Plus Size Vintage Store Of The Week - Violetville Vintage on Etsy.com

Superb range of top-quality plus-size vintage gear available at Violetville Vintage - I thoroughly recommend you check it out.

 
Fab forties sexy-secretary black dress to fit up to US size 20! Deeply beautiful monochrome collar and cuff detail.


Forties/fifties belted dress in a rich silk-look gun metal grey.  Large white buttons and slouchy pockets make this dress.  A generous UK size 18.


Early 1970s accordion pleat dress in bright coral, size large.


 
Super plus-size 1940s vintage black dress with rose-shaped buttons.  So stylish and timeless, and very generously sized: Bust 50", Waist 41", Hips 54.


US size 18 forties silk pin-up dress, in great condition and with button & pocket detailing.  Sexy chic & kind of sailor/military "wartime" style. Really beautiful.


Hard to believe these are from the 1930s.  Vintage satin-rayon harem pants in peachy-gold tone.  Waist 32".

Unique Plus-size Vintage Fashions!

Looking for something a bit different?  These vintage pieces might fit the bill!


 
Evening wear or nightwear? I'm quite not sure but I know I like it!  Loose ruffle jumpsuit in fabulous electric purple, estimated to be from the 1940s-1960s.  Roughly US size 16. 


Ladies size US 16 1940s play-suit style shorts with suspenders/braces (depending on what you call them). Brand new vintage dead-stock.  Super-cute!


Super stylish 1970s palazzo-pant, halter-neck jumpsuit in the most fabulous canary yellow satin.  If you can pull this off people will presume its modern designer wear! US 16.


I'm in love with this one! Multi-colored halter-neck a-line dress with 34" waist.  I would guess its from the wonderful seventies.


Original eighties Oscar De La Renta gown with feature cowl neck.  Stunning colour, US size 16.

Plus-Size Vintage Flares & Bell-Bottoms

I don't know about you but I'm obsessed with flared trousers of all kinds: timeless, flattering and oh-so forties and seventies (my favourite style decades).  These plus-size picks are all available now on etsy.

These fan-dabby indigo flares could do with an ironing but look to be in great vintage condition and are a generous plus-size 36" waist.

Another pair of original indigo flares from the 70s, and these look like possibly the perfect pair!  Maverick brand with a large 33.5" waist.



Peach! Such a cool colour for these US size 14 flares.


These are utterly FAB! Listing says they are from the 1930s, but they sure are timeless! Extra-large vintage palazzo pants.


Authentic plus-size vintage US Navy 'utility' flared trousers in a 32" waist.

Another sixties mod-style dress, sleeveless with button detail, in extra-large

Metallic black early sixties sheath dress in approximately US14
