The best plus-size brands to shop now

For too long the fashion industry has ignored plus-size women. Body positivity may be a buzzy term, but - despite size 16 ranking as the UK's average clothing size - the fashion offering for larger women is still limited, often manifesting in diluted, undercooked versions of pieces originally designed for a size 10.

But times are changing and, while they might not be easy to find, a number of brands have emerged that accommodate and flatter curves, creating desirable looks that will appeal to women who love fashion. These are brands that are proud to dress the women they are designing for.
