Singapore - Clothes shops
In Singapore clothing sizes are a real muddle. If you shop in Marks and
Spencers you will get British sizes. The sizes in other department stores
depend on the origin of the clothes. Asian brands commonly use S, M, L, XL
and the average sized non-Asian person will often need XL. There is less
choice in the stores for larger or taller people.
It is possible to have clothes tailored. There is also good internet access
so it is easy to order from on-line catalogues.
Expatriate organizations will also have more information about good places
to shop.
