I think some of the girls here who find the t-shirts and hoodies too small ordered the men's sizes. They say those fit well too, so I'd look into the mens sizes (plus they carry some of the same designs as the women's).
okay so i'm a plus-size girl and it kinda sucks wearing tokidoki bags that don't fit right at the hip like they should. i wish the adjustable straps were longer. and are there any t-shirts or hoodies for plus sized girls?!
:]
If you want a cross-body, messenger-type bag, the corriere has a really long strap -- I'm 5'6" and if I let the strap all the way out, it hits halfway down my thigh! For comparison, the Stellina strap is 42", Campeggio is 44" and Corriere is 60" from seam to seam (there is a fabric tab on each side, between the strap and the body of the bag). The corriere looks really big when you see it flat, but when you wear it, it sort of curves around your body and doesn't look that big at all. It's a great bag, I love mine!
As for clothes, the tees are microscopic but the hoodies are huge: the XL women's is a 42" chest, which is roughly the same size as the men's Small. I have an XL women's Sandy hoody, an XL women's Storm/Adios zip hoody, and a SM men's Ribs/Adios hoody, and they're about the same size. The zip hoody seems wider and boxier than the pullover hoodies. Maybe Jamie at JapanLA could measure the chest on some of the other sizes of men's hoodies and tees for you?
I'm 5'6" and wear either a size 16 or 18. If anyone is interested I could post a few photos of what my bags look on a plus size toki lover. I have a small collection, corriere, ciao ciao, stellina and bambino. I've never used the bambino because I think it is too small for my larger frame. My 14yo daughter just might get it for her birthday in October.
.....i do like the campeggio but when i wear it cross body, it's like a boob slicer. ush:
yay real sized girl love!! My roomie and I ares stoked about this thread!
