Hi,
I am trying to find swim gear (a bathing suit) in bule size in Jakarta, but so far all I found were three ugly speedo-suits in Senayan in Indonesian-sizes. Does anyone have a tip on where to find slightly more fashionable bathing suits in big sizes in the city?

Thanks!

Hi Ladki. First are you looking for mens or womens speedo? I will assume womens speedo..............
Second i assume again by your reference to the taboo "B" word means you want a larger size?
Have you tried Debenhams in Senayan? Also splash on 2nd or 3rd floor Pondok Indah Mall 2 have some selection............
Hope this helps and hope assumptions on both counts were correct?:ohwell:
I also had to do a bit of hunting for a training costume I remember so good luck.

Hi -

Yes: female bathing suits. ( I don't like bikini's, but am looking for something slightly more fashionable and less sports-like than the average Speedo swimsuit)

Yes: large size (I am 180 cm). Didn't know bule was a taboo word here, apologies.

I didn't find any swimgear in Debenhams, but will our try Pondok Indah tip. Bit far away from me - but Splash at least sounds as a good word for a place to find swimgear...

Thanks so far and more tips are welcome!

ETA: I found a good shop for bathing suits, tankinis and bikinis in Darmawangsa Square: niconico mare. It's not cheap (350,000- 600,000 average), but they have a large range of styles and sizes.
