Womens Plus Size Clothing

[duper97]

Hello, can anyone advise me if women's plus size clothing is available in Dubai? Specifically an equivalent for US size 20-22? Thank you!

What about the same for guys ? Any leads ?

Cheers

Try Evans! They specialise in plus size clothes! I believe that I have seen one of their shops in Mall of the Emirates. You can also have your clothes made to measure - there are really good tailors in Dubai. You might have to go to Deira though.

I've just arrived and haven't really seen any plus size clothes shops for men but you can still have your clothes made to measure. I'm sure that there are a few shops around. I know that there were a few shops in Karama but I'm talking about years ago so I'm not really sure if they still exist!

Cheers MAZ 25,
that's what I thought. I know about the made2measure option and seen some tailors around. However, I am also interested in the odd jeans/t-shirts etc. and maybe some sporting stuff....I don't think they would do such things as Jeans made2measure, right ?

Jeans? Don't think so! Try some of the bigger malls. You just might get lucky!

I will...once I am there finally. Movers are in my appartment back home to box belongings up....feels very strange somehow :-)

cheers and have a great weekend.

Thanks Maz -- is tailoring available for women as well, or were you referring to men's tailoring?

Tailoring is also available for women. I believe the best tailors are supposed to be located in Satwa. I think that Elphaba gave a few tips about tailors in a previous post. It was a couple of weeks back but if you search the forum, you should be able to find it.

For ready made women's clothing, why not try Scarlet - they start at UK size 16. I haven't been to any of their stores other than in Al Ain, but I am sure they must be in AD and Dubai too. They are part of a larger group, who's name escapes me at the moment! (will get reacquainted with them in only 32 days when I am out again on holiday to see my hubby and will post the info on my return)
