La Grande Dame Boutique ReviewPhoto (c) La Grande Dame
Are you sick of looking at the same old labels when you are plus-size shopping? La Grande Dame offers Melissa Masse, Zen Knits, Olivia Harper, Anna Sholz, David Meister, and Tadashi, among others, and will give you more options to invigorate that wardrobe.

Selection

La Grande Dame offers a hand-picked selection of items that are almost like they have been chosen by a personal shopper. Instead of simply buying from some plus-size stores, the shop owners actually approach certain labels and request plus-size designs to be produced.

Sizing

Even though I was hoping to see sizing start at 12, which is a nice jumping off point for plus sizes, they actually start at at 14W. You can find pieces up to size 24, and some of the pieces are pretty generous, meaning that someone who is a size 26/28W may also be able to choose some options.

Special fit notes accompany many of the listings on the website, guiding your selections, and you will also be able to connect via live chat to ask any more questions you have about sizing.

Price Points

La Grande Dame offers higher price points than many plus shops, but what they offer is extremely high quality, and as mentioned before, is also made to measure from brands that don't necessarily specialize in plus size.

Customer Service

La Grande Dame offers live chat for sizing or shipping questions. If you call their office, you will find that they are even willing to measure items personally for you and try pieces on in the California office and "report back" on fitting suggestions.

This vendor gives unparalleled personal attention. Their shipments arrive with obvious signs of TLC (tender loving care). The business owners are very caring and helpful. I would do business with them again.
