[@radfish2960]

We Go in Harajuku has some plus size things. So does SYNDROME in Harajuku, Nissen, Clover Shop, and Bape all have plus sizes. I believe SYNDROME is on a second level of the shops so you just have to look up and there are plus size clothing shops on the second floors in Harajuku.

[@LangBellsChannel]

Do they have pleated skirts?

Plus size in Japan is extremely limited. All the stores you mentioned have 4XL which is roughly size 18AU, but fits more like 16AU. They think it all stops at 116cm bust size.

Ava Soybean part of the reason that these stores are more expensive is because they don’t have as many costumers, so they have to charge higher prices to stay in business

[@goddessneptune]

She doesn't seem like lolita is her style (which is fine) but for plus sized lolita clothes Maxicamam is best. I mean occasionally other brands will have pieces that will fit, if there is plenty of shirring but the above indicated brand actually has a plus sized line! (called MAM) but it IS at normal lolita princes, so in other words it costs $$$ but as a size 18/20 US I was able to get a lolita dress from them that AMPLY fit me, just to give you an idea and yes it was expensive, but the quality was also on point. I don't know why Japan is so anti having options for larger people. I always feel so bad for larger Japanese people (or larger East Asians in general) as it is a trend in Japan, Korea and Taiwan to not only rarely have their own brands that go up beyond say a size 8 but also for Western stores to STOP STOCKING SIZES for women's shoes at 8.5 and to stop stocking clothes with a number size from H&M, The Gap, Forever 21, ect at a US size 12 (even though all of these clothing companies go up higher in size). Like I do not understand how even in the busiest of locations in the country stores like ABC Mart (a shoe store) and the above listed western stores don't import the larger sizes, as the sizes exist and the market will exist in places like Shinjuku. I mean I know this video was not even about getting clothes from western stores in Japan, but the fact that these brands have larger sizes that ALREADY EXIST and that even the most centrally located of these stores refuse to import these larger sizes does a huge disservice to larger people in the country and also is potentially losing them a whole wackadoodle of money. When I lived in Korea from 2008 - 2011 I felt really bad for women who were so large they would qualify as plus sized even in Canada and the USA as I got to wear reasonably nice clothes from back home but they were often stuck wearing not cute at all oversized graphic tees and parachute pants which can't give anyone a boost of confidence when they're already being pressured every which way to be thin in order to be conventionally attractive in society. Sure Seoul had a few places that sold some ok or nice large people clothes but they were NOT CHEAP and supposed that someone had the money and time to go into Seoul and then invest in these clothes. Anyways, that aside LOVED the video as it did make me more aware of some options in Tokyo I wasn't aware of! Also your friend is really cute and I LOVE when friends in East Asia who can wear East Asian sizes support their larger friends (even if that friend is just "larger" in East Asia) on a quest to find cute clothes for them! (as I have been sheparded around many the time while my smaller friends have been looking for clothes and have in the meantime been lucky to find anything in these self same stores that both fit and that I like)

[@LydiaSue]

Michelle Hobbs I read an article from a business that is in I believe in China not Japan so I don’t know how different the customs are but the problem of not a lot of shops having plus size clothes in them seems to be shared in both countries and according to him data tells them that plus size women don’t particularly want to go in store to buy their clothes because they don’t feel comfortable trying them on in so they would prefer to order online because is more convenient then going to the store, try them on at home and if they don’t fit to return them and that way they don’t have to see anyone. I don’t know how true this is I just know that that is what the representative for that particular company stated.

[@goddessneptune]

Lydia Tomecko it May be true that plus sized women feel less comfortable buying the clothing in person, but, I now live in China and can confirm there are WAY more larger sizes here than in Japan, both in stores and online. H and M here goes to at least a US size 16, whereas in Japan sizes for clothes with numbers, at H and M stopped at 12. The GAP in Japan was even worse. Also in China, it’s not hard to find custom and larger sizes online, while it was hard to find custom and larger sizes in Japan comparatively (and was WAY more unaffordable when you could find it). Some might point out that you can buy XXL Uniqlo clothes online, but this was only for select pieces and was pretty far from being a US size XXL. When I was in Japan the XXL pieces also were not sold in any UNIQLO store in Osaka.

[@MamaMOB]

Liyu Ze I absolutely loved what you said until the last paragraph. The reason people find overweight people unattractive is because it’s unhealthy. Human beings look for health in a mate. Attraction is about mating whether we want to admit that or not. And point-blank overweight people are obviously unhealthy. Japan is just one of the few nations that doesn’t allow its people to go around claiming that being obviously unhealthy is healthy. The rest of the world has gone crazy with “body positivity” that encourages unhealthy behavior.

