Thread: small sized clothes for tall people?

  1. #1

    Default small sized clothes for tall people?

    Hi, I am new to Jakarta. Could anyone direct me to right shops where they sell clothes UK size 6? So far, everything starts at 8 and shop assistants don't understand what "XS" means.
    Thanks

    I think Marks and Spencers has size 6 and you can find them in most malls.
    Other option is Debenhams department store in Senayan City or Lippo Mall near Kemang. They sell lots of UK brands.
    Hope that helps
    I might not always kind, but at least I have the decency to be vague

    try "lebih kecil". "ini terlalu besar" with the shop assistants. That should work /no1

    :O in high end shops like Zara or Mango, you can easily find XS.

    Or if you want to go cheaper, go to ITC, they cater petite ladies more than the large ones like me.

    Unfortunately, for my purse, they are on the High-end side. (doh!)

    Zara yes, the sizing is good but I was shocked to find the same autumn\winter collection here in Jakarta as they have now in Europe. I was never able to buy anything at Mango as they sell clothes for short and medium people...
    M&S size 6 is extremely difficult to find.
    I was just wondering may be there are any good Asian brands?
