Q: Chinese brands that can accommodate Western sized "assets"?

I'd prefer to shop in Chinese stores and buy Chinese brands if I can just because its cheaper. I love the shirts and dresses and they fit. But I've yet to find any stores that can accommodate my back side.

Any Chinese stores you know of where I could finally replace my worn out pants from home?

Ideas for where to buy bras that fit would be good too Sad

Good luck with that. Your only chance is to go to a big city. All places in China are referred to as cities (for some strange reason) but I'm talking Beijing and Shanghai among a few others. Also be prepared to spend at least 5x more than other clothes you buy. I went to Xi'an to buy pants they cost me more than 400rmb a pair because I didn't want to buy the typical Chinese style that fit below your armpits.

I usually find things on Taobao.com .. I am a size 14 and you can get some brands on there that will fit... if you look for the measurements.

Not sure of this answer,, try mens pants, preferable the next morning, then you can judge what size might work

And that's why I bought new pants before coming to China. I doubt I will find any that fit, or if they do, they will be waist-high and look horrible on me. I'm a bit afraid to even attempt anything other than shirt shopping here. Good luck, I hope you find something good.

i'm having the same problem here, best advice save up the money, calculate the cost to have a friend ship you some good pair of jeans versus paying the obnoxious cost of good real wranglers here. if you are close to hk you could try to arrange a day trip to do some shopping (i havent tried that so i cant comment on it) i came to china with 4 pairs of jeans the climate ate away at 3 of them now my last pair of jeans is hanging on by a thread. so i will take a trip to shanghai and i hope i could easily find something there

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
