Here’s a question from CoColicious reader Tracy regarding shopping in NYC for plus-size fashions:
Hi Netta P,
I’m going out to visit my dad in America at new year (New York), he has offered to take me shopping. I’m 18 and plus size, where are good places to go?
Thanks
Tracy

tracy! oh i’m so excited that you’ll be visiting one of my favorite places in the WORLD. i recommend re/dress, monif c., lee lee’s valise, the lane bryant headquarters, which is in brooklyn, the forever 21 (go down one floor and to the left when you get there) in times square, macy’s has a good plus size section here, fashion to figure, marina rinaldi (expensive!), orchard corset for lingerie, daffy’s sometimes has really expensive things, nordstrom rack (which is actually out on long island, the one in union square doesn’t carry their plus sizes – BOO!), famous brands in astoria queens, smile for every sistah in you in brooklyn, and, of course, there’s avenue and ashley stewart and old navy, strawberry and rainbow (very cheaply made, though), and bloomingdale’s. *phew* i think i got them all. if you have any specific questions when you’re here, you can always find me on twitter!
