The Best Mid-Size Inclusive Clothing Brands

If you’re a mid-sized lady, somewhere between US sizes 10 and 14, you know that shopping can be hard. Standard size garments are typically cut for a size small and then sized up to fit a larger body type. That means that even when standard brands carry in-between sizes, they are rarely cut to fit or flatter a mid-size woman’s curves. On the other hand, plus size lines are designed to highlight curves – but they typically only start offering clothes at size 14 or 16. So where are mid-sized gals supposed to shop?

If you’ve ever asked yourself this question, this article is for you! I’ve compiled a list of all of my favorite mid-size inclusive brands. From large, established brands down to exciting new inclusive startups, there’s bound to be something for you on this list!

1. Joanie Clothing

I have been obsessed with UK brand Joanie Clothing since I first stumbled across their Instagram a few months ago. If you love stunning vintage-inspired statement pieces like adorable slogan tees or flirty dresses, Joanie is the brand you’ve been searching for.

Their entire size range (US sizes 4-18) are included under the same product listing, meaning mid-size shoppers don’t need to search through standard and plus offerings to find their perfect fit. Remember that UK sizing is different than what we use in North America, so be sure to check the size guide!

2. Good American

I mentioned Good American in my How to be Body Positive as a Mid-Sized Woman post, but I feel like Khloe Kardashian’s curve friendly denim brand deserves a second mention!

Good American is not just talking about the problems mid-sized gals face – they’re actively working to make shopping easier for us. They’ve even created a new size – size 15, which is meant to bridge the gap between standard and plus sizes. Their site also has a model selector! You can view your new favourite pair of jeans on a size 0, 8, or 16 model to make sure you get the perfect fit.

3. ASOS

UK retailer ASOS has exploded in popularity in North America over the past few years – and with good reason! This site offers trendy pieces in a huge range of sizes meaning there really is something for everyone! ASOS carries a number of labels, meaning there’s even more mid-sized brands to choose from.

ASOS’s standard sizing goes up to a US size 14, while their plus sizes start at 12! This means mid-sized gals have an even bigger range of fashion to enjoy. They also offer some other fits like tall, petite, and fuller bust, meaning ASOS has clothes for all sizes and shapes.

4. Ava James NYC

Ava James was made for mid-sized girls… Literally! Their brand carries sizes from 8-18 that are meant to reflect “what the modern woman looks like today.” Ava James was one of the first mid-sized brands to gain popularity and it’s still going strong today. Scrolling their site and seeing so many beautiful mid-size models is an incredible feeling!

Ava James is the perfect place to shop for gorgeous cocktail dresses and elevated workwear. Their stunning garments are handmade by seamstresses in New York City, meaning their pieces are made to last a lifetime.

5. Karina Dresses

No matter what your size or shape, your Karina dress is guaranteed to be the most flattering one in your closet. Their dresses come in a wide range of classic cuts and patterns that are sure to make you want to twirl!

Karina Dresses has also got one of the most beautifully diverse websites I’ve ever seen. They carry sizes from XXS to 4XL and their models reflect that diversity. They have models of all different ages, sizes, and colours looking phenomenal in a Karina dress! If that’s not enough to convince you, check out their dresses with pockets section!

6. Swimsuits For All

You shouldn’t have to be a size 0 to look incredible at the beach. Swimsuits For All makes looking your best a little easier with their range of flattering, trendy bathing suits. Check out their Ashley Graham collection for some extra sex appeal!

They carry sizes from 4 – 40 in a huge range of styles and fits. They really do have a swimsuit for everyone!

7. Draper James

If you’ve ever wanted to emulate Reese Witherspoon’s classically cute style, Draper James is the brand for you. Inspired by the timeless charm and grace of Southern America, these outfits will instantly make you feel like a mid-sized southern belle!

Check out the extended sizes section where you’ll find sizes from 0-24 all under the same listing!

8. Torrid

Torrid already got a shoutout in my last mid-size post, but I couldn’t resist adding them to this list too. Torrid is another amazing plus-size brand that’s expanded its range for mid-sizers as well!

