Boo Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 What a shame blue, I'm sure you would look lovely in a twinset & pearls BigSpuds, Have any of your female relatives got a catalogue? If yes, look in the measuring section thats usually at the start of the womens clothes section or else, as they others said, go to topshop/hennes etc & ask the staff, thats their job to know these things. I don't know the sizes in inches though, just size 8, 10 etc. Think abt how tall she is as well, as you might need the petite section of the shops, to get the right length for trousers, skirts, sleeve length etc. Be brave & good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Buy the clothes here in Thailand where she can get a proper fit and the cost will also be much more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Buy the clothes here in Thailand where she can get a proper fit and the cost will also be much more reasonable. Lopburi, He wants a gift for her. A gift from UK. I guess the cost is not the main concern. But you're right, maybe another gift would be more appropriate. Please help, what is a nice gift from UK?

Boo Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Maybe a nice stick of brighton rock Or maybe not if he still wants a gf when he gets back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SPUDS Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 She wants me to get her a little kilt. She cant find a nice one in thailand. Said she has found one but its not right. She has been looking for ages. Loads of girls round here wear them for clubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 She wants me to get her a little kilt. I'm sorry for my very little knowledge of the anglo saxon traditions but aren't kilts for men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Maybe buy some tartan then whilst in UK (quick internet search in your area will tell you where to buy or else that scottish shop just before picadilly circus, name anyone???) take it back to LOS & have it made to measure at the tailors. A thoughtful idea & an original skirt, viola, you are the perfect boyfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG SPUDS Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Its not for her visa! Muppet !! Its not what i dress her in! its what she wants! I dont dress her, she dresses herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Its not what i dress her in! its what she wants! So maybe a bit of culturally informative history of the kilt would help her change her mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SPUDS Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 She just wants a kilt for the pattern and style. It really is that simple!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Ignore them spuds, girls know that fashion transcends gender, look at beckham & his sarong & poshs knickers, or maybe not. Get the tarten & get it made up for her in LOS, cheaper, more original & she can have any style she wants then & no fear you get the wrong size.

In that case it would be best to bring the material and some photos and have it made here; with a silk lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyy Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Assuming that the 25 is in inches, and is a waist measurement, you need a US size 4, UK size 6. This implies a hip measurement of 35, however, which is likely to be too large for the slender hips common on Thai young ladies. I recently had the job of measuring a dozen 12 and 13 year old girls for cheerleading uniforms. The most common hip measurement for a 25 inch waist in that group (who are just as slim as Thai young ladies) was about 32 or 33 inches. Still, in a kilt it shouldn't matter that much. Maybe your GF is on to the ever-so-common fetish US men have for the plaid pleated skirts of Catholic schoolgirl uniforms. Why they find them irresistably sexy I don't know, but they do. Go figure.
