It's probably not possible, because their L is our medium. We Asians are very tiny people.
You could look at the clothes and let it inspire you to make your own. ^^

True That! -____-
I get a lot of eye-rolls from people when I say I feel big when I'm around other asian people, but it's true! My mom, who is 47 and had 2 kids, is smaller than me! I'm about 5'4-5'5 and kinda 'thick'. -_____- Gosh, I imagine I would feel even bigger in asia. And yes, I am an Asian-American but I do blame america! XD |

I totally agree, this is one of the reasons why I haven't yet ordered anything from asiajam. I mean I'm not fat or anything (size 6-8 CDN depending on the store), but compared to Asians I'm HUGE, and last time I brought that up on this forum I got snapped at! 0_o
I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who feels this way... ^_^. Sadly they probably won't add bigger sizes, which makes me sad because there are some really cute clothes on here and I would hate to buy a bunch of stuff and not have it fit!

A teacher at my school used to have to go over to Aus when she was living/teaching in Japan as she couldn't get any clothes to fit her there at all.
I myself love Asian clothes though and can not wait till i have money to buy things from asiajam because I know these clothes should actually fit me! I'm 17 and end up wearing mainly kids clothes...Like, age 9-10 tops! UK size 4 trousers are still a little big on my waist when I can actually find a size 4...I have a collection of about 40 belts or something because i need them with most of my trousers/jeans! So...Yeh...

I think asiajam needs sizes from xs to l (for example)..
like a tshirt that has a size xs , s, m , l, xl etc..
more choices for everybody =)
i really need an xs tho' lol.

ehh true true. they wont care.. as long as you're yourself and happy with the way you are.. then you'll be good ^^;
however, those girls probably got their clothes from some A&F store in japan or some american store. lol and also, most people who are overweight there blame it on the KFC and MCDONALDS.  it happens

I think a big problem as to why Americans are 'fat' is due to cars. Everyone has a car - okay nearly everyone. Whereas in Asia, walking is a big part of life.
But not everyone in Asia is skinny! (WTH???) I have many friends who are definitely not skinny and they're 100% Taiwanese, not American at all. <<; I blame that on Taiwan food being too good.

yeah they rather do...
still, i know there are some rounder asian girls, i have seen them, i go to school with them ^.^
granted, they are in the minority, but maybe there should be brand that can market clothes to east asian proprtions (small, petite even when curvy) while still allowing for weight, AND ALSO market attractive, asian style clothes for western girls (taller, often less petite and more bigger boned)
huh? huh?

ahah i'm taiwanese XP born in america though...so yeah. but i must agree taiwanese food is wayyy tooo good. sometimes i can't stop eating. ahaha. xP anyways, it'll probably be hard to get larger sizes for asiajam. although all asians are not always skinny, the majority are. =\ but who knows...things can change  |

I agree that AsiaJam should definitely broaden their range of available sizes.
And I'm tired of people blaming a country for general overweight issues. Yeah, much of the American population is overweight, but living in America can't factor into that problem entirely. Genetics, personal lifestyle decisions, etc. There are other reasons. Obesity doesn't discriminate. You can find overweight people no matter what country you're in. |
