Hi! Iām Bethany.
I started BawdyPlus in 2021 to bring a boutique shopping experience to customers underserved by traditional retailers. For my whole life as a plus size shopper, I felt excluded when I went to the malls and department stores with my straight-size friends. Plus size collections usually have fewer options, worse value and quality, and are tucked away in some back corner of the store.
I aim to give my customers a luxury boutique experience that celebrates body diversity, paired with the sustainability and affordability of thrift, vintage, and consignment shopping.
After starting out with online sales and pop-ups around our area, we opened our brick and mortar store at 77 Broadway in Jim Thorpe, PA in September 2022.

Our Values.
We are a values-based small business. We believe that all bodies are beautiful and want to do our part to make fashion size-inclusive. We also recognize that freedom and respect for all bodies means standing against racism, patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, and all forms of systemic oppression.
Where our stock comes from.
We are deeply concerned about the gentrification of thrift shopping. For lots of folks, the most affordable clothing options have become harder to afford as interest in second hand and vintage fashion has increased. In order to not contribute to this problem, we do not purchase items from thrift shops or retail outlets to resell. Instead, we obtain our stock from wholesale vendors, closeout/liquidation lots, or by buying directly from our customers.
What we sell.
In our shop, you can expect to find a variety of clothing items, primarily in sizes 14 and up.
Our pieces include gently-worn second hand items, new with tags or new without tags pieces, and vintage items. We often have gently-used or vintage handbags in stock.
We also stock a mix of gifts and other items our customers are interested, many from independent artists. Our stock is always changing, but you might find stickers, pins, jewelry, drinkware, wall art, and LGBTQ+/Pride gear.
