I get annoyed when people insist that I can find clothes and shoes in Japan. Especially people who have never been to Japan, or have never tried to find clothes in L or XL sizes in Japan. :\ And shoes for that matter. I have wide feet. That is a FACT. I never ASKED for wide feet, so I totally don't get it when people insist that I have small feet. Um, they are my feet, I think I'm not that much of a retard to know how big my own feet are?

I mean seriously. I might exaggerate my size at times, but I don't wear a pair of distortion glasses! It is a fact that I am larger than the average Singaporean, and Japanese, because I enjoy food and detest exercising (unless it's like, swimming, or soccer... but hey, whatever).

So here's my gripe. I cannot stand people who insist that I can definitely find clothes easily there. :\ Hello, I've been to Japan five freakin' times, please don't try to convince me that it's easy to find plus-sized clothing there. I have tried many times and have left shops EMBARRASSED because they do not have anything larger than an M, or sometimes lo and behold an L but still I am too wide and protruding to wear something. Tops are still a hit-and-miss affair. I can fit into an L from the women's department, and sometimes an M in the men's department, but even that's a longshot. Don't get me started on the jeans/pants. I cannot. Cannot find anything in shop fronts that fit me. I remember going to Edwin jeans and being VERY EMBARRASSED. But yes. Whatever.

But fat girls in Japan have to have get their clothes from somewhere, don't you think? No offense to morisanchu or our lovely beyonce impersonator, but I need to know where they get their clothes from. I've only found Nissen's Smile Land which doesn't sell frumpy plus-sized stuff, so that's good. It's an online store though so I can't actually try anything on...

I might be able to help, but I need your size in cm. What kind of clothes are you looking for as well? Jeans? Tops? Funky subculture stuff? Girly suff?

I kinda know where to get a lot of clothes, and if they fit a 5'6 average American I'm sure they can fit you :x you're not like....morbidly obese large, so it's still find-able.

haha nissen's smile land sounds like a really funny name for a store! populated with happy people. hmm i guess online shopping is good then? cause ang mohs are bigger and they have nicer clothes really, unlike the stuff in sg which is just tight and tiny and generally quite ah lian-ish.

this is random, but yes I agree with you especially on the clothes part! Like Uniqlo's bottoms for ladies only have sizes up to like 30 inches?! I guess tops are easier to find though, and also the type of clothes you are looking for.. coz I found some dress which fits me in Japan, but I doubt you will ever wear a dress??I havent seen you in a skirt before!

But.... I think we might have more motivation to lose weight in Japan?! haha since the food there is healthier? And at least for me, I can cycle to school every day,so some exercise for me :)

YES!! Haaha, and the guys jeans from Uniqlo don't fit very well even though they have larger sizes :(. I managed to find tops -- lots of tops yay -- last time, but they were from the men's department LOL.

;) I shall wear a dress when I see you next time! I bought two dresses and skirts muahahaha.... My skirt keeps falling apart though :( It's a patchwork kind and the seams keep coming out wtf.

Yup! I am definitely going to try - harder haha, because my trying in Singapore has failed very badly - to lose weight in Japan! Yeah! I think I'll be walking a lot more too :D 一緒に頑張ります!
