Anxious Plus Size Girl Needs Shopping Help

[Owlie]

I am headed to Melbourne for the first time and would love to go shopping but I have been told that as a size 18 I wont't find anything to fit me. Surely there must be somewhere (without having to resort to condescending stores with names like big & tall or big & beautiful!). Please help I just want to be able to buy something lovely to wear from the fashion capital - even if it's a moo moo, as long as it was a trendy one.



Thanks x

Whoever told you that must not know Melbourne's best kept secrets.  Melbourne is not tagged as the most favorite city of Australia for no reason.  The city is loved by all because of the endless shopping possibilities for anyone regardless of size and age.  If you're quite embarrassed to enter stores with "Big" or "Plus" in it, I have here some better options for you that you would surely not mind entering:

1.  My Secret - 226 Glenferrie Road, Malvern - offer sizes 16-26

2.  Towanda - Shop 4, Driver Lane, 318 Little Bourke Street - sizes 14-24

3.  Sarah Fashion - find them in David Jones Stores - sizes 16-28

4.  Zeve - 42 Smith Street, Warragul, Victoria - sizes 14-28

5.  Dream Diva - PO Box 207, Richmond - sizes 14-24

 

See, these are just some of the most notable stores I know that carry bigger sizes than usual.  I'm sure there are a lot more that I may not know of.  Exploring is fun.  Go explore and enjoy.  Forget what other people are going to say, appreciate yourself more, and of course, have lots of fun.  Good luck on shopping!
