Looking for plus-sized clothing in Hong Kong? If you have a beautiful curvy figure, here are some of the best places to find clothes that will fit you perfectly.
The fashion industry is becoming increasingly inclusive with the “Curvy” business booming. This sector includes plus-size clothing, bump-friendly fashion and curvy mama-friendly looks. Whilst every woman has felt that it can be hard to dress a certain part of her body at times, in Hong Kong this can be even harder. Finding sizes in stores that would otherwise be readily available across Europe, USA and other Western countries is tricky.
Lots of women in the expat community struggle with where to shop, especially if you have a tall figure or more than a handful of cup sizes up top. However, do not despair, there is more out there than you think, and you are not limited to just shopping from overseas online stores! Here’s where Mamas can shop for plus-sized clothes in Hong Kong.

Where To Shop Plus-Size Women’s Clothes In Hong Kong
No two women are the same size, and the same thing goes for women’s wear. Every store and sizing can be different, but many are now offering a customising service so that every woman has the perfect fit! Here are some stores we suggest you try for a refreshing look in your wardrobe.

Places To Find Undergarments, Underwear And Lingerie For Fuller Figures
The right outfit starts with the right underwear, it is the base that makes everything else look great! Did you know that your bra only lasts 6 to 12 months? Some brands and bras may last longer than others, but after six months or so of repeated wash and wear, bras start to lose their elasticity and change shape. If you have not had a professional bra fitting in the last year, then it’s time to get some expert advice.
The right bra is especially important when you have a more than an average cup size, a beautiful fuller figure, or if your body is going through significant change due to pregnancy (understand breast changes during and after pregnancy, and where to get a nursing bras here), postpartum, general menstrual cycle, weight loss and/or gain, and menopause. These can happen to everyone at different times, so remember your body doesn’t stop changing just because you’ve hit puberty. It’s important to find the right fit for you at the right time!
