Plus Size, Cute/Nerdy Indie Fashion

No links, because I don't want Tumblr to eat the post, but message me if you have questions on anything. And if you have any suggestions for me, please let me know!

Morning Witch - Flora and fauna prints. I've purchased multiple midi skirts (with pockets!) and T-shirts, and one fantastic sweater. My datemate @fortangel loves their button downs, which have hip buttons to allow for more room.

Fresh Hot Flavors - Gorgeous prints and patterns, from floral to fantasy, anime-inspired to mythology, and of course pride colors. I've got their maxi and midi skirts, plus petticoats, all of which are super comfy and gorgeous and, again, pocketed.

Maya Kern - I've had my eye on her skirts for AGES, and now that I've got a few of my own I couldn't be happier! Once again, flora and fauna prints, plus some other neat options. These seem to fit a tad bit more snugly than the first two, so keep that in mind with sizing and be sure to pay attention to the measurements.

Witch Vamp - More skirts with pockets, skater, midi and max! A slightly darker/more edgy style, and some solid colors available too. My spider lily skirt from this shop may be the single most comfortable piece of clothing I own.

Vetiver Fox - Admittedly I don't have one of their skirts yet, but they're absolutely gorgeous and I'll be getting one as soon as they're in stock this summer. Truly stunning patterns, flora, fauna, and mythological.

Sealkie Cove - Source of my ridiculous, beloved, neon pink furby button down.

Crowlines - I don't have any of their clothes yet either, but the patterns are SO cute! Skirts and button downs. The best kitten prints ever, I think.

Cheek Boss - Odd shop out here, this one sells underwear and socks. The designs are lovely, they're ridiculously comfortable, and these are the first underwear I've ever looked at myself in and thought "Wow, I look cute!" The socks are also super cute, but I've had quality issues. Then again, they were from their first batch when they first started selling socks, and may have improved.

Hi! I love your skirt designs so much, but it is important to me for religious reasons that skirts go past my knees. I'm also fairly tall - 5'10", although with a long torso - and prefer to wear skirts at my natural waist. I could of course try to measure, but since it seems fairly close and I don't have experience measuring skirt length, I'm worried it won't be accurate. Can you give me any information on whether you think this might work? Thanks!

hi there! this isn't something i can accurately answer since where the skirt falls also depends on where you like it to comfortably sit. i would recommend measuring the length of the skirt from where you usually wear your waistband.

since the skirts fall around knee length or a little bit over on our 5'5" models, i'm going to guess that they would probably not cover your knees if you're 5'10", but i can't say for certain!

we do have some maxi skirt collabs over at @freshhotflavors if that's your thing, though!

Does anyone know where to find 3-4xl tradgoth fatshion? /nf

Sorry if this is the wrong blog to ask

Hi! This isn't the wrong blog to ask! I've separated this answer into parts to make this post easier to read.

Option 1: Independent Artists

I'm not super knowledgeable about where to buy fatshion myself. If I'm not simply buying from Torrid and hoping for the best, I'm probably buying from @mayakern. She's mainly known for her skirts, but she also sells shirts and I think is branching out to even more clothing types. These two skirts of hers may work for a goth aesthetic, and I think one is still available as a miniskirt as well.

A similar store is @freshhotflavors. They have an online store here along with their Tumblr. I haven't personally bought from them, but they work with Maya Kern. I've bought many a skirt from Maya Kern over the years and know her dedication to quality. She also has been very understanding with me about exchanging one of her skirts I accidentally got double of for christmas. So the fact that she works with Fresh Hot Flavors encourages me to trust FHF as well. I believe they sell some of her skirts in maxi length, but they sell a variety of other stuff too!

An artist that FHF works with who seems to make a lot of goth clothing is @vetiverfox. This is their website. I haven't bought from this artist either, but their skirts seem to be similar to Maya Kern's with the sizing, elastic waistband, and type of fabric used. So if their clothes are anything like Maya Kern's, I would give them a shot. Each of these three artists sell skirts that go up to a 6XL (though I think Maya has mentioned having some skirts that go up to 8XL too). I've only been talking about skirts, but each of these artists sells more than that.

Option 2: User Suggestions

I'm hoping our followers may have some advice for you about where to buy goth fatshion. @fine-ass-fatshion has knowledge about fatshion for sure. We've also recently reblogged some great goth fatshion from @wisteriaawillow, so I would definitely suggest asking them for advice on where to buy goth fatshion too. @iridessence wears a lot of pretty fatshion on her main blog, but her side blog @luxus-aeterna would be more your style. I don't know if the clothes she wears on that blog are technically goth or simply make me think of gothic clothing due to being historical clothing with generally darker fabrics, but look at her side blog just in case. I believe her FAQ mentions that she gives detailed information about how to find the clothes she wears if you donate to her work.

Option 3: Tailoring and Getting Creative

A lot of fat people have to resort to sewing and making their own clothes, but this can include taking stuff and simply making adjustments to them. For example, dyeing a shirt a more goth color, taking dollar store trinkets and making them into jewelry, etc. You can even do some clothing adjustments without needing to know how to sew! That's how I used to make my cosplays. People have suggested before to not discard the idea of going to a tailor either. If you happen to find some clothing you like but doesn't fit you, a tailor can help.

Option 4: Etsy and Commissions

Websites like Etsy sometimes can be a goldmine for specific aesthetics. However, Etsy tends to be expensive due to shipping and/or items being handmade by artists. I also hate that a lot of artists on Etsy charge fat people more money for the same product. Additionally, Etsy is probably a better store for accessories rather than your main outfit.

