What it is

Plus size modest wear is modest fashion cut for comfort in larger sizes: sleeves that cover the arms, relaxed silhouettes that skim rather than cling, lengths that cover the legs, and fabrics that are opaque and easy to wear in a warm climate. It is not simply a bigger version of a standard outfit. A good plus-size piece leaves room across the bust, arms, waist and hips, and lets you move, sit and pray comfortably. This collection brings together TheBubblyGem's extended-size styles in one place, and new styles are added as they arrive.

Who it's for

Women who find that modest wear in larger sizes is hard to find, whether that means few styles to choose from, sizing that changes from one shop to the next, or ready-made baju raya that needs altering before it can be worn. It is also for mums who need room and ease through the bust and hips, nursing mums, and anyone shopping for a gift for a mum, sister or friend who wants an outfit that fits well straight out of the packet.

Occasion & styling

• Raya and festive days: pair a flowing silhouette with a printed shawl, and browse our Raya collection for everything we have for the season, or our kebaya collection and Baju Kurung range for traditional looks

• Weddings and events: a long, lined, relaxed dress is a safe choice for a Malay wedding, where guests are expected to dress modestly, appropriately and comfortably. See our modest dresses for long, flowing styles

• Everyday and work: relaxed cuts in lightweight fabrics stay comfortable through a warm day, and pieces with a full lining do not need a slip

• Nursing mums: front zips and concealed openings make feeding easier. Browse our nursing-friendly collection for more

Finish an outfit with a piece from our shawls collection, or complete the look with modest tops when you prefer separates.

What to look for

• A relaxed, flowy cut: tiered, A-line and straight silhouettes skim the body, while very fitted styles can pull across the bust and hips

• The widest measurement: choose by the largest of your bust, waist and hip, because that is the measurement you cannot take in. A relaxed outfit can be cinched at the waist, but it cannot be let out

• Sleeves and armholes: check sleeve length and armhole on the size chart, since a top that fits across the body can still be tight at the arm

• Length: look at the dress or skirt length on the size chart against your height, so the hem sits where you want it

• Fabric and lining: look for "fully lined" and lightweight, breathable fabrics such as chiffon, cotton chiffon or satin, which stay opaque and comfortable

• Size chart: every product page lists flat-lay measurements (pit-to-pit, sleeve, armhole, waist, hip and length). Measurements can differ by 2–3 cm, and if you fall between sizes, choose the larger size. Not sure where to start? Find your fit with our sizing guide

• Care: check the care label first, and tap "Notify me" on any sold-out size to be told when it is back
