Unfortunately sustainable and ethical brands offering plus size clothing is still a niche within a niche (learn more and join the discussion about why there is a lack of size inclusivity in sustainable fashion), however there are some beautiful slow fashion brands offering conscious clothing for all sizes!
I’ve compiled over 80 sustainable brands who offer plus sizes (at least size 2X with some up to 6X and even custom sizing). This list will continue to be updated as well, so bookmark and check back. 🙂

Dont forget Big Bud Press and i think Arq!
Susan Uptone
Thank you for this list! So many of my favorites are here, such as The Standard Stitch and Girlfriend. Looking forward to trying some new brands.
Mia
These alternatives to Shein may be ethical and plus-sized, but they don’t seem to get that plus-sized girls are SICK of looking frumpy!!
Verena Erin
Some of the styles might not be what you’re looking for, but they definitely aren’t all “frumpy”. Thief & Bandit, Kaela Kay, Loud Bodies, Londre, Cherry Velvet, Alter – just to pick out a few. I think it’s pretty harsh to call them all frumpy.

Specifically lound bodies makes me feel frumpy and probably the girl that wrote it. I’m looking for probably 10 years to find the brands that fit me and my personality but I can’t.some of those brands like dazey don’t even have something in my size and they still calling it plus size.
Sylvie
Dani Marie is an ethical plus size brand with styles up to 4X. Very beautiful natural fabrics. danimariethelabel.com

Origami Customs is an amazing Canadian company! They make customized and handmade lines of swimwear, lingerie, and more for folks of all genders, sizes, shapes, ages, abilities, and gender expressions. Please check out their About Us to see all about their sustainability, I think it would be nice to see more sustainable brands like this that cater to those outside the binary of what is considered the gender norm! ^v^

Thank you for this! This list is absolutely amazing 🤩 I’m adding new shops to my bookmarks as we speak.

I love this post! Some to add would be Big Bud Press for 70’s inspired colorful basics and some jumpers (https://bigbudpress.com), Summersault (https://www.summersalt.com) for swimsuits and TomboyX (https://tomboyx.com) for gender neutral underwear, sleepwear and swimwear.
Jules
Also Universal Standard (https://www.universalstandard.com), although I’m not sure exactly how eco-friendly they are. Has anyone been able to find swim shirts/rashguards that are eco-friendly and plus sized?

Love this post! I do wish some of the shops had even more expansed bra sizes. And adjustable straps! One issue I have found with S/M/L type sizing on bras is that choosing a size based on my bust measurement doesn’t necessarily take into account my under-bust measurement. So I end up with something that doesn’t provide enough support because the band is too big. And then I’m short, so many of the straps on these bras are too long. I’m trying so hard to only buy sustainable and ethical fabrics but I am hitting a wall when it comes to supporting “the girls”.
Verena Erin
I would highly recommend checking out Lara Intimates! They do letter sizing and make amazing bras 🙂

One brand you might want to check out is Blue Sky Clothing. They are on Facebook but I can and do spend hours in their Londsdale store in North Vancouver, B.C. The story of the clothing first started getting made and then where and how and the quality. The fabrics are amazing. Bamboo and Modal etc. She now has 5 shops I believe. have a knit top that I wore at least 2 times a week and I have owned it for over 10 years. While it has finally faded a bit…it is still amazing. The sizes are from xs to 4x and the sizing is very generous. I love it so much almost my entire wardrobe is Blue Sky.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this post. Thank you so much!
Idea for the future: For all the fashion guides, would it be possible to include a rough idea for pricing? It could be as simple as the price of their cheapest garment to the most expensive garments rounded up i.e. $50-$100 or $100-$300. I completely understand that many companies seem “expensive” compared to fast fashion, and we need to adjust our ideas of what clothing should actually cost; however, I’d love to be able to look at a list like this and know which brands are closer to my budget instead of having to click through each one to see if they’re even attainable for me at this moment in time. I think little things like this make the lifestyle more accessible and less disheartening to those who are trying to transition from a fast fashion to slow fashion state of mind.
Again, I’m extremely grateful for the work you do. Keep it up!! 🙂 <3

I totally understand that info would be helpful and I’ve tried to do this in the past but found it very difficult to come up with a way to accurately convey the price. For example a brand might carry clothing in the $50-$100 range but then also sells $500 coats or $15 socks, so cheapest and most expensive can be misleading. Doing a rough average instead I’ve had people get angry if says $100-$200 but then they have some pieces that are $400. I also ran into the issue that brand’s collections can fluctuate in price, so when the post is written it might be accurate but maybe the next collection is overall a bit cheaper or more expensive, and unfortunately I just don’t have the time to update posts each season.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for these issues I would love to hear them though! It’s info I would like to be able to include, I just haven’t been able to find a way to make it work.

THANK YOU for this list, it’s amazing! Some of my favourites and some new names to investigate. I’d add that Thunderpants is actually a NZ brand with an American arm. So if customers are shopping from the Southern Hemisphere they can also try https://www.thunderpants.co.nz/.
I live in Melbourne, Australia and sadly there isn’t a huge market yet down under for sustainable plus-size ranges but it’s exciting watching the industry grow! x
Ann
Thanks for this. Great post! I think TomBoyX would be a good additional mention for the underwear section.