If you're willing to pay for the quality of handmade clothing fitted specifically for your body type and measurements, I've honestly considered the idea myself of commissioning cosplay artists for clothing, which can be done through Etsy or by meeting cosplay artists at anime conventions. If you go to a local anime convention and meet an artist there, you may even find an artist so local that you can try on the clothes during the process of making them so that you know they definitely will fit you at the end. I've thought about this usually regarding cosplay, but a cosplayer who does commissions would probably be able to make clothing that isn't for cosplaying a character as long as you gave them references.

Option 5: Online Stores and Our Pinned Post

Lastly, our pinned post has a link to our FAQ Google Doc, and that Google Doc includes links to online stores that sell plus size clothing. And here is a link to a post we shared about a month ago that has resources for buying jfashion. A lot of of the photos on the post include fatshion that could be useful for a goth aesthetic, though I say that without much knowledge about goth clothing.

I hope one of these suggestions will be of help to you!! Have a good day! cx

do you have any recommendations for indie skirt makers that we can buy from while you're closed?

Aaaand the @freshhotflavors skirt I've been looking at forever. So glad I finally bought it

[kikiknits]

Project 26/33 for 2022! Pattern is Diaphanous Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs, this time with the bishop sleeves fully knitted!

This sweater is SO warm, and I think another is definitely somewhere in my future. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite sweater patterns.

Spider lily skirt is from @freshhotflavors

[magebird]

Big hair transformation today. :) Color inspo from this gorgeous skirt from @mayakern and @freshhotflavors 🧡💜🧡💜

[naptimeclown]

Posting the costume anyways cause I had fun with it. No makeup cause I need to get new clown white. I have a wig for it but it needs to be restyled after moving so I'm not wearing it here.

I like it a lot more than I thought I would though I want to get a different petticoat and a belt. The petticoat just so it matches better and the belt cause the middle feels like it's missing something to me. I'll have to find a different shirt for warm weather clowning since it averages mid 90s here and I will perish in that turtle neck but for indoor stuff it'd be fine. I'd also love to add a neck ruffle/collar but I can't decide on a design or pattern. Thoughts, suggestions, opinions on the costume appreciated. Just remember to be kind. I'd also love to hear character name ideas.

And if you like the skirt and want it for yourself I got it at freshhotflavors

Absolutely loving my new skirt from @freshhotflavors (socks from @sockdreams )

[kiragecko]

I have skirts!

After 2 years of @unpretty hyping @mayakern, Kern did a collab with @freshhotflavors and there were MAXISKIRTS. I like my skirts long.

I ended up only getting one of Kern's patterns, an elegant shade of red with dark outlines that screams ROSES so loud that you don't notice immediately that it's actually hands. I like it!

I also got a stained glass window pattern (Fresh Hot Flavour collab with @elefluff), and a witches hut pattern that I'm pretending is an apothecary. The apothecary is full of little vials and books and is a GORGEOUS green.

I'm really happy with all of them!

They're gentle on my waist without seeming like they'll start falling off in a few weeks. The skirts are almost too long. I'm not short, but my belly has grown, and the size that fits my waist seems like it might be optimized for someone 2" (5cm) taller. Definitely not a problem in the winter, where I'm always in multiple layers, and it's easy to shift things around to keep them high enough (it's been -20 to -30℃ all week, with a nasty chill, so my skirts are a top layer). Might need to fold them in the summer.

Material is very elasticky. Never seen this texture in a skirt this big - I've only experienced it with skater skirts and yoga wear. Neat! Here in the middle of the dry and cold, the eczema on my hands keeps snagging slightly on the fabric. Not enough to be annoying, but enough to notice. However, it feels like I could wear it in summer without boiling, AND it acts as a good winter wind break. Feels nice, even if it doesn't activate the Good Texture™ part of my neurodivergent brain.

Pockets are as wonderful as advertised - big, made of silky material, and at a comfortable height, if slightly further back than I expect (so that they can be integrated into the side seams).

Patterns are definitely the highlight. All three are VERY pleasing. Colourful, scaled well for the clothing they're on, good detail. Tiny and I spent 5 minutes finding all the different items in the apothecary shop and deciding what they were.

Definitely a good purchase, even if Canadian customs charged me a surprise $40 extra when they arrived. Not sure what that was about.

SKIRTS!

I finally did it! Behold the beautiful abomination of an outfit that is my @sealkiecove furby shirt combined with my @freshhotflavors long furby skirt. I still need to buy furby earrings!

[mayakern]

Hi Maya, I’ve bought one of your skirts before, and I absolutely love it, but that’s kinda besides my point here. I saw this on my shop app, and it looks like someone is stealing your designs. I dunno if you’re affiliated with them or what, but i wanted to bring it to your attention.

that’s @freshhotflavors ! they are friends of mine and those are official collab skirts, which i get paid royalties for.

if you check the listings you can see i am credited as the artist and you can even filter their store listings by artist

[freshhotflavors]

Mornin! Quick question, if I pre-ordered skirts from the collaboration with Maya Kern that you did back in october, it showed up on my credit card, it shows up when I log into your website for orders waiting to be fulfilled, but I never received an order confirmation email, is that a problem?

Ah, a little! If you can't find a confirmation email that means you likely won't get a shipping confirmation email with the tracking number - email us at freshhotflavors at gmail and we'll update your email address in your order so you can receive those notifications! Your order is still in our system and will still ship, but we wanna make sure you can get tracking and confirm the shipping address and everything :)

[rosesongstress]

THEY CAME!! Ordered through @freshhotflavors I got a @mayakern space whale skirt and a @shopwitchvamp spider lily skirt! Hoping to wear one of them tomorrow! They've already been put in the washer and are hanging to dry!

Featuring doggo nose because she needs to sniff EVERYTHING that comes into the house.
