Plus-size Brands That Use Natural Fibers
Did you know plus-size thrifting was a thing?
I had the best shopping experience of my life a few weeks ago. I finally made it out to Utah’s only plus size thrift shop, and the forty-five-minute drive was so worth it.
For the first time, I walked into a clothing store without wondering if I would find anything that fit me—or if I did, if it would be remotely within my price range (looking at you, Torrid).
But this shop—Curveture in Provo, UT—was a dreamland. Not only did I find everything I was looking for, including pants that fit AND matched my alt style—but I was also able to find everything in natural fibers. Never in my life did I think I could have all three on my budget!
You can even order from them online, but they currently don’t list the material makeup for each piece. I do encourage you to see if there is a plus size thrift store in your state, though. Unfortunately there is no directory yet (maybe I should make one?) but you can try searching your state or city + plus size thrift store.
If one hasn’t opened in your area yet, you can consider ordering natural fiber brands you recognize and love from Curveture—they’ll ship anywhere in the U.S.! In the meantime, take a look at our huge list of natural fiber brands with extended sizing, some of which also have second-hand selections. Brands with plus-size models to the front!
