Plus size clothing
Kind of a strange question but here it goes..
We are Canadians living in San Jose Del Cabo. My wife is struggling to find plus size swimwear.
Does anybody have any tips for her - here or La Paz (or anywhere else for that matter)?
Thanks in advance,
Russ

Try COSTCO in San Lucas. The following may sound outrageous but it works:
Your better half can ask a Mexican lady of similar dimensions where she shops.

walmart has a plus size section. also dorians if you have one down there.here in ensenada they have plus size stores. You have to look. They are
called talles and grandes I would think some of the good hotels would have some plus size suits but probably expensive.You might also try shopping
online at www.lanebryant.com , www.roamans.com they have suits and so does www.justmysize.com. Asking some mexican ladies there was a great suggestion,. Good luck,k

there are no Plus Sizes
Only very fluffy people.
Some say it is the inflation of Mexico that will make you fluffy.

Gee, I think many of us get fluffy over the years, been told it gives our bodies more to sustain us in case of a serious illness....so far haven't put
that to the test yet tho.

My husbands' aunts always want me to bring down plus size clothes to them. Really hard to find it down there...especially the undergarments. Most
Mexican women I know just swim in shorts and T-shirts...tell her to just go native!
