  • Vintage Plus Size Clothing

    Does vintage plus size clothing exist?  Yes.  It actually does, but it can be tough to find.  One of the biggest problems I found when I started researching this was that every time I looked for anything vintage and added "plus size" to it, I ended up getting inundated with search results for costumes.  It seems that retro costumes are pretty popular, but they are not the same thing as actual vintage clothing.  In fact, in my experience, most costumes are pretty poor quality unless you pay for top of the line merchandise.  You might as well get the real deal.

    I did manage to sort things out and hopefully that will make things easier for you.  If you are specifically looking for plus size clothes from the 70's, you can find them with photos a little bit further down the page.  If you are looking to find all of the vintage plus size clothes regardless of decade, just click

    If you ever are able to catch a re-run of Charlie's Angels, you might get the impression that the only 70's clothes available for women in the decade were mumus (I couldn't confirm the spelling on this one), those tent like pseudo shirt/dresses that were one seam short of being a bubble.  I couldn't even find a decent photo of one, but do you remember Mrs. Roper from "Three's Company"?

    Fear not buxom vintage fans, there really was fashionable clothing available for those of larger proportions!  You just have to know how to look for it.  I've wasted, er, spent a lot of time searching things out on eBay over the years you know.  Here is a little sample of some nice looking 70's clothes that were designed for larger folks.  Just a word of warning though, in general, clothes were cut a bit tighter back then.  Everything hadn't been supersized yet.  I mention this because some people might want to contact sellers for actual measurements that they can compare to clothing they already own.  Many buyers will already include this, but if they don't most will be very accommodating if you ask for additional information.
