I can’t tell you how many times I have walked into a store, taken one look at the clothing racks, and walked right out the door again because I know they are not going to have anything in my size. Every time I am shopping for a trip or an event, I need to plan way ahead and shop online. If the shipment gets delayed, or the thing I ordered doesn’t fit correctly and I don’t have time to mail it back and exchange it, I’m improvising, or buying something I like less at Target. It’s 2024, and still only an estimated 8% of stores carry plus sizes. In other words, the 67% of American women over size 14 are served by 8% of all retail stores. Something has to change.

There are some fantastic, size-inclusive designers that I love ordering from. The plus-size fashion market is improving if you know where to look. But in addition to these online options, I want to have the option of walking into a store and trying something on. I want to see a dress I like in a boutique shop window, and not automatically assume that it’s not available in my size. I want a store where I can buy boutique-quality clothing, and not just more fast fashion. I can’t fix the entire industry, but I had the realization recently that I can do something, and perhaps something is better than nothing.

By the way, I’m Becca. By day, I’m a software engineer in Seattle. When I’m not writing JavaScript, I’m working on Open Weave.

Open Weave is partnering with size-inclusive wholesalers to sell boutique-quality clothing in Seattle. We love clothing that is made in the USA, fair trade, or ethically produced. We don’t have a permanent location yet, but by supporting Open Weave in these early stages, you can help to make that a reality.

A quick disclaimer…

While I’m using the language size inclusive clothing, I recognize that brands that go up to 3X are not truly size-inclusive. Most of the clothing I am stocking at the moment fits in this category. The selection of high-quality clothing over size 3X sucks, and I know it.

As I look for size-inclusive pieces to add to my inventory, I need some help! Do you know of any great wholesale sellers who sell high quality in sizes 4X and above? If so, I would love to get in touch.

How do I get involved?

\nSubscribe to email. I promise not to spam you with marketing emails! This is the primary way to let you know when we have sales and local events. Plus, if you subscribe to emails I will send you a code that is good for 20% off any item you order online.
\nAttend an event. I want to provide as many opportunities as possible for you to shop in-person. If you are in or around Seattle, come meet our community, try on some new looks, and get free styling advice.
\nShop online. By shopping online, you are supporting my mission to improve access to plus-sized clothing in Seattle. If you are nearby, I offer free local delivery!

I’m still at the very beginning of this journey, and my number one goal right now is meeting people who want a store like this one to exist. If you are one of them, please reach out to me on instagram or becca@openweave.co. I would love to meet you!

Becca
