Want to know a trade secret? You can buy wholesale women's plus size clothing, even if you are not a retailer. You don't have to be a licensed retail business to get incredible wholesale deals! Today, it's possible to buy fashionable clothing at wholesale pricing, no matter where you're located or whether you are a reseller or private individual.
Where to Buy Wholesale Women's Plus Sizes
While many clothing wholesalers will only do business with companies that provide them with a valid business license, resale certificate, or tax identification number, there are also many other wholesale companies that are open to the public. Here are some great options to buy at wholesale, whether you are a retailer or an individual.
Options for Businesses
If you are a legitimate retailer with a resale license, you can work with wholesalers that cater exclusively to retail buyers or store owners. You can expect order minimums from most of these wholesalers, but many also offer bulk purchase discounts and special incentives for greater savings.

Wholesalers That Sell to Individuals
You may be familiar with wholesale clubs such as Costco, BJs, and Sam's Club. These member-only stores buy merchandise in huge quantities and sell it priced only slightly above their cost. Wholesale clubs carry a vast assortment of items, including clothing. Their choices in plus size clothing are limited, but the good news is that you have plenty of other options for online plus size fashion shopping at wholesale prices.
One thing to consider: even as an individual buyer, in some cases you will be required to purchase a minimum number of pieces - if you're looking to outfit your bridesmaids or a girlfriends' club, that's great, but make sure you read the fine print on each site to avoid being disappointed that the one top you fell in love with requires you to buy three.
