Looking for plus size woman clothing, grandes tailles, plus size evening wear, plus size bathing suits, plus size coats, in Paris?
You might like to join me in Paris in September 2024!
Hi, this is Teena in Australia – welcome to my website and list of Plus Size stores in Paris.
I have located some great fashions, stores and websites to share with you.
Before COVID-19, I hosted Plus Size Fashion Adventure in Paris, where we visited plus size stores in the mornings, and explored Paris in the afternoons and evenings.
The feedback from the small groups who shared this Paris fashion adventure was always “an adventure you’ll never forget!” Faaabulous to hear such glowing reviews!
Would you like Plus Size Paris updates?
And I have just started planning the NEXT Plus Size Shopping Adventures in Paris for September 2024! Woohoo! Pop over here, sign up for more info, download the must-have shopping guide, and I’ll be in touch again soon!
PS – if you’re also on my Postcards From Paris mailing list, you’ll be hearing about those and much more :-)
In the meantime, enjoy the information about these stores and websites for Plus Size Fashion in Pars! 💜
Tip! The French for “plus size” is:
- “Femmes Rondes“
- or “Grandes Tailles“

Difference in Plus Sizes
France uses a different sizing system than the United States.
U.S. dress size 18 is a size 50 in France.
If you buy a plus size item of clothing made in France, the tag will show the French size. Buying the same dress in the USA, you would find that the clothing tag will show U.S. sizing as well as showing the foreign origin of the dress, possibly as “Imported” or “Made in France”.

Join me in Paris for a Plus Size Fashion Shopping Tour, one of my favourite Paris Adventures!
I live in Australia, and I used to live in Paris many years ago so I return every year or two for the European summer, and host my “Adventures” which include the Plus Size Fashion Tour of Paris. I meet with a small group of women and show them a series of plus size stores they might enjoy — if you’d rather a one-on-one shopping adventure please contact me to discuss. If I’m not in Paris when you’ll be there, use this page to give some locations to start checking out a few stores on your own. Have fun!
Tip! Hire a seamstress or dressmaker in Paris
Hire a Parisian dressmaker if you don’t have the time to shop or if you want a dress that is not readily available in the stores. Contact the concierge at your hotel at least two weeks before your arrival date. The Concierge will be able to help you set up an appointment with a local dressmaker. You can select your fabric and pattern and then complete your fittings while you in Paris. The dressmaker can then finish your dress and ship it to your U.S. home or office.
Heading across “the Pond” to England?
If you’re going to be in the U.K., there are specialty plus size woman clothing shops such as Ann Brooks which only sell plus size clothing. Other UK plus size labels and stores are New Look, Etam, Marks and Spencers and BHS.

The COVID CONUNDRUM
January 2021 – COVID-19 & Omicron Update
As the world struggles to cope with more versions of COVID-19, international and even local travel is on hold in many parts of the globe.
The trip from where I live in Brisbane to Paris was 36 hours prior to COVID, and now the thought of being quarantined in other countries – or in France – means that international travel for me is not happening any time soon.
Please stay safe wherever you are and follow the recommendations to protect yourself and others from spreading COVID. Sending lots of hugs and hope to see you at some point in the future 💜
January 2020 – COVID-19 Update
Paris is still closed – flying from Australia to Paris isn’t happening, so the Adventures are on hold until international travel and COVID restrictions are lifted in both Australia and France.
