M&S is always a safe bet in any country, regardless of whether you're in the UK, Malta or Poland. Can't go wrong with them.intellectualsmuse wrote:I've had the most terrible time trying to shop for clothes here! You really need to be a carpenter's dream to fit into anything.
I've been told I'd have a better time if I shopped at Marks and Spencer. Any other suggestions from expats would be helpful! Thanks.
Good example of this is Levi's!missis wrote:Monsoon at Metro in the Paragon has UK sizes up to 18 I believe. It is annoying though. Another thing is that a lot of brands (in particular sporty ones like Lacoste) cut their clothes to "Asian fit" (sic) - doesn't allow for the slightest curve.
Yeah, I found that out when they had a good promo for polo shirts, I tried on the biggest size they carry and it was still way too tight. After that I didn't even bother trying on any jeans...sundaymorningstaple wrote:Almost all the Levi's in the Levi's shops here are made in China or the Philippines and they are cut for the Asian body build.
I feel your pain m'dear. I'm a US size 10, and most of the ladies' clothes here are meant for a size 0 - size 6 lady. But you can't go wrong with M&S. My family and I are all Caucasian-built, so we have trouble finding clothes. M&S does the job though, ohne Zweifel.intellectualsmuse wrote:I've had the most terrible time trying to shop for clothes here! You really need to be a carpenter's dream to fit into anything.
