"While we may not always agree with calling something (or someone) \"plus-size,\" or even \"straight size\" or \"petite size\" for that matter, we can definitely get on board with more brands creating wider ranges of sizes...and doing it in style. The options for size 16 and above keep getting better and better (see ya, shapeless sacks!), so we thought we'd highlight eight brands that are upping the style ante. Read on for the goods, and get ready to start adding to cart.\n\nFor a Little Bit of Edge: Carmakoma\n\n This Danish label is designed by two women who believe that \"clothes should fit the body, and not the reverse.\" It's hard to argue with that\u2014and even harder when you take a look at the brand's seriously covetable faux leather skirts. Monochrome reigns supreme here, but if you'd rather break out motorcycle boots than, say, pink espadrilles, this is your site. Hint: Make sure to hit up the sale section for some serious deals!\n\nFor a Major Wardrobe Stock-Up: Asos\n\n Asos's pluz-size section curates some of the best labels out there, including its in-house collection, Asos Curve. The result? A full scope of total must-haves at pretty much any price point you could ask for. Plus, even UK-only brands can be shipped across the pond when you order from Asos, meaning you'll have some totally one-of-a-kind pieces in your wardrobe.\n\nFor Net-a-Porter Addicts: Navabi\n\n This site is all about high fashion without the sticker shock. You can find some really great special-occasion frocks, so bookmark it for your cousin's wedding or that fancy summer party. If you don't know where to start, click on over to their inspiration section for some awesome curated lookbooks.\n\nFor Budget-Friendly Finds: Forever 21\n\n This mall staple has its ubiquitous status for one reason: Seriously cute clothes that fit every budget. The Forever 21+ collection doesn't disappoint with bang-on-trend pieces that'll cost you not-so-many pretty pennies. Think bright, sunny florals, awesome maxi dresses, and high-style swimwear.\n\nFor Bespoke, Retro Charm: eShakti\n\n Dig the vintage vibe but would prefer getting the right fit the first time, thankyouverymuch? eShakti is where it's at. All you have to do is pick out the style you like, and they'll make it according to your measurements and get it to you in 14 days (you also get the option to pick your type of sleeve and skirt length on some styles). The base prices hover between $60 and $100, and it's just an extra $7.50 for a bespoke garment. What's not to love?\n\nFor Serious It Brit Style: Dorothy Perkins\n\n Gotta hand it to the girls across the pond, whose effortless style could fill a thousand blogs. A shopping go-to for them? Dorothy Perkins, which conveniently ships to the U.S. (yay!). The site regularly goes up to a size 18, and with super-reasonable prices, it's a little hard to stay away\u2014not that you'd want to.\n\nFor Sweet Vintage Flair: ModCloth\n\n This treasure trove of retro-inspired fashion has a great plus-size section, and the quirky, classy clothes are really hard to resist. Another perk of the site? Its customer service is available 24/7\u2014perfect for all those #vamping shopping sessions. And don't forget that Nicolette Mason's new ModcCloth line is coming out in October, and it covers sizes up to 4X!\n\nFor a Little Bit of Everything: SimplyBe\n\n Another hit from the Brits, SimplyBe could fill your closet in a few fell clicks. Whether you skew sweet or lean a little edgy, there's something on here for everyone. And just in case you're in the market for that perfect cut-out bootie, the site's got a cool and comprehensive shoe collection, too."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
