It's True ~~ and proven!!!!!! Central Department Store (Chidlom) has a Mark and Spencer's on the 2nd or 3rd floor (can't remember which) that carries Western women's sizes. I tried having a tailor make me some casual blouses, but wasn't really happy with the results. So I went to CDS ~~ based on a rumor ~~ and was able to buy several very casual and casual dressy T-tops. Since this is a UK store, the sizes are really European and I had to get one, and sometimes two, sizes bigger than I wear in the US.
But I am pleased with everything I found at Mark and Spencer's.
Good luck to anyone else who is in need of Western-sized clothes.

McBeanie, I think in several of the malls you can get "western"size clothes Paragon for example carries lots of bigger sizes ( I am talking bigger than a size 2!!) I have bought a number of things from here.
Nicky Prada does have western sizes but still NOT my size!
I also buy western sizes at CDS. Glad you found nice things!
Is that because you are so tiny Pook
I've been buying the British India brand for years and it fits me. There's a freestanding British India store in Central World Plaza and a boutique inside Chitlom department store. There are other ones around town,too. It's a Malaysian company.
