Malaysian clothes shopping and bikinis

Have you ever wondered why Asian clothes are so ugly? Not all Asian brand of clothing are ugly but mostly they are. Most Asian brands target only skinny people, not even typical Asian size. Those girl who are like US size 6 (top) will fit large size or can't find clothes in Asian clothing shops. I once went to this shop, it's an Asian brand, they only target small people. I didn't really see the tops but most Asian brands have tops with larger size that can fit until US size 6 but what they do not have is bigger size bottoms. My bottom is US size 6 and my top is US size 4. I wear size L jeans in that shop. Why are the sizes so damn small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's 1 shop that sells alot of dancing attire. Their sizes are also damn small. Their size S pants is like US size 0. I even have to wear size L. Asians are getting bigger nowdays. My mum once told me some made in China clothes are 1 size smaller because they do that to save material. Very money minded indeed.

There are many big size Asians around nowdays. They can't really find clothes because Asian brands are so damn small!!! They have to opt for European brands which are costly. People who fit Asian size XL will have difficulty finding clothes in Malaysia. But at least now Malaysia has alot of imported brands which can fit larger people.

Another thing about Asian brands are the bottom like jeans or long pants doesn't fit girls with big hips or butt like me!!! It's so hard to find jeans that fit me. I bought 1 jeans from Promod and it fits perfectly but that brand is expensive and their jeans are so limited. They practically have only 1 jeans for 1 design. So, there's only 1 size for that particular jeans. I was lucky to find 1 that fits. Most females in my family are born with big butt. It's easy to find jeans or long pants that has our sizes but the biggest problem is that the cutting only fits people with small butt. I look like I have 2 giant bumps at the side of my hips. So only European brands fit us well.

Another thing Malaysia lack is nice and affordable swimwear. Bikinis here cost like RM200. The top is RM100+ and the bottom is RM100+. OMGGGG!!! I was lucky to find my 1 piece Speedo for only RM69 or RM79. That was because it was on sale because Royal Sporting House or Studio R was going to stop selling Speedo brand and bring in TYR.

Recently, I had an idea of asking Victoria Secret to open shops in Malaysia. Haha. Sounds hilarious. I mean Malaysians spend so much on lingerie. Take a look at Triumph, Wacoal, La Senza, their bras cost like at least RM60 and people still buy them. Some bras cost RM100+ and people still buy. If Victoria Secret opens in Malaysia, I really think they can succeed because ladies here spend alot on lingerie.

If Victoria Secret opens in Malaysia, they should also sell alot and alot of bikinis and other swimwears. If they do, Malaysians will not be deprived of beautiful swimwears. After conversion, VS bikini cost less than RM100 for top and less than RM100 for bottom. But I doubt they will sell that cheap here because demand might be high here and they have to pay for shipping and franchise fee and some overhead expenses.

In conclusion, Asian brands really should improve their clothing designs even though many people buy their clothes just because they are a little cheaper than European or American brands. Next, Asians should also start to come up with their own line of swimwears and sports attire (I don't think many Asian brands have sports attire). Brands from outside Asia should bring in their swimwears to Malaysia because Malaysia has summer all year round. Let bikinis be acceptable in Malaysia!!!!!
