Hello Ladies,
I know that in our country, dressing up for a plus-size woman is very hard, plus the fact that it is much 'more' expensive than the usual, finding a perfect shop is as hard as getting a cab during friday-night-pay-day. So to less haggard and trouble, I'l share some places/shops that I do know, like and visit that might help you.
1. SM Department store PLUS SIZE section for women. Whether the brand is Balleno or others, you can easily find clothes here that you can wear in all occasions or even the plain maong pants and shirt porma that everybody wants to wear. I always go here especially those days that I kept on buying 'panglabas shorts' as I call it :)
2. The BIG shop. You can find it in almost all SM branches or malls near you. I dont know if its just me or what but I dont usually like their style coz I feel that it's kinda too old for my age hahaha! tho Im not saying that there outfits are not nice, Its just that they aren't my type prolly.
3. Wish Do Come True. This is a shop in Tutuban Mall Annex, most of their style is Korean and I can always get a blouse that fit perfect to me. Its a lot cheaper than the other stores that I mentioned and the quality of the blouses and pants are good.
4. Tubby. It can be found in most of the malls here in the metro. They're a bit expensive tho and if you wanna know how their style look, just look at Jessica Soho coz most of her look is from Tubby. I dont usually recommend Tubby for all the teenage girls out there, coz the style might be different.
5. Landmark. I would say that Landmark is the 'Sosyal' version of Tutuban hahaha! but they also have lots of plus sizes clothes/brands that you can choose from. Good thing about it is that most of it is affordable :)
6. 168. On the top floor of 168, you will be amazed to see plus-sizes shops. Most of them are selling dresses that look awesome :) but just be careful and make sure that you fit them first coz most of their dresses are too big and doesnt have curves hihihi :) but you can maybe have it altered anyways. Dresses usually cost around 800php and you can even ask for a discount.
7. Herbench. If you are still a teen and you are on the XL, XXL, and XXXL sizes, you can definitely find nice blouses and shirts in Bench. The good thing about their shop is that they are somewhat stretchable and very fashionable.
8. Maldita. When I was still required to wear slacks in the office, I would buy one in Maldita especially if they're having a sale coz I can get a 70% off :) I would suggest to go to their shop when they have a sale coz you can get a better deal.
9. Shopforplus. Shop for plus shop is actually a multiply shop. This is a perfect shop for all the lads out there who doesnt have enough time to go to the mall and waste 5hrs to just look for a perfect dress. I really like this shop :) just visit the website so you would know http://shopforplus.multiply.com
10. Avon/Boardwalk. I think this is the most common and best for busy people. They also have different looks to chose from, just make sure to check the back page coz most of the time, the plus size clothes are on sale :) The problem that I'm seeing with this, is that, you might bumped in to someone that is wearing the same thing that you are wearing hahaha!
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
1. Try it first before buying, Don't be to shy to ask for the fitting room.
2. Check it first before buying or might as well look for a new stock.
3. Dont feel down if the tindera tells you that you are fat or worst uber fat. The tindera is simply uneducated to tell that to her customers.
4. Don't wear a MATERNITY cloth especially if you are not pregnant.
5. BE POSITIVE in trying some new styles :)
You are so right, but at least plus-size fashin is getting bigger na. Thanks for the listing all the good places to buy clothes.

ReplyDeleteThe major problem with much of the clothing is the fabric. As a foreigner I find it almost impossible to find light cotton clothing suitable for the climate. For some reason shops such as Tubby (really is that an insulting name or what?) make their clothes using synthetics rather than lovely cotton, linen and cotton gauze.
ReplyDeletehaha i totally agree with the name thingee!..
DeleteTubby pronounce as to -be (to be sexy)...
DeleteSuper helpful, thanks! :) Nice blog!

ReplyDeleteI like 168, Tutuban Mall and SM Department Stores. Specially SM Clearance Sale Quiapo. Maraming plus sizes clothes there na very affordable price. As in very affordable kasi they always have 50% off. (Even bags,shoes, acessories, etc.) Who needs Tubby anyway. =P
