Plus size lolita dresses
Lolita is for every body. Many Chinese brands now make each print in a wide size range, and we check the chart for you.
New pieces are being photographed and added. You do not have to wait: send us any Taobao lolita link, or describe what you want, and we quote it within 24 hours.
Why Chinese brands are a good place to look
Many older Japanese brands offered one size with shirring. Chinese indie brands have gone the other way: a lot of releases now come in S to XL, many in 2XL to 4XL, and some brands take made-to-measure orders. The catch is that Chinese size letters run smaller than US or UK letters, so the measurements matter more than the label.
How to read a plus size chart
- Bust and waist minimum–maximum: shirred panels stretch between two numbers. Aim for your measurement to sit in the middle, not at the maximum.
- Fixed waist: if there is no shirring, your waist must be at or below the listed number.
- Length: larger sizes are sometimes longer. Check skirt length against your height if you prefer a knee-length look.
- Arm opening: on OPs, the upper arm is often the tightest point. Send us your upper arm measurement.
Shapes that help
Dresses with full shirred back panels, lace-up backs and adjustable straps give the most room. Empire waists and A-line skirts are comfortable with or without a petticoat. Our size guide shows exactly what to measure.
We check before you pay
Send your measurements with your request. If no size fits comfortably, we say so and suggest a brand or cut that will, or ask the brand whether a custom size is possible.
