A: Our buying team works very hard to bring you the most unique, music-influenced product. Many of the items are hard to find and even harder to make. Small companies and entrepreneurs make most of these items and have to charge us more because their product is not mass-produced. Quality of fabric, craftsmanship, and detail are just some of the factors taken into consideration when determining the price of an item.

A: No problem! Click over to Girl's Plus Sizes and check out true plus size tops and bottoms, sizes 2X - 4X and 12 - 26, from Tripp, Junk Food, Lip Service, Blest and more!
With the exception of 2X screened tees, these plus sizes are exclusive to Hottopic.com. You won't find them in Hot Topic stores.
To identify a true plus size item, look for "Plus Size" in the product title. If the title reads "2X," it is simply one size up from an XL.
To make shopping as easy as possible, we've included our Plus Size Chart below. Use it to find just the right size for you!
