The Australian Brands Delivering Size-Inclusive Fashion This Summer
Fashion choices for plus sizes have typically been limited, despite the average Australian woman being a size 14-16. However, in recent years this has started to change, and a number of Aussie brands are including greater size ranges, as well as plus-size specific collections. This is why we have put together the below list of our favourite homegrown brands to shop this summer!
This fun brand full of bright colours and bold patterns is oh so cheerful! You’re definitely going to find a few new wardrobe staples, with sizes from a 6 to 22 and all styles under $100.
This online retailer is a plus-size dedicated store that was created by Australian curve models, Blaise McCann and Karina Bruce, who were frustrated by the existing lack of options and quality fits for larger sizes. Stocking a number of brands, the styles range from 12-26 and they have outfits for every style and occasion!
This online retailer stocks apparel for all kinds of dress codes, casual to formal and everything in between. The virtual styling suite offers in-depth advice so that you can shop for your body shape, the occasion or even tailored to your personality! Most of their ranges start at a 6 and go up to a size 22.
As they put it themselves, ‘grump is a size inclusive brand that is all about cute and quirky designs with big personality’. And if that wasn’t great enough, their fabric is ethically sourced and all handmade by owner Kerry in Brisbane! Coming in as the biggest size range on our list, grump proudly stocks sizes 6 to 30!
