A lot of Asians are super tiny and thin. I had to get xl in Asian stores when I visited Japan (mostly to fit my boobs, sgoulders or ass into the clothes) . However, I couldn't shop in tourist stores cause everything was super big (although it was labeled M). Though seeing some Hamerican tourists I understand why their tourist stores were so vanity sized. And huge. Was hilarious seeing the dejected face of some Otaku ham who couldn't fit into the cosplays/lolita clothes. She complained that the clothes were soooo tiny and it was sooo hard to find anything resembling 'normal' sizes, and didn't I agree? I shrugged and said that I found no problems fitting into the clothes.. Could have filled a tub with her sweat and tears.
