Big Boobs vs. Korea

Now lemme tell you a story....

I was shopping on a Korean website when: ooo look at that cute jacket!! I want it, but I'm not sure it'll fit me, oh the chest measurement is 80cm!! that sounds big! lemme check my size! *gets measuring tape* ...........-_-


Damn you Cute Korean Fashion!!!


I have come to the conclusion that God had intended for me to grow up to be a stripper -_-, I have been trying to fight that fact since these breasticles started forming on my chest but boy does he make it difficult for me!

My mantra for shopping for clothes in Korea is this: if you are big in your own country lord knows you will be massive in Korea.
This applies to any body part, big head?? You'll have a tough time finding hats. Big feet?? Forget about those pretty shoes you just saw they are not in your size. Long legs? Wide shoulders?? Massive hands?? anything! You will have it harder.

If you are an average size in your home country then fine, you will be able to fit into something out there, but if you find it hard shopping for your size in your home country then it will be bar impossible in Korea.

But there is hope! In Myong-Dong in Seoul there are a lot of western brands like H&M and Forever21 that have the same stuff you would find in your local stores. Itaewon also supposedly caters to the larger person, however the choice of clothing may not be to your taste.

Here are a few tips though for the curvier woman in Korea:

  • Buy waist belts, nipping in at the waist is best for curvy women, if you can't find those kind of cuts in clothes or are stuck wearing baggy clothes to cater to your size, wear a waist belt to make the outfit do a waist nip.
  • Buy all your bra's before you come here, same goes for big headed hat wearers, big footed shoe wearers, big handed glove wearers, what ever it is that you need to fit your out of proportion bits, as you'll have a much harder time getting it here.
  • If god wanted you to be a stripper too, and you are desperately trying to fight that, these bra's are pretty good:  http://www.highstreettv.com/genie-bra-3-pack-free-pads-1.html?gclid=CJje8q7PpbACFcwNtAodAzh1XQ they've started cropping up all over so you don't need to buy this brand but it's good for those with bra troubles.
Otherwise happy shopping~~ and you never know it may actually fit you so don't be afraid to try things on.
