Just letting the plus-sized ladies know that there is a new-ish shop in Itaewon that sells sizes 14(US) and up. An ok selection for stores in general...a fantastic selection for Korea. The tags are cut out, but look like Old Navy, Gap, Lane Bryant & Talbots. She has D-cup bras and can order other under things. I think she makes clothes, too.

Pass Subway sandwich on your left. It's like 4 doors after Subway. Red sign, name is Big Boss...nice, huh? It's next to a store called POINT.




And no comments from the peanut gallery about "plus" sizes, please and thank you.

now we need to fill the 10 to 12 size gap!

Wow, thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, I've been in there a few times. She's really nice. She has great sweaters. No cotton underwear, but this is Korea. I bought a jacket yesterday that she made. It's awesome. She'll also alter stuff for you.

(and yeah, what about the 10-12 sizes?)

I knew about the store in Itaewon, but I didn't know about the other stores in Seoul. Thank you for the information. It really helps to have another outlet to turn to.

You can also go to Marks & Spencers. They have a few branches in Seoul including their flagship store just down from Apgujeong Station. They have all the large Western sizes with quality outfits and underwear. But, the prices are quite hefty.

So buy the 14 and have it tailored to your 10-12 size. There's always the option to make things smaller, it's when you need them bigger that there's a problem.

Edit: are these U.S. sizes?

I love how size 10 is considered plus size.

[thu_tinh]

i just want to know where the stores are located.
