For obvious reasons, local clothing on Bali often runs smaller for the European body type. Most local clothing brands design their pieces with a maximum size of L. What do you do if you're looking for plus-size options? Here is a list of Balinese brands and stores offering beachwear and swimsuits for women with fuller figures.
Mass-market
Well-known mass-market brands like H&M, Uniqlo, Marks & Spencer, and Mango offer a diverse range of options and are available in Bali's shopping malls. Online ordering is also an option, and you can rest assured that your order will arrive within a couple of working days. Delivery rules are always available on the brands' websites.
The main advantage of global brands is their universally accepted sizing standards, reducing the chances of items being completely unfitting. Here are a couple of examples:
- Mango offers summer dresses, sundresses, and beach accessories.
Uniqlo combines beauty, practicality, and skin protection from ultraviolet rays.
- H&M provides dresses, beach tunics, and swimwear.
Prices in popular stores typically range from IDR 450,000 to IDR 1,000,000 for dresses and IDR 450,000 to IDR 650,000 for swimsuits.
