Where to Buy Women’s Plus-Size Clothing in Bulk for Resale

The US plus-size women’s apparel market is substantial – about $13.3B in 2025 – and growing (~5.7% annually). Boutique owners and fashion retailers can tap this demand by sourcing extended-size styles from reliable wholesalers. Online channels and specialized platforms now feature thousands of plus-size items.

Major B2B marketplaces (Alibaba, FashionTIY, DHgate, etc.) list huge catalogs of plus-size dresses, tops, swimwear, lingerie and more. For example, FashionTIY’s plus-size section advertises an “extensive range” of plus-size dresses, tops, swimwear and lingerie to meet diverse retail needs. Marketplaces like OrangeShine, Faire or FashionGo also have dedicated plus-size categories, each carrying thousands of curve-friendly styles with global shipping options.

Online Wholesale Platforms

Besides niche brands, online wholesale marketplaces are key sources. Global suppliers on Alibaba/FashionTIY offer rock-bottom prices on plus-size apparel (often with high MOQs and long lead times). US/UK–based platforms like Faire and OrangeShine curate plus-size collections from many brands.

For instance, OrangeShine’s “Trendy Plus-Size Fashion” category displays thousands of items (e.g. plus-size dresses, sets, jackets, loungewear) for boutique buyers. These sites streamline ordering and shipping – some even provide dropshipping tools for retailers. However, international suppliers (e.g. China-based) may charge for weighty shipments; by contrast, US-based marketplaces often offer free/flat-rate shipping on large orders.

Specialized Plus-Size Wholesale Vendors

Below are some leading plus-size wholesale suppliers (both niche brands and broader vendors) to consider:

66Disco (66disco.com) – A global plus-size fashion wholesaler. 66Disco carries thousands of curvy styles (oversized tops, blouses, sweaters, dresses, pants, denim, jackets, even swimwear and loungewear) designed for sizes 1XL–4XL. Its site is updated weekly with new designs. Ordering is flexible: in-stock items sell “open-pack” (no minimum order required), while pre-orders/accessories have modest MOQs (about 6–12 pieces). Unit prices are very low when bought in bulk, with volume discounts for larger buys. 66Disco ships from US by FedEx/DHL/UPS (typically 7–12 business days); heavier orders enjoy cheaper per-unit freight (about $32 per 0.5kg initial rate). Retailers praise 66Disco’s broad assortment and value – it boasts a 4.9/5 customer rating. (Plus, 66Disco supports dropshipping via its platform for online boutiques.)

Wholesale Fashion Trends (WFT) – LA-based wholesaler with a strong plus-size line. It offers trendy plus-size blouses, dresses, jumpsuits and more “at below wholesale prices”. WFT inventory ships from its U.S. warehouse, and items typically run under $10–$15 each. Free U.S. shipping is available on orders over $300 (flat $14.95 otherwise), with very fast domestic delivery.

Tasha Apparel – Another Los Angeles wholesaler known for current styles (including plus-size basics and seasonal fashion). Tasha advertises “wholesale women’s plus size clothing… all at 60% off”. They stock full collections of plus-size dresses, rompers, tops, bottoms, etc. Tasha offers daily shipping from LA and free domestic freight on orders over ~$300. They also run a dropship program and smaller pack sizes (many items come 6-per-pack), which is useful for boutiques testing new styles.

Wholesale Fashion Square (WFS) – A Los Angeles distributor with an emphasis on inclusivity. WFS explicitly highlights “inclusive curve sizing up to 3XL”. They carry a rotating assortment of plus-size dresses, sets, outerwear and casual basics, balancing fresh runway-inspired looks with wardrobe essentials. Retailers report that WFS frequently updates its plus-size catalogs and runs promotions (e.g. 10% sitewide discounts).

Capella Apparel – A boutique-focused plus-size wholesaler. Capella “champions the beauty of diversity” by offering women’s apparel up to 3XL. Their line includes plus-size dresses, tunics, blazers, denim, and lounge sets. Capella prides itself on design variety and high-quality fabrics – for example, they carry both trendy prints and everyday basics to outfit any plus-size boutique.

FashionTIY – A large online wholesaler (China-based) with an enormous plus-size category. The site advertises “trendy extended plus size wholesale clothing”. You can find virtually any type of plus-size apparel (tops, bottoms, outerwear, swimwear, lingerie, even plus lingerie and intimates) in bulk. Prices are very low compared to US distributors, but buyers must handle international shipping and import duties. FashionTIY ships worldwide (via DHL/UPS/EMS) from its Chinese warehouses.

Each supplier above has different strengths: 66Disco and FashionTIY offer massive selection at low cost (with longer shipping), while US wholesalers like WFT, Tasha and WFS provide faster local delivery and often lower MOQs. Boutiques should compare factors like unit price, minimums, shipping fees, and product style when choosing suppliers.

Offline Sourcing: Trade Shows & Fashion Districts

Beyond online channels, many plus-size vendors can be found in-person. Major wholesale markets and trade shows often include plus-size lines. For example, the Dallas Market Center explicitly lists an “Extended Sizes – Plus” category in its apparel directory, and Atlanta Apparel/Las Vegas (formerly MAGIC) markets routinely feature plus-size exhibitors.

The Los Angeles Fashion District (3rd Street area) is home to dozens of plus-size showrooms and manufacturers (brands like American Bazi, SHE+SKY, Peek-A-Boo, etc.), many open to public buyers. Retailers can also attend specialty events (Full Figured Fashion Week in NYC, District of Curves expos, Curvy Fashionista Style Expo) to meet plus-size designers face-to-face, see samples on the runway, and establish vendor relationships. These trade events and shopping districts complement online sourcing by providing hands-on sourcing opportunities.

Each of these channels – global marketplaces, niche wholesale brands, and live markets – offers a route to stock trendy plus-size inventory in bulk. By leveraging a mix of online platforms and trade resources, boutique owners can reliably supply their shelves with the latest curvy fashions.
