Plus sized version of this top/jacket

April 9, 2018 8:39 AM

I love the Belleville top from The Fold, but am a plus sized lady. Where could I find something similar in an XL or 16/18?

The key seems to be the fabric - lots of wrap tops exist in lighter cotton or knit but this is a stretch wool with a little bit of weight to it. Bonus points for a plus size line with the same aesthetic. Thank you!

This top from eShakti is very similar. It's a cotton knit but their knits are pretty substantial. (Not ponte thickness but thicker than your standard t-shirt.) http://www.eshakti.com/shop/Tops/Obi-belt-cotton-knit-wrap-tunic-CL0056645

I doubt this shirt is as substantial as what you are looking for, but I've had good luck with MM LaFleur's plus size line in general-It seems to have a similar aesthetic to the clothes you are looking at.

Ureshii has a wrap top that can be made in a decently heavy jersey (the French terry options). The top as shown has a simpler tie than the one you linked to, but, as they make their clothing to your measurements and I have found them to be quite accommodating to requests, you can ask about replicating that tie.

Universal Standard tends to have really substantial fabrics although that particular wrap top is poplin (although I really like it). Their aesthetic seems similar to me too.
