I swear, I’m not a clotheshorse. I just hang onto anything I find that fits and I like, even if I don’t have occasion to wear it, because what are the odds I will ever again find whatever-it-is in a size that fits me?
If you’re nodding, this page is for you. Eventually I’ll probably put more clothes references, but in the meantime I’ll collect some posts about the hunt for clothing when you’re too big for the average mall store.
Where to shop:
- What If You’re Too Big For Lane Bryant? — specifically looking at supersizes
- Fat Clothing Catalogs… — general plus sizes
- Clothes Shopping at ~400lbs! — what I thought would be my only clothes post. Hah!

Living ~400lbs 
Can you guesstimate undies size for 400lb woman, average to slightly taller height? She’s hospital bound with the illness causing a 100lb weight gain and no idea of what size undies she now needs. I’m trying to bring her something to make an extended hospital stay less awful. Thx for any advice@@!
Try a size 14 brief or thigh high. Just my size is good, Walmart normally has then but you can get other brands online at Woman Within.
Go to Walmart they have large size underwear for big women. I buy mine from there all the time.
I’m a quadriplegic and therefore unable to exercise therefore I’ve gained weight over 10years. I’m 5 ft short lol & weigh 250 lbs. When buying clothes I’ve been successful with a 3x-4x except their super tight in the arm so where can I find anything bigger than the 4-5x
My friend who was about 600 pounds passed. I have a beautiful black dress coat that was handmade for her. Not sure how much she weighed when she wore it. Does anyone know someone who would be interested in having it?
I can send measurements and a picture.
I have a niece who might be able to fit. I’m not sure how much she weighs but I’m guessing way more than 400 pounds. I know from my own experience, when I was close to 300 pounds, that finding nice things to wear can be next to impossible.
I would be interested in seeing a picture and discussing cost.
268 lbs male and can’t find briefs that aren’t too tight!
I’m honestly relieved to find that people like me and my wife can find things that fit!
