The white is slightly see-through, so I planned to wear a tank top underneath for a color pop with the open back. The material is so soft and perfect for hot days out. And you can't beat the price point, totally worth the cost! I plan to order more!" —kamrynnoel, size 3XL

Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in sizes XL–4XL and 10 colors).

Promising review: "This dress is so beautiful. I ordered a size up, and it fit perfectly and wasn't too long/short. I paired it with some wedges for church on Easter Sunday. I got many compliments and felt confident! The only downside, in my opinion, is that it didn't come with pockets. But overall, it is wonderful. I plan to purchase other colors in this! 🥰" —Heather Whitehead, size 3XL

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XL–5XL and 18 colors).

Promising review: "I love this jacket so much! I was hesitant to buy it because I already have a denim jacket, but this was a great addition. Being a longer length gives it a different look that I really like. Super soft and comfortable for travel too. I dressed it up for a night out in San Francisco with a short black dress, and I wore it over a crop top and leggings, hiking in Big Sur. The pockets are also huge, which is a win for me." —Beck! What the Heck?!, size XXL Plus

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XL Plus–4XL Plus).

Each swimsuit comes with a pair of high-waist briefs! BTW, reviewers say it runs small in the bust, so you'll definitely want to measure and double-check before ordering!

Promising review: "I love this swimsuit! I am always worried about buying online as I have bigger breasts (H cup), and although I have under boob, my breasts still feel like they won't fall out! And since it covers the stomach, no one can tell I have the underboob! And if you're a bigger cup like me, we're used to having underboob all the time, so it's not a big deal to me!" —Haley Wilbur, size 4XL Plus

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes L Plus–5XL Plus and 21 colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "I'm so happy with the quality and fit of this linen shirt. It's comfortable and modest, which is exactly what I need. The fabric is soft and keeps me cool. Will get more!" —Yasmin A

"This shirt is well-made and perfect for throwing on over a pair of jeans or shorts, but can also take a slightly different direction when needing to feel a little more dressed up. Depending on how you play with your wardrobe and the accessories you choose, it can be versatile and a go-to piece. The material feels fresh and perfect for warm summer days and cooler nights!" —Old Navy Customer

Get it from Old Navy for $44.99 (available in sizes XS–4X, including select tall and petite sizes XS–XXL, and six colors).

Promising reviews: "I'm very passionate about these pants! I plan on purchasing them in all colors, they are perfect! I am 5'2" and the regular length is just right. They are soft, comfy, and still look put together. If you have curves, I'd recommend sticking to your regular size! I have a bum and hips and a mom pooch, and the large is exactly how I'd want them to fit! Just buy them!" —Alana S.

"These are the best pants I've gotten from Old Navy. I am a 2X in these and am curvy, carrying my weight below the waist. These are a perfect fit. For once, they are not tight in the hips and thighs. Nice linen-like material. I keep coming back, trying to get another color, but I can't decide which one. I highly recommend these for summer." —LoreeC

Get it from Old Navy for $39.99 (available in sizes XXS–4X, including select tall and petite sizes, and nine colors/prints)

Promising reviews: "Perfect for plus size! Love this skirt! Fits great, perfect length to wear with boots or flats! I’m 5’9” and 235 pounds. My normal size is 2X, and I ordered a 3XL in this skirt!" —Lacy Wallace, size 3XL

"This skirt is a wardrobe favorite! The fabric is soft, durable, and moves beautifully, making it perfect for both casual outings and dressier occasions. I also love the versatility — it pairs easily with a variety of tops and shoes, so I can dress it up or down depending on the event. It stays true to size after repeated wear and washes. Overall, this skirt is stylish, comfortable, and a great addition to any closet. Highly recommend!" —Lilly, size L

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 56 colors/prints — not all styles available in all sizes).

Promising review: "This is very comfortable and flowy. Wore it all day and didn’t want to take it off because it was so comfy. I got lots of compliments on it at my baby shower — I’m eight months pregnant in Texas, and it’s HOT here." —Lorin Rae, size 22 Plus

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 14 Plus–26 Plus and 37 colors/prints).

I love a Lane Bryant short. They're ridiculously comfortable and feel like butter on your skin, even though denim can typically feel thick. You can dress them up or down, and these are even designed with five pockets to keep all your leave-the-house essentials on hand.

BTW, reviewers say these shorts run big, and you may want to consider sizing down!

Promising review: "These shorts are the perfect length, have amazing stretch, and very nice embroidered details. Fit is roomy, so I would size down one if you are in between sizes." —Tamfaye

Get it from Lane Bryant for $35.98 (originally $74.95; available in sizes 20–38/40 — see more styles here).

Promising reviews: "Just get it! Great quality, lightweight dress that covers you without being too thick. The material is perfect for summer weather! Sizing was perfect. I’m 5’7" and 185 pounds. I looked great!" —Shardae

"Love this dress! It’s exactly how it is in the pictures. Deep-V, which gives it that sexiness. It is short, so be mindful of bending over and sitting down. I’m 5’4" for reference and have an 'apron belly.' It’s definitely plus-size friendly. Definitely makes you feel and look sexy!" —VWilliams, size XXL

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XXS–4XL and 16 colors/prints).

Promising reviews: "My wife loves this top! I bought her the olive colored blouse for its versatility. The Swiss dot pattern and high neck give it a sophisticated appearance, yet she says it’s extremely comfortable. She’s paired it with a skirt, sheer black tights, and dressy patent-leather flats for an elegant, professional look, or with barrel jeans and sandals or loafers for a more casual look. Either way, it looks and feels like a blouse that would cost twice as much as it did." —Asking 4 a Friend, size 4XL Plus

"I just realized I’ve been wearing the shirt backward 🤣 I have been tying it in the front lol. Either way, it’s a great shirt, and you can apparently wear it whichever way you want, haha. Sizing and fit are spot on. I got the green, and it’s a beautiful color; I get lots of compliments. The material is light, but not too light, so you can wear it year-round. I’m back to order more in different colors." —Stefani Montgomery, size 3XL Plus

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes L Plus–4XL Plus and 32 colors).

Promising reviews: "This is the first swimsuit I've been able to wear with full confidence in YEARS!!! Perfect fit and true to size. Super comfortable and good quality material. I received so many compliments when I wore it on my last cruise. It was great for both lounging and swimming, and I even wore it all day while walking around in the ports of destination. I absolutely adore the color scheme — it complements my skin tone well. I loved it so much after wearing it that I immediately bought a second one in another color. Great value for the money. For reference, I am 5'6" and 220 lbs." —TheSaint, size XXL
