Shop Just My Size

Just My Size is one of several brands owned by Hanesbrands, Inc., and it specifically manufactures plus-sized intimates and other apparel. Brothers John Wesley and P.H. Hanes founded two separate businesses in the early 1900s--both focusing on clothing manufacture. John Wesley Hanes established Shamrock Knitting Mills in 1901 (later renamed Hanes Hosiery), and his brother created the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company that same year. After operating separately for several decades, the two businesses finally merged in 1965. During the 1970s, Hanes' plain t-shirts gained popularity among screenprinters, and the brand started to garner a national reputation because it was used for so many graphic tees.

Hanes continued to grow throughout the rest of the 20th century, and its parent, the Sara Lee Corporation, decided to spin off Hanesbrands, Inc., as its own company in 2006. In addition to Just My Size, Hanesbrands manufactures several other sub-brands, including Champion, Bali, Leggs, Playtex, and more. The business has specifically catered to plus-sized women for many years, and Just My Size is considered one of Hanesbrands' primary brands in the categories of innerwear and activewear. Today, the company is headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and it sells its apparel in more than 40 countries across the globe.

Products

Like many of the most important Hanesbrands divisions, Just My Size focuses primarily on intimates, and its specific niche is women who wear clothes in size 14 or larger. The brand specializes in wire-free bras with several different types of closure mechanisms. These bras are available in multiple colors and include seamed and seamless varieties. Just My Size also offers panties in styles like briefs, bikinis, boy-shorts, and more. Hanesbrands subsidiaries are especially known for their cotton panties--most of which have been tagless for many years.

Beyond intimates, Just My Size features plus-sized apparel in a number of categories. Tops include tees, tanks, v-necks, sweaters, cardigans, tunics, polos, and blouses. You'll also find light jackets for mildly chilly days. In bottoms, the brand offers trousers, twill pants, and palazzo pants, as well as jeans in various cuts. Dresses are available in styles like fit-and-flare, sheaths, knit dresses, polo dresses, maxi dresses, and more. Crops, capris, skirts, and shorts are perfect for keeping cool in warmer weather, and you can choose from an array of styles. In activewear, Just My Size offers options like yoga pants, active capris, and workout shirts, while swimwear is available in styles like bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and cover-ups.
