LYNMACMD Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi ladies I am what one would call a BBW over here in UK we are looking at Melbourne and I am wondering what is it like for buying larger size clothing over there are there specialist stores? Many thanks for reading this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoanneHattersley Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Sorry hit edit instead of save!!! LOL! I need my coffee! I was going to say that Im not sure about Melbourne but up here in Brissie we have a shop called Autograph which does larger sizes from 16 upwards. Plus KMart and Big W suit up to size 26!!

Petals Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 There are lots of places you can get plus size clothing, especially if you are in proportion. Target, KMart, BigW for cheaper clothes. Autograph and another shop I can't remember the name are a bit more expensive. Myer, and David Jones have plus size clothes better quality. There are other specialist shops and on line shops like Ezibuy. Well catered for think that is because they have now realised that people are not size 10 anymore :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Quite a few outlets these days devoted to the larger lady (of which I am one!) Maggie T was in the vanguard but there are others coming on the scene in addition to Millers & Target who have always done a good range for big girls.

Mongrel Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Its strange the male clothing sizes here I am not the ultimate physique if I am honest but uk sizes I am medium , large if they are young blokes clothes. Over here bought med nooooo large nooooooooooo xl ok large at a push, as most of the clothing as well as evething else is made in China are the sizes modelled on the chinese male size think asmall would fit a 10 year old Mally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treesea Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Places worth checking out in Melbourne are My Size - they have stores in the major shopping centres, but also a very good factory shop in Richmond (just to the south east of the city) at 241 Church Street. their website is www.mysize.com.au Another place I really liked for clothes - more corporate style but very comfortable, was Taking Shape. They are in the CBD, on Collins St, but I liked the one at Balwyn, to the east of the city - 365 Whitehorse Road. www.ts14plus.com.au , if you fancy checking them out online.

Guest guest17301 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Bravissimo deliver to Australia, I get my all bras from them. Theres a mail order bra shop here called curvykate too though I haven't used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get my bras from bravissimo as haven't found much in the lower band size end of the bravissimo range, and what I did find was three times the price. That said I did hear on the grapevine that there's a couple of online shops sprung up, so might be worth a google... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpo1971 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Next time the Mrs is out and I google BBW, I'm probably going to end up on this thread. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKC Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I use Bravissimo too. I have bought bras here, but I don't find them as comfy as the Bravissimo ones for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Not sure if this is an option for you, but I live in Spain at the moment and use www.yoursclothing.co.uk. They also deliver to Oz for $12, this is per parcel. I currently pay £7 to Spain and the most I have ordered at any one time is 10 items, but still paid the £7, so I assume it would be the same for Oz.

Skani Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yes, it tickled my fancy too! They have an easy to navigate website and a shop front in central Sydney (for all you Sydneyites). I thought "storminadcup" was a giggle also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
