The guide to buying plus size clothes Hong Kong
3 different ways to buy plus size clothes
Plus size women come in all shapes, sizes, and heights. If you want to look good and feel great you'll often find Ready-to-Wear fashion let's you down. But what are the alternatives?
This 'for plus guide' covers 3 different ways to shop for plus size clothes that make you look good and feel great because they fit you perfectly and they are the right colour and style:
- 1Ready-to-Wear Plus Size Clothes
- 2Customized Plus Size Clothes
- 3Tailormade Plus Size Clothes
First, we'll discuss the pros and cons of ready-to-wear or off-rack plus size fashion and the easy way to work out whether this shopping method is the best way to rock your specific brand of plus size curves. Then, we'll share the intel on 2 'made for you' or 'custom plus size' options that will get you a look you love when ready-to-wear fashion fails you. Let's get started...
what are ready-to-wear plus-size clothes?
Ready-to-Wear plus size clothes are pre-produced clothes based on a pattern that has been scaled into standard size categories. Eg: 2XL, 3XL, USA 18 etc. You can shop our ready-to-wear or buy from M & S, or order online from overseas plus size fashion brands that deliver to Hong Kong. But...
Ready-to-Wear plus size clothes are great if they fit your 5 torso length measurements perfectly but there's a 90% chance they won't and they can leave you feeling self-conscious, fat or frumpy. Here's why...
If the 5 torso length measurements of a garment don't match yours this happens...
- 1Your tummy looks bigger
- 2Your hips/thighs/arms look bigger
- 3You look frumpy
- 4You look older
- 5You look unstylish
the problem with off-rack plus size FASHION...
The problem with off-rack or ready-to-wear clothes (even when you buy from us) is that they are pre-designed for a fit model with specific torso length measurements and then scaled. If your torso measurements match the fit model's, the clothes will look great on you. But if they don't, you won't...
For example, let's say you and a fit model are both Size 18 and both 5'9" but the fit model is 16" from shoulder to natural waist and you are 14" from shoulder to natural waist because you have smaller boobs. If I design a top that is 16" from shoulder to natural waist it will look great on her but will make you look fat and saggy - so you'll end up with your version of the picture above!
When it comes to tops and dresses everything starts with the fit from your shoulders. If the fit model has shorter measurements than you from the shoulder it's obvious because the garment will feel uncomfortable and may bite into your underarm. But when the fit model is longer than you are from the shoulder there isn't a point of discomfort to warn you. And this is only 1 of the 5 essential torso length measurements you need to consider if you want to look great and feel confident!
So how do you know if off-rack clothes are best for you?
are ready-to-wear plus size clothes best for you?
There are two easy ways to check if ready-to-wear clothes are best for you:
- 1Self-assessment
- 2Hire a personal stylist who specializes in plus size women
Self-Assessment Method
The self-assessment approach is free. Simply look in the mirror and if you look saggy, matronly, frumpy, unstylish, or all you see are flaws, and this happens on a regular basis, it's a sure sign that ready-to-wear clothes aren't right for you!
Hire a personal stylist method
The alternative to self-assessment is to hire a personal stylist who specializes in plus size women.
The problem with the self-assessment method arises if ill-fitting clothes are all you've ever worn. That's because years of wearing clothes that don't fit you perfectly make it easy to blame your body instead of blaming your clothes. Many women get stuck because body blaming or confidence issues have become so ingrained they can't imagine looking any other way...
The advantage of working with a personal stylist is they can help you get 'unstuck' quickly by showing you how clothes should look when they fit your 5 torso length measurements perfectly. And if you're working with our personal stylists you experience first-hand the benefits of 'made for you' clothes so you'll see the difference immediately!
Before we explore what 'made for you' clothes are and why they can transform your life, not just your look, it's important to understand what your 5 essential torso length measurements are...

Sounds good, but what does this mean in practice?
How Customizing Works
Customizing means you choose a style online or in-store that is already available in standard sizes BUT INSTEAD of buying it pre-made you order the style you want and request it to be made to fit your 5 torso length measurements.
But that's not all, because it's 'made for you' you have the flexibility to choose a hot fabric you love and change other details too - you can create your own style story rather that's 100% of your desires

Customized Clothes Transform Your Life. They...
MAKE YOUR WISH LIST COME TRUE
Customized clothes give you the same feeling of satisfaction and joy as receiving everything on your XMAS or birthday 'wish list'. Instead of wishing for things to be different — I wish this dress was a different colour, or I wish the sleeves were longer, or I wish this top didn't pull across my bust, or I wish these trousers didn't gape at my waist — customized clothes make your wishes come true...

Every brand is different, but on average most brands take 2-3 weeks to make your order. You may not get the instant gratification that comes with a fast fashion purchase, but you will get a lifetime of confidence and compliments that makes it worth the wait!
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT STYLES & FABRICS TO CHOOSE?
When it comes to styles and fabric advice every brand is different. Some brands will accept customized orders but you're on your own when it comes to choosing styles and fabrics and you have to work out all the measurements yourself. If you need advice, it's best to hire a personal stylist who can advise you on the best style and fabric choices and take your measurements too...
Other fashion brands — like us — give you hands-on guidance and style advice at every step of the customizing process and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
TAILOR MADE CLOTHING FOR WOMEN
The main difference between customized clothes and tailor made clothes is that tailormade or custom plus size clothes are bespoke. This means you come up with your own idea or vision for the finished garment and a tailor designs a pattern, sources the fabric and makes it for you
With tailormade clothes, you are only limited by your imagination and budget. With customized clothes, you are modifying a pre-existing pattern so although there is great flexibility, it's not unlimited.
WHAT TYPES OF CLOTHES CAN BE TAILOR MADE?

Before: It had always been daunting for me to shop for clothing as I lacked the confidence to try new styles and colours.
After: It was my first styling session to learn about my body shape and colours for my complexion. Catherine has shown & styled me to discover what would work & I have had so much fun learning these skills. These new skills have enabled me to build up a classy & gorgeous wardrobe of dresses & separates for work and play.
Comments from friends & colleagues were so complimentary and have been stopped on the street to be asked about my gorgeous pieces. Very grateful to have discovered this little gem & highly recommend a visit.
Ling Suter

Before: I don’t want people to say “how sweet, he brought his wife”. I want people to think - who is that woman? I can feel her positive energy. I need to meet her.
After: When people meet me now they see a butterfly. Confidence shining through. They will never know the journey of self-discovery that I have taken. That will be our secret. Thank you LoveIt. I not only “Love it”, I love Me!
Irene Levy

Before meeting Catherine I used to shop thinking I had to cover my curves and the additional weight gain. I felt frumpy and uncomfortable with no style.
After: Catherine shares easy-to-apply style steps and has you feeling positive about your body shape in no time at all. With colour and style matching and tips and tricks, I watched, with my own eyes, my shape and size change by at least 2 sizes “optically” - I am the same curvy gal I was when I walked in but now I’m owning it and loving how I look. I really cannot remember the last time I felt this way. The best thing is that transformation can happen immediately with what you learn.
