Black Friday Sales 2015

We all want to have that dream wardrobe, right? One thing that holds many people back is the cost, which is totally understandable. That’s why buying things on sale is a great idea – and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday looming, now is a great time to shop up a storm.

For those of you not familiar with them, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the two big shopping days following Thanksgiving in the USA – a day when many retailers have sales. Not to be forgotten is Small Business Saturday – because supporting small businesses (like your favourite indie designers!) is really important, especially in the world of plus size fashion where many businesses are just one or two amazing people making great clothes.

Some sales are pretty amazing so for those of you looking to pick up something new for yourself (or nab some Christmas presents!), I’ve put together some of the great sales I’ve seen from plus size retailers. I’ll update these as I become aware of them, so make sure you keep checking back or let me know if there is one I’ve missed.
