Many Thai women are small, slim, stylish, and wear nice clothes. Brian took me to a nice shop in the ‘small mall,’ – “Maya” (pronounced, “may-yah!”) to look for some workout clothes, plus other things.
Because I’ve lost some weight, a ‘large’ fit me – tightly – but I think that is the largest size in the shop.
I brought 4 pairs of jeans here with me when we moved to Thailand. I ended up cutting off two pairs to make shorts for my gym workouts because the shorts I bought at the shop are still fairly tight in the waist and uncomfortable when trying to exercise.
This helped a bit, but now the jeans – shorts and regular jeans – are too loose around the waist and hips. I’m not to the point where I would fit into the jeans at the shop, but have a problem keeping the jeans on. ARRRRGH!
I ordered a travel sewing kit and it arrived yesterday. I have just finished altering the two long pairs of jeans, the two pairs of shorts, and some fleecy pants I call my ‘snuggies.’ The sewing isn’t NEAT, but it’s sturdy. I wear my shirts outside my pants anyway, so the stitching at the waist doesn’t show, and my pants are staying on – always a good thing… š
The long term solution, I realize, is for me to continue to lose the lard so I DO fit into the smaller sizes here.
Ah, thatās great, Linda, that you could remedy the situation until you can fit into the new store sized clothes there! Sewing is such a handy skill!
Well, I feel better that I don’t have to choose between too tight clothes for exercising and my pants falling down…š
