Hey loves!! So this is my first blogging venture into anything remotely fashion related. But, I created this post out of a need for information based on my personal experiences.
As a plus size chic, and a former model, I, along with many other plus size women here in T&T, have experienced the frustration that often comes with going shopping for clothing but coming up empty handed because many stores don't carry anything over a size Large or XL. It got so bad, at least for me, that I would only buy my clothing online. Fortunately, in the past few years, we've seen the emergence of stores that cater solely for plus size, as well as stores that have increased their size range to include plus sizes. Here's a list of some of the places where we thick girls can find trendy goods at reasonable prices.

I want to ensure that all my ladies in the thickness business are aware that there are places in Trinidad and Tobago that are catering to our fashion needs. From formal wear, to casual; bridal, career wear and even intimate apparel, we have a plethora of options available to us. Do you know of any other stores? Please leave their name, location and contact in the comments so I can add them in. HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

this helped me so much!! since i've started accepting myself as plus size instead of avoiding clothes and stores that make me feel bad about my size, i've been looking for clothing that make me feel confident no matter what and you've definitely given me what i needed!! thank you so much <3 :D
