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.

If none of these stores have exactly what you are looking for, then perhaps getting in touch with a local tailor or going on a shopping tour with a stylist is a great alternative.

Beam Bold – Colourful designs in plus sizes that can also be custom-made

Beam Bold, and its Hong Kong designer Audra, have a strong sustainable approach to fashion, which is focused on size inclusion. Audra makes her beautiful designs up to a 3XL and will also custom-make to any shape and size. If you are someone whose shape tends to fluctuate, Audra even goes into the detail of adding a good seam allowance to her resort collection, so there is plenty of flexibility for alterations. It’s so nice to know that your dress will always fit perfectly! Many of her dresses also make for a chic and fuss-free maternity outfit for the summer.

Sassy Mama Tip: We love the adorable matching sets for mother and daughter!

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!

Sheer Lingerie – Chic A to F cup bras and plus size swimwear

Sheer Lingerie has your perfect fitting basics or something a little sexier. These ladies are expert Bra fitters, stocking everything from an A cup to an F cup. Don’t be shy when going in, they display a limited range (think exquisite French lace alongside everyday essentials), but ask their friendly and knowledgeable staff as their full selection is kept in secret drawers (how very chic!). They also stock maternity bras, support underwear, swimwear (during the Summer season), sleepwear and a full range of accessories – such as nipple covers, stick on bras and lift tape. You are sure to find the right bra for every body and the right accessories for any outfit.

Some General Tips To Know Before Going To The Tailor

• Have one yard more fabric than you think you need if you’re supplying your own
• Avoid wearing heavy/baggy clothes to fittings
• Be realistic with your expectations (know the difference between what something looks like on a model’s body versus your own proportions)
• Make sure to wear the underwear you would wear with that particular piece to ensure that it fits and looks right
• Wear the shoes you would wear with that garment so that your length measurements are accurate
• Be honest during fittings (don’t worry about hurting anyone’s feelings!), it is much harder to change later on once garments have been stitched together and completed
• Give yourself time for two or three fittings
• Know what you want and stand by it, but be open to expert advice
