Delhi is not
just India’s capital; it’s a sprawling, vibrant mosaic of culture, fashion,
food, and lifestyles. From narrow bylanes of Old Delhi to wide avenues lined
with luxury boutiques in New Delhi, it is a city of contrasts—and it is now
also a city where plus size fashion is finally finding its rightful place.
For years,
people with fuller figures often felt left out when shopping—garments didn’t
fit well, cuts weren’t flattering, styles were limited, and sometimes even the
sizes didn’t go beyond a point. But times have changed. Today, Delhi offers
many local shops, boutiques, and online stores that recognise every body size,
offering stylish, comfy, and fashion-forward choices so you can look smart,
confident, and well-dressed.
In this blog,
you will learn:
- The geography of Delhi with its
five segments (East, West, North, South, Central) and the posh areas in
each.
- Why plus size clothing was
difficult before, and what has changed.
- What you will get by
reading/following this blog.
- The best local shops in
Delhi to buy plus size clothes.
- Some online sample brands &
stores.
Delhi:
Divided into Five Segments (with 10 posh areas each)
Delhi is huge.
To help you navigate plus size clothing stores, let’s divide Delhi into five
segments. For each area, I’ll list ten of the more posh or upscale/locality

Why Plus
Size Fashion Was Hard in the Old Days — And How Things Have Changed
- Limited size range: Many ready-made stores used
to carry only up to a standard size (e.g. XL or 2XL) but beyond that, the
quality/cut/style suffered.
- Poor fits and unflattering cuts: Garments were often just
scaled up versions of smaller ones, without consideration for proportions
(shoulders, bust, waist, hips).
- Lack of style choices: Trendy cuts, designer
labels, occasion wear, ethnic wear in larger sizes were difficult to find.
- Social stigma / lack of inclusive
representation: Many
stores didn’t display plus size fashion or didn’t market to plus size.
Many felt “shopping for large size” was embarrassing or low quality.
What has
changed:
- Body positivity and inclusive
fashion movements have pushed brands and stores to design with inclusive
sizing in mind.
- More online stores and niche
brands have emerged focusing exclusively on plus size.
- Retailers, boutiques, malls
understand the commercial potential—so many mainstream stores have “big
size” ranges.
- Local tailors and garment hubs
adapt custom sizing, especially in ethnic wear.

What to
Look for When Shopping Plus Size: Style Tips & Fit
To look smart
and confident, these are some tips when shopping:
- Fabric matters: fabrics that have some stretch
or drape nicely help. Avoid overly stiff materials that don’t accommodate
curves.
- Cut & silhouette: A-line, wrap, empire waist, high
waist bottoms, V-necks, vertical details help elongate the body. Styles
that define the waist or flow over body lines elegantly. Avoid too tight
or overly boxy cuts that may not flatter.
- Size vs fit: It’s better to fit comfortably
around the largest part (bust, hip, waist), and if possible get items
tailored. Many ethnic wear shops / tailors in Delhi can alter to fit.
- Patterns & prints: Smaller prints, vertical
stripes, colour blocking can help. Darker hues often appear slimming;
lighter / bright colours can be used strategically.
- Confidence & accessories: Shoes, jewellery, layering
(jackets, scarves), good tailoring make huge difference.
