Has anyone been to the Forever 21 in Korea? If so, where is it located and do they have any American sizing or is Korean-sizing?

Myeong-dong station, line 4, exit #6. Hang a left when you come out of the exit and head down the large pedestrian path for a couple hundred meters, it'l be on your right.
Pretty sure they carry western sizes, as my friend's Canadian GF spent about $500 there last weekend. |

| I found a few cute shirts, but I still couldn't find pants and all of the skirts were minis...and what was really bothersome was how bare everything was. If summers here are hot as Hades, and I'm supposed to cover up a bit for school, then why in the world would I be interested in layering some strappy, strumpety piece of crap over a t-shirt that I'm already going to feel sweaty in? |

The sizes are not exactly "Western sizes".
The sizes are a size down, meaning a M is a S and a L is a M. So, the biggest size they carry is a 10-12 ish. |

Thanks, everyone.  Sounds good. Hopefully they have shirts that aren't too skimpy and okay for work. |

They do, you just have to spend a couple or three hours there because it's so big. |

Is that really across the board, though? I am a standard X-small in dresses and Small in shirts at the F21 back home and I've bought the same sizes here without any problem. |

the sizes are pretty true to the western sizes.
the clothes i've bought fit me just like they would back at home.
sizes are not a problem and most of their clothes are more catered to korea-not skanky or anything. you can check their website to see what they have too~ www.forever21.co.kr
on IE.. korean websites usu don't work on firefox |
