Lifestyle Tips #1: Where to buy Plus Size Clothes (Philippines)

On my last post Print + Print one of the readers (hope i would know her/his name though :) please!!! ) suggested to post about where we can buy or where do i shop clothes for plus size. And today i will share my TOP 5 where i usually bought my clothes. 


TOP #1- Erzullie 
Of course one of the reason why i love this, because we designed all of our merchandise. Surely, we based our product on the "needs" of other plus size to have on their closet.  We are producing from outerwear to basic tops to cater more plus size needs and styles :)
Price range: (Php300-1,500) 

These are the tops that i have worn for casual days. I usually pair with shorts or jeans and flats. So comfy!!

TOP #2- SM Department Store
I must admit they have a lot of choices for Plus Size like me. Most of my jeans i bought are from SM

Price range: (Php600-900)


TOP #3- Surplus Shop  
Cardigans and Sandos are bought from Surplus Shop  

 Price range: (Php350-600)


For full figured woman... most of my jeans are stretchy and skinny fitted, for me to show my curves perfectly and for the Cardigan, i usually paired with dresses and sando :) 

TOP #4- Bazaar Finds (Ward88, Pippa Clothing, Cultus Couture)
Well, since our pop-up store mainly in bazaar, i do visit of these store for new arrival or collection for plus size. Most of their pieces are very comfortable in a reasonable price. 

Price range: (Php350-900)

  
In Ward88- most of my shorts are bought from them. They cater more on casual and shorts for plus size. Pippa Clothing and Cultus Couture however, are basically for regular size but... The Blazer and Cardigan are stretchy and actually they are perfectly fit for me.  

TOP #5- Thift House/Shop
I really do love shopping in Ukay-Ukay. You can find a lot for us! i mean, its cheap and fashionable.




As you can see i do have a lot of Blazer or Outerwear. :) Its really good investment for every woman living in the metro. I can wear it in casual and smart casual.

That's it!!! :) hope i answered your needs for fashion finds :)

  4. Wow that is some great advice for girls in the philippines. I really wish I had this knowledge when I lived in the Philippines, when i lived there I just never bought clothes because i could never find my size but it was ok because i was in a school uniform 6 days a week. hehe

    PS I'm a new follower to your blog and I already love it! :)

    1. Hi,
      Thank you for reading my post. Well, since i have my fashion line i usually get from it. But, we are making sure na its worth the price. Sometimes i go around to see more clothes for me. For ukay- ukay stuff i usually go to Makati square and Cubao. for Bazaar i usually go to Global Pinoy and Supersale Bazaar

  16. Thank you for this! And you're right, one must not be afraid to shop in thrift shops. They are not only affordable, but fashionable too. It is like hitting two birds with one stone! :3

  18. Forever 21 (you'll find everything for all occasions here), SM Department store and Greenhills (ang dami nang plus size options sa mga tiangge!) ang forever rescue-favorites ko.

    Dorothy Perkins, Marks&Spencer, Debenhams and Warehouse are a more expensive, but they have a good and wide range of sizes comfortable for many plus size body type variations.

    H&M is plus size friendly also and they're opening in the new wing of SM soon!
