Hi - here are some notes I have copied from the forum. I haven't been to any of these places myself (going in October).
Larger Size Clothes:
'Big is Good - Australia" shop Jl Sahadewa 11 (garlic lane), past Legends towards Jl Melasti.
Prices are reasonable - fixed.
website www.bigisgoodaustralia.com /email shop@bigisgoodaustralia.com
Animale have a factory outlet, much cheaper. Not very far from Bemo Cnr. Kuta.
Factory Outlet
82 Jl.Raya Kuta just before Jln Setiabudi (where Raya Kuta becomes Jln Imam Bonjol)
phone 757015/757014
The Loft
Just before Paul's Place on Jl. Laksmana
Clothes for the fuller figure
Tel: 736 715
Divine Diva
(1)Sells larger sizes. It is owned by an Australian lady. It is at the end of Jl Seminyak, take the left hand fork as if you were going to Jl Oberoi, where there are many good restaurants.
ALSO
(2)have just opened a shop just up from Bintang supermarket (Jl Legian, as you walk north toward Seminyak its on the left) same side but about 100 metres up towards seminyak.
**NB: I haven't had time to check on a map yet (not too familiar with Seminyak) to see if these two lots of directions - taken from different posts - are actually for the same shop, or if Divine Diva has two shops (I suspect they are referring to the same shop)
Magi Shop
Jl. Pantai Kuta 51 - have a good range of larger size clothes.
(If you know where Starbucks and the Hard Rock Megastore are, then it is right across the road).
Millenia
It is factory outlet, has western sizes.
Jl Teuku Umar, Denpasar - near the post office. Most Taxi drivers know it. If you are going from Legian, you go straight across the roundabout where Dunkin Donuts is, it is just on the right before the next set of Traffic Lights. A two-storey warehouse building, plenty of parking.
**NB: - found a second post giving a different address for the Millenia store - Jln Dipenegoro - maybe it's on a corner ???
Bathers
Climax Swimwear
Legian St - will make bathers to measure.
Situated in the first square you come to on the right of Legian St after Melasti St, heading towards Kuta. (approx 1/2 way between Poppies 2 & Melasti St.
Someone else mentioned that there are a couple of swimwear shops in Poppies 2, near the Barong Hotel, that might make to measure too.
Hope this helps.
