Looking for online plus size women’s clothing catalogs? Men’s catalogs? Want an option with credit? Here’s the list of plus size catalogs (mostly online, though some have brick and mortar stores as well) that feature plus-sized clothing catalogs and offer a store credit card. For all these stores, you can browse online. Some will mail you a traditional mail order catalog, while others post their catalogs in digital format on their websites.

Plus Size Clothing Catalogs

The following stores have plus size clothing catalogs (though some catalogs are digital or online only). Some stores are exclusively for plus sizes, while other offer plus sizes as well as other departments. We’ve included the plus sizes these stores sell, and what their style is. Stores are organized by whether they have brick and mortar stores or are online only. Some offer plus size mail order catalogs, while others only have online catalogs. We’ve noted which have which.

All these stores offer credit cards under their own name. Most store credit cards require only a soft credit check, which means it won’t negatively affect your credit score, and you’ll be more likely to qualify even if you have a bad credit score. A couple even offer pre-approval via the shopping cart trick. How can you be sure they’re doing a soft rather than hard check when you apply? If you only enter the last four digits of your Social Security number, it’s a soft check. If you’re asked to enter your entire Social Security number, they’re running a hard check.

When deciding on a credit card, you might also want to keep in mind where you can use the card. Most of the time, you can only use store credit cards at the store you apply with (these are called “closed loop” cards). If a store card can be used anywhere, its usually issued by Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. We’ve noted where you can use each store’s card. Also, keep an eye on discounts. Most cards come with special discounts for new cardholders, and have a points or rewards system. These offers are time sensitive, so visit the card website to see whats available when you’re applying.

In Summary

Plus size catalogs are out there for your choosing.

If you wear plus-sized clothing, you may struggle to find stylish and affordable clothing. These 15+ plus size clothing catalogs for men and women all offer credit, making it possible for you to be well-dressed and still on top of your finances. An important reminder if you use credit: remember to make those monthly payments. Late fees and higher interest rates can really add up. If you pay on time you’ll avoid the costly fees and high interest rates, which means you’ll have more money to spend on clothes!
