Just go shopping in the city for a T-shirt, quite often L/XL are a bit more expensive than S/M... even sometimes @ shops like H&M, Zara, etc. ... since most of the times I'm just inbetween M/L it sometimes is a bit anoying - that's true.

Prices are almost always different for the extra large sizes, 40 I think is a bit small to be considerred extra large though. Usually it's for sizes over 16 in the US or XXXL sizes. I don't think it's just the extra material, it probably has something to do with the production of usual sizes and maybe making up for the losses since they are less likely to sell. But I don't really know.

.. so... when is someone going to tell me where to get these pants?
Warna
So from all this I still don't understand if there are any stores I can go to in Munich to by clothes that are plus sized. Any one know where I might find some... other than the very expensive Ula Popken

Marina Rinaldi, for example, Basler, and there's also a shop at Odeonsplatz (on the Hofgarten side, just past Tambosi) that carries plus sizes. They are all expensive but since the sales are on right now you might be able to find some things that are reasonably priced.

Was that in reply to Warna's question? unsure.gif If I'm not mistaken the largest size at Esprit is 42.

She said she was a size 38 or 40 so Esprit should fit. but there are also other brand names as well.

Ulla Popken does have a factory shop in Dornach...I heard that it was much cheaper

CNA does have a section for fuller size women as well as Mode Vögele
We could also sew our own.

My suggestion: More physical exercise, less fatty foods. Get off that old habits! Result: No large size clothing required. Save costs.

Hans, shut the fuck up about something you know nothing about...
I wear a small pant, but Sorry, seems I don't excercise my boobs enough, so I should shut up about having to buy tops 2 sizes bigger than the bottoms! mad.gif
Hans Albers
Sorry Carm.

And what do you suggest for long arms and legs? Chop them off at elbows and knees to "save costs"?
