I am sure you stumbled on this post because you’re looking for African print designs and attires for plus size women. I know your pain, that’s why I’ve decided to put this post together and share with you a few places to purchase plus size African print attires. Africa is a huge continent (Nope it’s not a country) with a lot of different cultures. If there is one thing that most African countries share it’s their love for prints. Yes. we love our prints.

One of the many perks of living in Africa is that you can customize everything you wear. In Mali, we have tailors in almost every street corner. It’s a matter of seeing something you like, buy your fabric of choice and hit the tailor. I miss that. Everything I am wearing today was made for me while I was on vacation a couple of years ago.

During my years of blogging, I have noticed that African prints or some might call it Ankara has become very popular in the US and around the world. The fabrics are now made in Asia and have been worn by countless of celebrities.  With that popularity, it’s only normal that designers want to cash in. One name that comes to mind is  Haitian designer Stella Jean and even recently Dior.

With a big name comes prices. If you are an average joe like myself and looking for something affordable, below is a shortlist of designers that make plus size African print designs.

Whether you are plus size or not Etsy is the go-to store for beautifully crafted African print dresses, skirts, and blazers. All the dresses are handmade which gives you a little bit of room to customize the items you want. The sellers are available from all corners of the world.

 At the end of this post, you’ll find some of my favorite plus size African print sets, skirts, and dresses. Just click on each photo to shop.
