Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi,

Im just wondering do the clothes in the market actually resemble our UK sizes? I didnt buy any last year as i thought i was too fat and didnt wanna be embarrassed trying them on for them not to fit or to waste money on stuff that was too small. Anyway ive since lost over 2 stone so would like to buy some but im curious if the sizes are what they say they are?

We have bought clothes from all over Icmeler and we find that the sizes are smaller, compared to here. eg medium size shirt there would just fit on a person who is classed as a small here. However there is no problem what so every, trying on the clothes before you buy. They we help you. Well done on your new look, have fun shopping. Would also recommend Metropol clothes shop no hassle plus nice guy's there, plus changing rooms available. This shop is next door to the Set resturant. Opposite Pleasure Night club. Also there is a very nice ladies clothes shop right opposite Metropol, cross the road walk down some steps as the shop is below road level. My wife got some lovelly clothes from there 2 years ago and still look like new.

I would agree aboutt he sizes they are smaller over there, so get the next size up from what you are depending on the material! I would also agree about the metropol they are lovely guys there and theres no hassle whats so ever they dont even follow you round the shop - i was completely amazed. I do always seem to go back to the same shop all the time though even if its to buy one thing. This shop is called ali babas and is situated next to wonderboys restaurant along the main dolmus round heading down towards the beach. Have a look the guy is really nice there!

My daughter buys cothes regularly - a size 12 here, she gets the next size up in icmeler. When I've bought tops for my sons, I get a large or extra large - so again a size up. You could ask the shopkeeper if they have a conversion chart. There is one at the Metropol shop - and I agree about the service in there: the owner Tahir is very good. I think the only real way is to try clothes on - most shops have a place - or a convenient curtain to hide behind.

Thanks everyone. Im going to go to the shops recommended and treat myself

Is it possible to get big ladies and gent sizes
im a 20/22 and hubby is xxl

Hi Fee,Fee

you can get xxl for men some shops have been selling things up to 5xl but you dont get the choice you do on the smaller stuff.

For women there are a couple of shops sell bigger sizes but I've never really seen anything I would buy.

fee fee there was a shop in the square just along from the lighthouse resteraunt that sold larger ladies sizes and it had a good variety but i don't know if its still there ? Maybe some one can let us know

Its moved next door to Pop Inn Colette.

good thats my wardrobe worries over
I can find daytime stuff but not much evening wear and me and hubby both dress up at night
thanks

Does anyone know a shop that does clothes for the slightly larger man? e.g 6 ft 5 and 23 stone?!

Hi Erik

ive seen gents t shirts and polos at mamaris market must have been about 8 xl but very plain
Theres also tailors that could do you something bit special made to measure but that probly be expensive
buying bigger size clothes anit easy at the best of times

Hi Erik

The shop where Fee Fee was told to go does big sizes for men as well.

There is a shop where my hubby goes in Marmaris which does lovely big size shirts and a longer length it is near the bizzare.

many thanks, i will have a butchers round. do you know what end of the bizarre?

its near bar street the side nearest the sea you dont go into the bizzare its round the corner from it.

Sorry typical woman not very good at directions


They only do the light cotton style ones very cool for holidays not designer fakes incase that was what your looking for.

thats fine, i have a look round..thanks

Beware though, I have bought jeans every time I have been in Icmeler, but due to the heat I think I have been a little bloated (and due to food and drink!!), and then find that the jeans are too big once I am home.

I remember that this shop in Icmeler had some lovely cotton trousers in for women, and I got some swimming shorts from there, which reminds me i need some more swimming shorts

Dianne we shall be going shopping, don't let me buy any shoes though
