Japanese plus size fashion has become much more accessible in recent years; however, international shipping is still surprisingly rare. If you live outside Japan, using a proxy shipping service is often the easiest and most reliable way to shop from the Japanese brands you love. In many cases, it is the only option international shoppers have to access Japanese fashion.
The plus size brands listed below are well-known in Japan and each offers its own distinct style and fit. Size ranges can vary widely between brands, so be sure to check each brand’s size chart and review the measurements for individual items before placing your order.
Proxy Shipping Services - Buy Plus Size Japanese Fashion From Any Brand
A proxy shipping service allows you to buy from any Japanese brand or website. There are many reputable services, including our favorite, Buyee. How it works: Proxy shipping services act as a middle step between you and a Japan-only store. You place your order through the proxy, they receive the package at their Japanese address, and then they forward it to your country. It’s an easy way to buy from shops that don’t offer international shipping, and most services also help with things like payment, consolidation, and tracking. You pay an additional fee to use a proxy service, but if you have your heart set on an item that can't be shipped internationally, it may be worth it to you! Proxy shipping also allows you to shop on sites like Mercari, one of Japan's more popular online marketplaces. Mercari is the place to shop online for gently used plus size Japanese fashion. It's essentially thrift shopping - but online!
Plus Size Japanese Fashion Brands With International Shipping
At this time there are only two Japanese fashion sites that offer international shipping directly from the brand. All others listed below, including Dear My Love, recommend using a proxy shipping service.
If you're looking for Japanese subculture fashion, ACDC Rag is the first place to look. Their collections are unlike anything else offered by other plus size brands.
If you're into sweet and girly fashion looks, cosplay, or lolita fashion, BodyLine offers international shipping and an English-language version of their website. Their plus size range is small, with only select items being available in up to size 4L.
The plus size line, DreamMyLove Whip, is the place to shop for Jirai Kei looks and general girly Japanese fashion in larger sizes. DearMyLove has the largest collection in these styles, and the largest range of sizes (up to 6L). While the site does not ship internationally, their website does include a very comprehensive guide on proxy shipping services, including the ones that they recommend. They often run sales and special promotions.
Note: You can find many gently used Dear My Love items on Mercari at a fraction of the cost.