Exactly. I'm a size XL/XXL for pants in Japan and I'm way skinnier than Tiasha (but way bigger than Alex).

I usually shop at Shimamura for skinny pants, or buy man's pants in L/XL for oversize pants.

[@daianalarisa1337]

[@lexipirate8611]

If we are going by that logic, XS should be the cheapest and S ahould be a dollar more and then M should be another dollar more, so on and so forth. When Xs-L are all the same price yet still use more fabric than the previous, 1X-3/4X should also be the same price as the other 4 clothing items. Unless you want XS-$12 S-$13 M-$14 L-$15.

[@callmewaves1160]

As a plus size girl you have to think of it logistically. Larger body means more fabric. More fabric costs more money

[@lexipirate8611]

@@callmewaves1160 I am aware. I wear a size 2-3X. But Theres more fabric on a size Large than a size Small. I just said this but I'll say it again. If we go by that logic, sizes XS-L, should not all be the same price. A person who wears size large has a bigger body than a person who wears size small. If we go by what you are saying, XS should be the cheapest and the price just keeps raising a few dollars with every size up you go. What I am saying is; Im tired of XS-L people paying $30 for something, and I have to pay $45. If we want everything to be fair, make everything the said baseline price of $30. Or have increasing prices with increasing sizes.

Shimamura (and their sub-brand/store Avail) was my go to for larger clothing (I'm European L/XL size) when I lived in Japan. The collection is better in some stores than others, but I thought they had many cute pieces that were pretty similar to the trends in other Japanese shops, so I was really happy I could be trendy! They are the only chain store in Japan that have a dedicated plus size section that I know of. The standard GU and Uniqlo chain stores generally don't have big sizes, but some pieces and t-shirts were giving enough that I could fit in. Whenever I saw something cute I would just try the biggest size and sometimes it was a hit and sometimes it was a miss. I bought some of my favorite clothing pieces in GU! And the graphic tees at Uniqlo are just too cute with fun collaborations with for example Disney, Marvel, designers etc. As for online shopping in Japan (apart from international brands), RyuRyu has some of their items up to 6XL. You can just sort their clothing by the size you need and see if there is any cute Japanese style clothing that you like! I've bought the prettiest lace dress ever there. Edit: I almost forgot Honeys! They are also a chain store with physical and online stores and generally have a very cutesie-casual style. They only go up to LL, but with certain pieces and styles (like oversized styles) you could find some cute pieces that fit if you're an L/XL size in the EU, especially if you don't have a large bust (which was my problem most of the time).

[@JellyGummy26]

I wear medium american sizes, 7 or 9 in pant sizes, 6 in dress size. When i went to japan, I KID YOU NOT, I DID NOT FIT IN ANYTHING!! i bought a few cute skirts in L and some shirts, but every single cute dress i found would be very tight around the boobs and a bit at the waist... I really wanted a lolita styled dress but no luck since theyre all "one size" :( Thing is, im also too small for these big size shops, so even if i knew about them, it would still be too big :(

[@bekki_31]

Very late answer but: There are many Lolita shops online (also second hand) and on some of them you can say our measurments and they will make it in that size or have sizes up to like 2XL for some dresses. I got my first two Lolita dresses from 'my-lolita-dress.com'. They have many sizes and even surprise bags (what I bought) where you can get dresses cheeper. There are many Lolitas that have problems because of there breast size and I think there are a few videos on youtube about where you can find dresses that fit with bigger breasts or how to alter dresses.

[@mish2773]

Good question!

[@tngirl341]

It showed nothing

[@MamaMOB]

Anna Witt and you know this how…

[@ansigatico63]

This is so helpfull As someone who is not the average size at all here in Argentina, i was a little bit worried that i could never find my size in Japan. Thank you for this video, it's amazing 💛💛💛

[@alexisives878]

On the shirt that has the rips on the sides you could add some really cool ribbon to it

[@dawncl6205]

The bird is Badzt Maru, one of my fave sanrio characters. Suprised you didn't know since he is with Hello kitty on a lot of merch. He is a really cute penguin.

[@irene-3-]

15:44 That's BT21 characters created by BTS! Damn, wish I was there to buy it 😂❤️

[@marinak4452]

BT21 is in EVERY shop in Korea. Literally every store. Bookstores, grocery stores, allll of themmmmm. Stationary, pillows, cutlery. BT21 everything. BTS merch won't be in stores, but BT21 will be. BTS are super big in Japan too so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same. Its hardly a find. lol

[@allisonjimenez3199]

Same!!!

