Even though 67% of women are plus size, it’s pretty hard to find brick and mortar stores that one can shop in!! I travel to New York City regularly, and while the city is known as a shopping destination, it can be pretty hard to figure out where to find plus size stores.
Below, I’ve shared a list of where to find plus size shops in NYC, along with my thoughts on their offering and selection.
Did I miss a store? Be sure to drop me a line so I can add it!!

Plus Size Shops in Brooklyn & Manhattan
Almost of these plus size stores are located in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. I’ve organized the list by plus size stores and curvy boutiques that are still open after everything that has happened after March 2020.
I’m hopeful that plus size stores will come BACK, so I’ve included stores that had to close their physical locations. I’ve noted these stores that are currently closed -and I recommend that you check them out! They may have a pop up or other event while you’re in town.
Help Planning Shopping – Interactive Map!!
I know that a lot of you will want to shop for plus size clothing in NYC in-person because you’re visiting New York or traveling to it, so I’ve made this handy dandy Google Map! Now, keep in mind that this is the FIRST Google Map I’ve ever made (woo new skills), so it may not be perfect. In fact, it most definitely isn’t! You must doublecheck ALL info before heading off into the great unknown!
Alright, let’s get to our round up of plus size stores in New York City!
NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #1: Universal Standard in SoHo
First up on plus size clothing stores in NYC, we have Universal Standard! This store is located in SoHo, and I had a blast visiting the space with some of my plus size besties. I visited the Universal Standard store in NYC in around 2019, and my friends and I had a blast trying on all of the different options.
- Sizing: Universal Standard is known for its workwear and luxe plus size outerwear, and they offer sizes 4XS to 4XL. Their size chart works a bit differently, as their 4XL is a size 40 in other brands.
They recently moved locations, so I’m unsure if this photo is of the most recent store (found on Yelp!), but I think it imparts the Universal Standard vibe.
- Address: 192 Mercer St fl 4, New York, NY 10012 (Special hours apply)
An appointment is required to shop! Please book here.
NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #2: Madewell
Madewell is a bit newer to the plus size space, and they are killing the game – being a fan favorite of many a blogger.

NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #4: WRAY
WRAY is the fave of many plus size folks who like a looser fit and more modern feeling clothes (not everything needs ot have a defined waist, after all)! I am lowkey obsessed with the plus size elbow length GLOVE selection at WRAY!
- Address: 38 Orchard St, New York New York 10002 (Closed Monday as of my update!)

NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #5: Big Bud Press
Next up on my list of plus size clothing stores in NYC we have Big Bud Press! I’ve visited their store in LA (and had a blast trying on coveralls), but it wasn’t until just recently that I learned they have a store in NYC! Love that! The brand goes up to a 6XL, but heads up — their 6XL is much smaller than other plus-only brands!
Their store is also pretty close to WRAY and Ilana Kohn (below), so if you’re visiting the city and crunched for time – you can do a sort of 3-for-1 shopping visit!
- Address: 93 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002 (location change pending, so double check this!)

Plus Size Clothing Store #7: Berriez
Berriez is a super rad plus size vintage shop in New York City and plus size upcycling brand (we love sustainability) in Brooklyn! The brand partners with emerging designers to develop statement making clothes. “A majority of our stock isn’t on the website,” shares Emma, “as it’s a lot of work to photograph one vintage piece. We carry sizes XL to 5X!” The brand also does creator sales, partnering with fashion influencers in NYC, so be sure to join their email list to stay-in-the-know for those!
Berriez was founded by plus size stylist and artist extraordinaire, Emma Zack, who has years of experience in sourcing plus size vintage and styling folks.

Plus Size Clothing Store in NYC #9: Plus BKLYN in Brooklyn

NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #10: La Cera
I hadn’t heard of La Cera until I started searching for plus size boutiques and stores in NYC. This brand is similar to a Catherine’s or Lane Bryant.
- Address: 42 W 39th St 17th floor, New York, NY 10018
From the company: “At La Cera, we believe that style does not mean sacrificing comfort. Each season we create a timeless, classic collection of loungewear, casual dresses and sleepwear for today’s woman, regardless of her age. We also believe it’s not what size you wear, it’s about how you wear your size.
We love soft fabrics, rich colors, bold patterns and intricate details. Each collection is designed to be completely versatile, with styles that take you from day to night or work to weekend.”

NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #11: Lane Bryant
Where would we be without LB?! International travelers will definitely want to stop by one of the half-dozen Lane Bryant locations. I’ve separated them out by neighborhood below, so you can more easily plan your trip.
- Sizing: Lane Bryant carries up to a size 40 online, and I’ve found they stop at around a size 28 in-store.
If you want to try on clothes in-store, it may be a good idea to order clothing online and have it shipped to the store. Then, you can try on clothes in-store that you think you want, and return the ones [if any!] that don’t work!
- Manhattan: 224 W 125th St #222, New York, NY 10027
- Brooklyn: 410 Gateway Dr, Brooklyn, NY 11239
Shop plus size clothing at LB here!
NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #12: Ashley Stewart
There are a lot of Ashley Stewart locations selling plus size clothes in NYC! If I were you, I’d go to an area where there’ only one plus size store (ie Plus BKLYN or Universal Standard), and then find the closest Ashley Stewart to that store!
Ashley Stewart is the place to go for bold and statement making fashion.

- Brooklyn: 1449 Rockaway Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY 11236

Last but NEVER least is Torrid! There’s about 3 in NYC (I thought there would be way more!), and they’re located in Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island.

NYC Plus Size Clothing Store #16: Anthropologie
There are a multitude of Anthropologies in NYC, but word on the street the one at Rockefeller Center is the one you want to visit to snag plus sizes.
Be sure to call ahead to make sure they are stocking plus sizes, as some stores have had their plus section go away, ugh!

Plus Size Store #17: Eloquii in SoHo – NOW CLOSED 🙁
This store closed in 2021. I recommend shopping Eloquii online, HERE.
I’m leaving this information below, just in case the store comes BACK!
I recently visited this store in SoHo, and I had such a blast shopping for plus size coats and fashion forward looks. The staff at this SoHo are excellent, and it’s really a fun shopping experience. They offer stying appointments and really make you feel like a VIP when shopping there.
If you can, I’d recommend taking the subway (I took the 6 from the UES), so you can pass the really fun fashion windows of PRADA, Moncler, etc etc.
This Eloquii is located at 120 Wooster St, New York, NY 10012. (CLOSED)
Eloquii also had stores in Atlanta, Chicago, Washington DC, Detroit, Houston, and Philadelphia.
NOTE: Eloquii corporate offices are in Long Island City (juts outside of NYC), so don’t travel over there to shop! I almost put in the wrong address when heading out to shop!
Plus Size Clothing Store #18: Shegul in The Garment District – Temporarily Closed 🙁
Shegul is a modern luxury brand, offering sizes 10-26. They’ve been a mainstay in the plus size luxury space for quite a while, offering RTW pieces that really elevate a wardrobe.
Their store is located in The Garment District (next to Times Square) making it easy for visitors to the city to get some IRL shopping in on their way to a Broadway show or Mood Fabrics. Please note that at time of publication, the store is closed.
270 W 38th St #2000, New York, NY 10018
The Shegul website is HERE!
Plus Size Clothing Store #19: Fashion to Figure – Temporarily Closed 🙁
Okay, TBQH, I didn’t even know that Fashion to Figure HAD stores?! They have one in Brooklyn and The Bronx. The brand offers clothes in 1X to 3X (around a size 24).
There are different stores listed on Google Maps, so be sure to call ahead! Link to store list here.
Shop Fashion to Figure HERE!
Plus Size Clothing Pop-Up Stores to Check Out
There are a number of really great plus size brands that have HQ in NYC. Companies like Tamara Malas, See Rose Go, CoEdition, Curvy Beach and others have their teams in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
These plus size brands don’t have year-round retail spaces, but they do host pop-ups. If you’re into trunk shows and unique shopping experiences, I’d definitely reach out to these brands to see when their next pop up is – and see if you can stop by while you’re in town!
