i need a shopper! ubud!

so i%26#39;m in UBUD and in desperate need of some gorgeous clothes that are designed for women%26#39;s bodies. i%26#39;m a size 14 and am having a hard time finding anything over here. anyone know stores or shops/markets offering beautiful clothing for curvy women?

extra points if it%26#39;s gypsyfied or artsy.

meanwhile i%26#39;m also curious where one goes to find architectural pieces, carved doors, shrines, statues? preferably old/antique but modern will do too. old carts, wagons, temple decorations, etc would be great too.

thanks! as always!

If you really want to shop for clothing it may be worth taking a trip to legian kuta seminyak area. I have not been to Ubud yet ( will be there in 2 weeks) but have a list of larger size womens clothing . I got it off another forum so not sure how up to date it is but will post if for you incase you are heading that way. Cant comment on the style as I said only got this info somewhere else.%26#39; they are described as plus size but probably more normal western size. Hope you can find something that you like

*YANTHI CLOTHING owned by Wayan in Jl Sahadewa, Legian (Garlic Lane) near the Melasti end. Sells Billabong and Quicksilver from her house at the rear of the shop.

For architectural pieces I would head to Kerokokan to jl Gn Tangkuban Perahu - which has just shop after shop that sells this kind of merchandise, some of it old and some of just made with old wood. This road stretches for a couple of kilometres and is well worth the visit.

This is good.

My wife is a size 12 and still found it hard to find stuff that fit. She also struggled to find shoes.

Any more ideas along these lines - clothes and shoe stores that cater for the average western body size?
