Eleven Spanish Brands For Plus Size Women by Christa Cripwell

As fashion brands are (finally) beginning to genuinely incorporate plus-size sections in their collections, cutting-edge clothing is much more accessible for plus-size women. This watershed moment in fashion history has created an exciting and revolutionary time in which women can rock their curves in their chosen style, as opposed to one that was chosen for them due to limited plus-size options. Despite this change, shopping for plus-size clothing can still feel daunting, particularly when you are travelling and unfamiliar with the lay of the retail land. Well, when it comes to Spain, VOLUP2 has done the work for you.

Enjoy!
