5 Mistakes to Avoid While Shopping for Plus Size Clothes Online

Online shopping can be a blessing — if you avoid these common plus size fashion fails.

We get it — shopping for plus size clothing online in India can feel like a gamble. Sometimes it fits like a dream… and other times, you’re left wondering, “Is this even a 5XL?” 😅

Let’s make it easier. Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid when buying plus size outfits online — and what to do instead 👇


❌ Mistake 1: Ignoring the Size Chart

“I wear 3XL in other brands, so I’ll just pick 3XL here too.”

Wrong move! Sizes vary wildly between brands.

✅ What to do: Always check the brand’s own size chart and measure yourself (bust, waist, hips) for the best fit.

❌ Mistake 2: Buying Only Oversized Fits

Oversized doesn’t always mean flattering. You need structure, shape, and fit — not a tent.

✅ What to do: Look for pieces designed for plus size bodies, not just upsized versions of regular clothes.

❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring Fabric Details

You see a cute picture — but don’t check what the fabric is. Suddenly you’re stuck with polyester in peak Indian summer 🌞

✅ What to do: Choose breathable fabrics like cotton or rayon that feel soft and fall well on your body.
