These will consist of magazines oriented towards expats (check Borders and Takashimaya) and the publications of various associations. I am most familiar with the American Association and the American Club (both would be happy for you to advertise in their journals) and I know there are similar organizations for British, Canadians, and no doubt many others.

Look at The Expat, Expat Living, The Finder, etc.
I'll PM you with some more ideas.
I never read the expat rags available at bookstores... full of expensive lifestyle gew gaws... not my style. I browse thru the others. Then again, I'm probably not your typical expat.gracelynn wrote:Thanks for the information, will check it out. Just wondering if you know which are the most popular magazines?
That will help to narrow down the range to adverts.

If web sales is something she wants to do, she would be better off starting on ebay where shoppers would go to do a specific search. She could set up a website to have more 'store' credibility and to offer customers more information.
However, I think women's clothes are a tough sell on the net, and at the risk of being whacked, I think BBW clothing especially so. As a guy with a non-Atlas physique I won't shop online because I cannot check fit... amazing what a slight difference in cut can make in the way a pair of pants hang... and I'll bet it is the same for BBW's.
I think the OP is on the right track. She has a niche target market, will probably offer special services, and is looking for a way to best reach that target market other than a scattershot approach.
