Real Talk: Shopping as a Plus Size Woman in India (And Why It Sucks)
If you’ve ever walked out of a store holding back tears — this one’s for you.
We’re not going to sugarcoat it — shopping while plus size in India is exhausting.
You walk into a store. Nothing fits. The staff stares. You leave feeling like you don’t belong.
We’ve been there. And it’s exactly why we created The Plus Size Co.
🛍️ The Struggles We Know Too Well
- ❌ Trial rooms that barely fit your body
- ❌ Staff offering you dupattas to “cover up”
- ❌ “Free size” = size L at best
- ❌ Brands calling 2XL “plus size” and stopping there
- ❌ Price hikes just because your body is bigger
Let’s say it loud: YOU are not the problem. The industry is.
💭 The Emotional Toll No One Talks About
Plus size women don’t just shop for clothes. We navigate judgment, disappointment, and awkward silences.
We don’t try on clothes for fun. We do it with a mix of hope and anxiety. And every “sorry, we don’t have your size” chips away at your confidence.
“I once pretended I was shopping for someone else — just because I was embarrassed to ask for a 5XL.”
— Priya, 6XL
🌈 The Change We’re Building at The Plus Size Co
We’re done waiting for traditional brands to include us. So we built a space where:
- ✔️ Sizes M to 10XL are always in stock
- ✔️ You never have to pay more for a bigger size
- ✔️ Every design is made with your body in mind
- ✔️ Real customer voices are heard, always

🧡 We’re Not Just a Brand — We’re a Movement
Every time you wear something from us, you’re sending a message: “My body deserves fashion. Comfort. Style. Joy.”
You’re telling other women it’s okay to take up space. To wear color. To feel seen.
This isn’t just about kurtas and co-ords. It’s about healing the relationship between your body and the mirror.
