Magically-Themed Small Shops with Inclusive Sizing
There it was: the perfect shirt. A reference to her favorite movie with a cool design that doesn't scream, "I'm a Disney dork!" (Which, actually, we don't have a problem with, so...) Uh oh, it only goes up to XL. No problem, I thought. I'll message the shop and see if they can do a special order. "Sorry, we don't do custom," they said. "But if it helps, the XL is unisex." Spoiler alert: it doesn't help.
This is my best friend, Chrissy. We've known each other since kindergarten. We've Disney-ed together multiple times. I was her maid of honor. I crashed her first wedding anniversary vacation at Walt Disney World. And we're two totally different sizes. My dream was, is, and will always be for us to wear matching outfits on vacation together - but how can we do that if stores only carry up to an extra large? Don't plus-sized fans of Disney and other theme parks deserve cute and fun clothes to wear?
So I put out an APB in a Facebook group and my Instagram stories asking for the names of small, independent shops that offer inclusive sizing. Below is a list of the shops I've found so far, and here's a link to a Google Doc including their websites, IGs, and sizes offered that you can bookmark for easy reference! This list is up-to-date as of February 13, 2020 and is a perpetual work in progress. I'll definitely be adding more shops as I come across them. Please tell me if there are any others that you know of! (OK the title says 21 but there are more than 21 now!)
