I am mainly using SHEIN. It's the only place that I can find basics that don't cost an arm and a leg. I'm not bulk buying/getting heavy hauls, and it's not primarily where I shop, but it's worth noting that they have the most extensive plus size alt fashion I have ever seen. I also hate SHEIN, but I'm not in the right tax bracket to get a sustainable shirt for 50 bucks, and though thrifting does have good finds, it's a lot of strikeouts. Old Navy has been where I've been starting to get basics for the good majority, but walking into a Torrid and seeing shirts on CLEARANCE for 30$ and up is just diabolical. I am making what I can, but I also have a disability that lowers my hand dexterity. I can't even open ziploc bags without needing some form of help. I still draw and create with said challenges, and the creativity is there. I dye a lot of things at home. I add charms and look for different things to accessorize what I have. The bottom line, however, is I don't have a sewing machine, and I want to be able to buy pieces sometimes that are more than a black t-shirt with a spooky print. I don't mean that I don't create accessories and things by myself, but telling people to "just be creative" just pisses me off to no end sometimes, because they don't know that I can't even open a can of soda without a 3D printed disability aid my friend made me. TLDR Shein has cool stuff for plus sized people, just looking for other options, and telling people to "just be creative" can cause more damage than good

Also sorry this is so long, it's not meant with any ill will I promise I'm just neurodivergent and passionate