[@Kowai__Kyuketsuki]

When Alex picked up the bt21 shit and said "idk what it is but it's cute" 😱 I'm shook

[@wendyharris1121]

I wonder how Tokyo’s going to handle the 2020 Olympics tourist shoppers. 😨

[@elodieelvira7913]

the same as they've always done, this is what we have, take it or leave it. lol

[@zomgkb]

They are gonna make bank lol

[@JLynnEchelon]

Nothing. The same thing Korea did. We didn't get any nicer plus size clothes either.

[@jjdraws3390]

Update from March, 2020. They dont have to!

[@linda7189]

Wendy Harris dont worry about it lol

[@thelovelymisshill]

Tiasha is an total babe and has the most gorgeous smile 💛 The ruffled waistband trouser are called paper-bag trousers as the look like the gathered top of a paper bag 🛍

[@TheGocakes]

One of my motivations to lose weight is to be able to maybe fit into some of Japans clothing when I go visit but this gives me a lot of relief to know that there's still hope if I don't hit my goal before I go there!! All the outfits were so cute!

[@xbookwormqueenx]

Nat Weidmann good luck! It’s one of my goals to fit in their clothes too.

[@Hailey-bz2ym]

Nat Weidmann best of luck in your health endeavors! Also trying to lose weight

[@Thefashiongoddessnyc]

Thanks for doing this as I wanted to know what they do with plus size girls living or visiting Japan..I am a us size 16 and found that alternative clothing brands are much more plus size friendly, I only buy from Listen Flavor, Sex Pot Revenge and ACDC Rag. I can also fit oversized Liz Lisa tops..I think neon hair will look great on Tayaisha and also that black bird on the black tee is badtz Maru! He’s one of Hello Kitty’s friends!

[@xXEatingSoulzXx]

hey im the same size as you and have you had any luck with skirts and pants in japan???

[@crimsoncamellia7079]

I'd just spend most of my time shoppin in the mens, lookin like a lazy grunge boye we stan forever tomboys

[@Sophie-gn8jw]

Crimson Camellia such a mood I only ever shop in the mens section, sometimes very rarely ill see something that's nice like a tshirt or something in the woman's section and I'll get it but 99% of the time you'll catch me in the men's area xD

[@frutiytootie223]

That's a Sanrio character! Badtz-Maru! ❤💕💕

[@princesslin5000]

Option 1 the dusty pink will look so cute for her Also the shirt in 15:45 is a BT21 shirt, BT21 is a group of cute characters created by the South Korean boy group BTS and each character represents one of the members. They have a lot of merch, like the one you saw, like shirts, plushies, keychains etc. on their site : ) Love you Alex

[@juliavanuem5324]

Yess!! Happy you look into other bodytypes too🤗🤗🤗 love your videoss💖

[@cookiecutter820]

the dusty bob would look amazing with her skin tone and look gorgeous

[@nunpho]

The shops at the beginning of the video are what I have to deal with. Im a size 24, 5ft 9 and clothes in my size are so frumpy and boring as well as expensive 😭

[@maddiejaymes]

Hey Alex I know this is an older video but I really appreciate you making this. It’s refreshing to see how excited you were to help find something for Tiasha too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a straight size friend want to go shopping or into stores with me, they always just want me to go with them and look at their stuff. It can be disheartening.

[@lovemycatSofus]

15:45 - I don't even know, but, but it's cuute. Army - Dear Lord, yes. Yes, BT21 is the best ❤👌

I saw that part and immediately went into the comment to look for someone talking about it lol. Army's unite!!

The neon Bob is EVERYTHING

[@wonpillawyer3381]

Ok but why is nobody talking about how pretty she is. Nobody would be able to pull of those clown gren pants but her like?? HOW and she can pull of the green hair like ugh i can't

[@gigisweepea74]

That black suspender skirt looks so flippin adorable on you!

[@xXBlackRoseHeartXx]

The long skirt w suspenders looked so adorable omg

[@LilyTreeArt]

Option 1 with the pink! It would work sooo much on her! It would look amazing

[@rosemfonseca4492]

Also thank for the video is a struggle to find cute clothes for us plus girls

[@mintchocosan]

Tiasha us such a cutie, I love her energy so much. Your positive vibes really put a smile on my face every time! Also, when you showed that tshirt at 15:46 my heart jumped a little and I wanted to crawl through my screen to snatch it from you, because BT21 are characters made by BTS!

