Plus-size clothing in Singapore
Ladies, we’re all familiar with this particular nightmare: finding a super pretty dress but having the staff tell you that they don’t have your size in stock. It’s frustrating and upsetting – especially if the item is on sale – and it’s a real problem that many plus-size women face constantly.
But that shouldn’t be the case.
Celebrate your curves by shopping at these plus-size boutiques in Singapore which stock sizes up to UK 28.

8. The Amber Loft – for petite plus-sized women

The Amber Loft was created for petite women on the fuller side since plus-size clothing from popular foreign brands tends to be too large for the Asian frame. All pieces are designed in-house and made to flatter your body.
Go for the Rebecca Fit and Flare Dress in Black ($79) which has tulip sleeves and a simple but classy beaded neckline. There are pockets skillfully sewn into the dress for you to bring along your knick-knacks without having to carry a bag.

Plus-size fashion for women in Singapore
It’s the 21st century and fashion is an important form of expression – people should not face restrictions just because they’re not average-sized. Nobody should be penalised for simply being different. Regardless of shape or size, we should all be able to buy and wear clothes that make us feel confident.
