The range will be “significantly ramped up” in the coming weeks and a children’s collection added on November 11.
The website launched a month ago to sell homewares following the collapse of the retail giant in April after 88 years of high-street history.
The new clothing range will include a £30 Sixties-style check shift dress and a £25 long jersey maxi skirt.
BHS buying director Sara Bradley said: “The collection is very tight but we will be adding collections regularly to expand the offer including children’s character products and women’s day to evening party wear in autumn/winter.”
BHS International, formed by the Al Mana Group, is behind the online relaunch, which also sells a range of lighting, bedroom and bathroom products and Christmas gifts.
It has 84 employees and solely uses UK suppliers. Selected best-selling items that the old BHS sold have also been continued through to the new business, including the “mix and match” tailoring range in womenswear with £32 jackets and £15 trousers and skirts.
BHS, a staple of British shopping, went into administration in April and the company was wound down when a buyer could not be found. The last of its 164 stores shut its doors at the end of August after huge closing down sales.
Its collapse affected 11,000 jobs, 22,000 pensions, and sparked a lengthy parliamentary inquiry.
Retail billionaire Sir Philip Green, who owned BHS for 15 years before selling it to serial bankrupt Dominic Chappell for £1 in 2015, has borne the brunt of the public fallout, with MPs unanimously recommending he is stripped of his knighthood.
He has come under fire for taking more than £400 million in dividends from the chain, leaving it with a £571 million pension deficit and for selling it to a man with no retail experience.
He made a televised apology in which he said he was “very, very, very sorry” about the demise of the store.
BHS International has stressed the online retailer has no links with Sir Philip or Mr Chappell.
