Tip Store: Clothes: Larger Sizes

​Plus Size Clothing Bargains

Finding reasonably priced larger clothes for special occasions led me to search online. Locally, anything remotely suggestive of "after 5" sky-rocketed the price. I searched the general eBay "plus sizes" and found some good, mainly secondhand items, and then found "BHFO" (previously called BH Factory Outlet). Their auctions (NOT their "buy it now"s!!) start at 99 cents, and my first three purchases were all at 99 cents (plus postage). I have some spectacular, beaded or embellished outfits (mainly chiffon) hanging in my wardrobe, and for the first time in my life, have a choice of what to wear when an occasion comes up. The most I have ever paid for one of these absolutely stunning creations is $50 (plus postage) ... if I had been able to find anything like that locally, it would have been at least $300-$400! Check it out - not everything suits, and I only buy those with sizes given. All manufacturers vary dramatically - but when I have bought something for a song and it didn't fit, I resold it on eBay and have never made a loss! Their winter jumpers etc. are also to die for (and likewise the prices).
