I hope someone else chimes in with more suggestions. If not, I’d be happy to make some suggestions if you’re willing to go beyond Georgetown.




OP here. I welcome recommendations for stores that carry plus sizes in their stores (not just online). It feels like most stores just offer them online but not in the actual stores.


Do you follow Katie Sturino on social media? You should, she covers this type of stuff and is awesome and fashionable and inspirational


I will look her up now. Thank you.

I would not head to Georgetown to shop for plus sizes. Tysons probably has the most variety of stores in the metro area.


Thank you.

Size 16-18 is usually where body shape and proportion start to differ significantly from straight sizes so that there needs to be a different cut. Size 12 and 14 are just a proportionally larger 10.

1X is a 14/16 that is cut in a plus size silhouette. That’s why 1X is different from XL.
Lane Bryant carries 14s and 16, but they’re W sizes like 14W and fit different from a Banana or J Crew 14.

Plus size is more about proportion and body shape than a number size.


True, but, some stores and some designers stop at size 10 — although since clothing sizes aren’t standardized, what “ size 10” actually means as a fit can vary widely. Also, I have occasionally seen size 0x — which is the W body shape proportions in a smaller size.

I literally couldn’t walk down the street today. Fought crowds in every store. Had to eat at chipotle because the lines were too long at every other restaurant.

I’m not sure what the stores have in stock, but Neiman Marcus has lots of Plus size clothes in their catalogs and online. They carry a range of designers as well as their own label. Nordstrom and Nordstrom’s Rack would also be excellent options.

Add JJill to the big list of shops with great plus size selection.
