FOB fashions for bigger women?

[Beautyisinmyeyes]

Hi! Long-time lurker.

I love yesstyle.com, zipia.net, etc., but the clothes appear to run very small. I am a size 12, and am 5'7, and I can't fit into any of the items I love. Does anyone have a recommendation for Korean/Japanese clothing sites that have various sizes???

Thanks! ^_^

Im closing this down. we allready have a thread about this.
please read:

bottum line is that asians arn't heavy. that's why there are loads of XS/S and on occasions a M clothing out there.

Laura, I don't think it's appropriate to say Asians aren't heavy. Obviously, every Asian have different body make-ups.. some are bigger than others.

I'm addressing this because we received a personal message from Beautyisinmyeyes. Firstly, opinions of contributers and moderators in AsiaJam do not necessarily reflect the views of AsiaJam. We agree with the author that Asians come in various sizes. We should not over generalize and push aside curvier girls who want to wear Asian-styled fashion.

However, the harsh reality is this:

The reason why most Asians teenager/young adult manufacturers make ONE-SIZE clothing (that usually fit a petite frame) is because the majority of Asian teenagers/young adults are petite. This is not to say ALL of them are petite.. I know people in Malaysia who complain they are forced to shop at bigger brand stores (Forever 21 etc) because they manufacture clothing with different sizes.

As stated in AsiaJam's FAQ, we do not carry larger sizes not because we don't want to. We don't carry them because our manufacturers don't make them. When AsiaJam grows into a larger company and manufacture our own products, we would definitely consider making them in sizes.

I hope this clears things up and to Beautyisinmyeyes, on behalf of all AsiaJam moderators, I apologize if we have offended you.

To everyone else, any suggestion on how curvier girls can get their hands on larger sized Asian style apparel is welcome!

Beautyisinmyeyes, many AsiaJam items are not body-hugging. You could try wearing baggier styled clothing like these:

I'm happy to announce that in the next few days, AsiaJam will be selling more loose-style clothing perfect for the chilly weather

I'm so sorry for not telling you the reason why I closed the thread and said this mean thing. Like Bellytuner said, in asia they make items fit 'free size'. I do believe that items will be bigger over a small amount of time.

Im so so sorry for hurting you and any other girl who also read this. It was never my intention to hurt you in any way. Please don't let my mistake be in the way for having fun here on asiajam.

However, after digging up some old emails, i have found some shops that I think you will looooooove. Nice dresses and all, for the 'plussize'. I think they are not plussize at all, but they are bigger then the normal 'free size' clothing.

here are some site i have for you:

http://global.gmarket.co.kr/challeng...c_cd=100000063 it's a korean site, shipping is sometimes expencive. but they have sizes that are just a little bigger then the 'free size'. it's called plussize but they hardly are if you compair the sizes with western sizes.

Beautyisinmyeyes, I'm really sorry and I do hope that you will read this. Also, I think you might have found this allready.. but if you are not sure about your size, i found this size chart on yesstyle:

I can't say that Im sorry to much, but please, I hope you can enjoy asiajam again. Sorry for everything I might have put you and others trough.