[@pockies7446]

She reallllyyyy knows how to dress for her body, EVERYTHING looked sooooooo amazing on her like holy crap, I'm considered "plus size" and struggle soooooo much with how clothes look on me and finding flattering clothes. My size is us 9-11 L-XL which u can find in almost all stores besides like Hollister but who really shops there anyway lol but I've always had problems with my weight ive also been a size zero or XS before and I've always been jealous of women like her that have a real eye for clothes that are so flattering I just haven't been able to ever pull stuff like that off... as I get older.. 27 now I've become more confident and comfortable with myself and I've branched out (somewhat) lol but I'm still struggling and I just had to say how beautiful everything was, her style is amazing and those green pants looked AMAZING:)

[@amelieg246]

I'm a similar size to Alex, but a lot of my friends are quite curvaceous so I always used to feel self conscious and wore boring clothes to hide my lack of a figure, then one day I threw caution to the wind with a mustard straight fit suit from Stradivarius (they sell them in lots of colours and I think they'd suit anyone). Basically, be brave with your style and it will make you feel so much for confident in yourself. If you love what you're wearing, you won't care if someone else doesn't. If people stare when I'm wearing something wacky, I don't stop to think if they love it or hate because I'm just happy in it

[@LucienDeSilver]

As a UK size 16/18 AND 6ft 2 I doubt I will ever find clothes in Japan 😂

[@kayleighloppnow4335]

I think option #2 would look best with the yellow bridesmaid dress she’ll wear if she’s still wearing pastel yellow. Plus it’s going to look great with everything! Congrats on getting married btw! I’m getting married in October 💜🧡

[@slater3249]

The black bird shirt is Bad Badtz-Maru he's a penguin from Sanrio

[@Evermore112]

Her: *pulls out BT21 shirt* Oooh what's this? Me: BTS!!! Her: I dunno but it's cute. Me: *DYING AND WANTS IT*

[@-jennifer-7476]

Im not plus size, but im not small, i dont have a skinny waist so i never buy clothes from Asian stores but it makes me happy that there are stores that cater to bigger sizes 🥺☺️

[@emiliamaddux7883]

PINKKKKK!!!! #1 it would be beautiful on an already beautiful lady!!!

[@nataloowho]

Badtz-maru (the character on the black shirt) is a penguin character designed by Sanrio. One of my faves, so cute!

[@paranoiarpincess]

Cristine named her kitty after the Ice cream shop. We have them here in Canada too.

[@betina7918]

Imo dusty pink bob has a beautiful instagram vibe while the neon yellow ombre bob sounds like what you would 'naturally' get at at an adventurous trip from a japanese hair salon..... sooo NEON YELLOW OMBRE BOB PLEASE 💛💛

[@mochi_ani]

Omg Punyus looks like such a cool shop. I got so excited seeing Tiasha’s face light up when she showed the haul ❤️‍🔥🌱

Ahh the struggle of finding cute and/or trendy clothes in plus size, it's a nightmare lol. So happy to see she was able to find some cute stuff ♡

[@FluffieXStarshine]

Torrid has changed my life for that. cute and trendy clothes that actually fit and aren't going to break the bank.

[@ebyfay]

@@FluffieXStarshine I'd love to shop Torrid but unfortunately it's only cheap if you live in America. Their international shipping is absolutely disgusting. Last time I attempted to buy from them the cost to ship to Australia was legit $68. For one damn top that was only $11 💀

[@rowboat4946]

Ebeny I know how you feel! I was trying to find online plus size shops but shipping is so expensive!

[@amara560]

@@ebyfay I feel the struggle. There's only two shops that have decent plus size clothing in my country... Wish I could wear cuter clothes :(

That neon yellow would go with her skin tone so well!!! Gahhhh I hope it wins but so far it’s second 😦

[@SabrinaHawk]

KLWenz93 I agree I’m afraid the dusty pink will end up washing her out especially when the color starts to fade

[@SabrinaHawk]

KLWenz93 big same I think dusty pink will wash out her skin tone

[@peachybabe8540]

I’m average size, tall and have broad shoulders and wide hips. I knew the second I got to Japan for a two month exchange that I had absolutely no chance with getting clothes. Japanese clothes run REALLY small so please don’t be discouraged if nothing fits you! It’s not your fault. You don’t have to be Alex’s size 6 to love yourself and rock clothes. So enjoy Japan if you’re going there one day! ❤️❤️❤️