They carry sizes down to a size 10. Plus their model selector can help you visualize your new outfits on a range of different body types! Be sure to check out their fangirl section for some adorable mid-size geekiness!

9. eShakti

If you’ve ever dreamed of finding clothing that fits you like a glove, eShakti might be what you’ve been searching for! eShakti offers made-to-measure, customizable garments. Simply enter your measurements, choose from a number of sleeve, neckline, and hemline options, and wait for your perfect piece to arrive!

10. American Eagle

Chances are, you’ve probably shopped at an American Eagle at some point in your life. But if it’s been a few years, you might have missed the body positivity revolution that has gone on at AE and Aerie stores!

American Eagle now showcases their figure-flattering boho-chic looks on models of all shapes and sizes. Be sure to check out their life-changing curvy jeans which were designed with more room at the hips and thigh to hug your curves while also fitting your waist.

11. Modcloth

You know there’s no way I could make another mid-sized post without mentioning Modcloth! They changed the game when they retired their plus size section in 2015, opting instead to include all sizes under the same listings.

Today, Modcloth carries a wide range of quirky, cute, and trendy styles up to a size 28, styled on a beautifully diverse group of models.

12. Amazon

Amazon might not be the first site to pop into your mind when you think about mid-sized brands, but you would be surprised at how mid-size inclusive Amazon can be! Since Amazon is a marketplace, it features hundreds of clothing labels on one affordable and easy-to-navigate website! Lately, I have been loving Amazon Essentials, Amazon’s own brand for elevated basics.

Amazon Essentials offers tops, bottoms, dresses, swimwear, and even undergarments in a super inclusive size range. On most items you can shop sizes XS to XXL all under one listing. Plus, if you have an Amazon Prime membership you can score free express shipping on your new outfit!

13. Unique Vintage

If I had a dollar for every hour I’ve wasted browsing Unique Vintage, I would probably have enough to own everything from their site. Don’t let the “vintage” scare you away – Unique Vintage’s vintage-inspired pieces can fit seamlessly into even the most modern wardrobes.

Retro cuts are often designed to highlight curves and look fantastic on bodies of all shapes and sizes! They carry sizes from 0-28 with many items bridging the gap between standard and plus without skipping an inch.

I’ll be updating this list regularly, so be sure to pin it to get even more mid-size recommendations!

Whether you’re petite, plus-sized, mid-sized, or something in between, you deserve to feel amazing in the skin you’re in. Here’s to confidence for all of us!

  1. This is a great list! My friends and I always have issues finding clothes that are curvy girl friendly. I’ve heard of many of these brands but I really need to check them out!

  2. I recently lost a significant amount of weight but I was in that awkward in between space. Plus size was too much but standard sizes were too small. This blog post would have been such a big help last year!

  3. Great lists!! I kind of like eShakti brand because it is customizable. I am always looking for a made to measure cloths. Will check it out further. Thank you

  4. I’ve been searching for brands that actually design and cut their clothes for mid-sized women ever since I learned that most brands cut their clothes for a size 2/4 and then just adjust it to fit an 8/10. Are the brands you’ve listed here actually designed and cut for sizes 8-12 or do they just include those sizes in their offerings?

    1. Hey Andi! Thanks so much for your comment. I was so shocked to discover that as well! It is such a struggle to find brands that actually cut their clothes for midsize bodies, so even though all the brands I’ve found are flattering for midsize gals, some of them here don’t do that. But there are a few that are specifically cut for curves! You should check out:
      Ava James – they only carry sizes 8-18, so everything is cut for those sizes.
      Torrid – cut for plus size/curvy bodies as 10 is the lowest size they offer. Might be tough for any size 8s though!
      eShakti – they offer affordable custom sizing so their clothes will be cut with your measurements in mind.
      Let me know what you think! I’ll be updating this list within the next few weeks so hopefully I can find some more options for us πŸ™‚
