Marilyn Convertible Dress from MonifC

So we've seen the list of the biggest, brightest sites for plus-size fashion. They're the sites that everyone shops at, to the point where you can sometimes recognize where one of your friends might have gotten her top, or realize that you're wearing the same thing as the lady at the back of the bus, which is really annoying.

So you have to do some scouring, sometimes, to find reliable sources of cuteness and hipness and that special kind of stylishness only you can bring to the yard, from which you will kick out all the boys because they don't deserve you, pretty thing. Here's a handful of good sites, for everything from workout wear to lingerie, to check out and keep your wardrobe--oh, I'm going to say it--funky fresh.

• SWAK Designs: They've got flat $5.00 shipping! A ton of basics. And some really cute stuff, especially this Darcy dress.
  

• Curvy Girl Clothing is just a little bit--okay, a lot--hoochie, in much of their clothing, but maybe you want to be a hoochie! I do not judge. In fact, I love you. But I also love some of their slightly less wacky clothes, like this classic pin-up girl polka dot dress, which is very adorable and very affordable, and belongs to you.
  

• Monif C: pretty pricey but very gorgeous, especially for incredible party dresses, which you should wear under a fresh-looking spring coat.

• Much like alight, zaftique has got a hundred thousand items, and a lot of them are scary, but scour the site and you'll find cute basics for affordable prices.
  

• J.Jill has always made me think "sexy art teacher." Actually, sexy, well-paid art teacher. The clothes are tailored and sophisticated, but with a slightly arty twist.
