Slay alert: If you’re stuck between sizes, you’re not alone—here’s your cheat sheet to finding brands that actually fit. We’re talking about the weird middle ground where your body doesn’t fit neatly into “straight” or “plus,” and you’re basically a mystery to the fashion world. Spoiler: There are still brands that get you, and they’re way more chill than you think.
First up: Universal Standard is your BFF for big boobs and waist-defying shapes. Their 00-40 range is basically a dream come true for anyone who’s ever felt like a puzzle piece in a box. Then there’s Gap—yes, really? Their quality has gone from “meh” to “meh but decent” lately, and J. Crew is basically the same. Everlane is a solid bet for basics that don’t break the bank, and Anthropologie? It’s still magical for whimsical prints, but be warned: their matronly vibe might not match your vibe.
If you’re into goth chic, Luukaa is your vibe. Think Eileen Fisher meets a little bit of darkness. Rujuta Sheth is a lifesaver for patterned pants with adjustable waists—like a custom fit without the custom price tag. And Bird Collective? Their bird-themed tees are unisex, quirky, and totally rad. For formal wear, Adrianna Papell and Sachin & Babi are your go-to for dresses that don’t feel like a costume.
Now, the stores you’re eyeing but haven’t tried yet? Eileen Fisher and Reformation are cult classics, but they’re basically a waiting game. MM LaFleur is a dream for luxe basics, while Wild Fang? Not sure if it’s worth the hype. Fashion Brand Company is wacky, but Ester Manas is less wacky (and still weird). Rachel Antonoff is too twee for my aesthetic, but Laws of Motion is a pro for workwear with personalized sizing.
💫 Don’t skip the adjustable waistbands—they’re your secret weapon.
Shop brands that prioritize inclusive sizing like Universal Standard or Rujuta Sheth. Don’t skip the adjustable waistbands—they’re your secret weapon. And if you’re into slow fashion, Curator SF and Wolf & Badger are your new obsessions.
