AKA help clothe CLG.

Now that I'm almost at my goal weight (yah me!) I've wandered into the no-woman's land of being a size 10-12 amiercan. My clothes are too big, Korean stuff is too small, and I'm too small for the 'big size' western stores. I've hit vickies and a few kiwi places (but they are starting to stock winter stuff now). Anyone got any great online shopping malls they wish to share.

The only thing I can say is eBay. I have been an eBay maniac lately! Look for people who are willing to shop worldwide and buy multiple items from them for combined shipping. (Most people are pretty good about stuffing those Express Mail flat-rate envelopes with clothes.)

Eddie bauer and L.L. Bean. Eddie bauer only has express shipping, though. L.L.Bean has shipping choices other than express.

not really sure what type of style you're after...

a lot places don't deliver internationally, but you could have friends reship something from another country (if you're that desperate)

i shop urbanoutfitters.com and victorias secret

my sister (may be closer to your size) shops llbean, j.crew, banana republic, anthropology (urban outfitters for more sophisticated working folk), but you'd have to check the international shipping

also, amazon sells clothes, but these are also straight from the distributors (shipping will still be the same regionally i bet)

dont know if any of this helped

If you want to look in Korea, try Giordano (at department stores) or the Hennin Brand at New Core Outlet. They both have casual basics (at good prices) in sizes up to about an American 10-12. I don't quite have all the sizing down, but a 10-12 translates to a 77 or 88 in Korean sizes. It seems that a lot of Korean girls who wear big sizes wear men's clothing.

If something is "free size" it means 55-66.
