In partnership with New York City-based FiftyOne, an international e-commerce platform firm, Charming Shoppes is offering shoppers in over 80 countries and territories around the world the opportunity to shop for plus-size apparel, intimate apparel and accessories from the flagship Lane Bryant brand as well as stores including Cacique, Catherines, Fashion Bug and Loop 18. The company is also offering products from over 300 brands at a new plus-size e-shopping hub, Sonsi.com.

"We’re excited to serve plus-size women around the world, from Canada to the United Kingdom to Australia and beyond," said Brian Woolf, group president of Lane Bryant, Lane Bryant Outlet and Cacique. "Women asked us to deliver Lane Bryant internationally, and we listened. Now women around the world can access the same fashionable plus-size brands their American counterparts love."

The sites display merchandise in localized currencies and offer competitive international shipping costs. Orders include duty, value-added tax and custom clearance so that international customers will not have to pay any C.O.D. charges.

Charming Shoppes is based in Bensalem, Pa. and currently operates 1,953 retail stores in the United States.
