@HootyTheNightOwl Most of the internet based retailrs has a size conversion chart as part of their site to convert you different intenational standards as well as inches and cm..😷

I know first hand when people reach a certain size the clothing they wear must be custom made because manufacturers don’t think about men or women who are on the large side.

@HootyTheNightOwl custom made bras are expensive also which is why most people that wear custom made clothes try to repair them themselves instead of buying new ones.
@KimBras Custom made anything is expensive - sometimes, there does come a point where you have to consider if going custom made and having something that's guaranteed to fit you might be higher value for money than taking the gamble that you "might" find something that fits on the high street or online, though.

In this case, I have a feeling that you're never going to find anything readily available for OP's partner - and I really don't want her to go through the discomfort and potentially life threatening danger of trying to squeeze into something that is too small for her.

If something goes wrong, it's not just the cost of the item they're potentially down - but it could be the cost of medical treatment, too... and then you have to think if custom made might be cheaper than the ambulance ride and treatment in hospital???

@HootyTheNightOwl I agree 100% I know first hand how that is and how important the proper fit is to a person

It’s for a lady she did try to make them but couldn’t get the elastic to fit properly on the legs@jshm2

Have you tried using a tarpaulin?
Katie01 · F
@Willomk1 then she hasn't tried enough. It's not difficult
Willomk1 · 46-50, M
Easy for some not all@Katie01

@Willomk1 there are other ways to solve the problem though. Has she tried cutting down to 9 burgers a day?

Just like to say this was a long shot and people in general have been really supportive thank you.
Well except Katie

Lol not that easy 7xl can mean a size 26 but far to small we nee a 7xl 40 to 42 and I still can’t find them
Maybe Lane Bryant,. Woman's World, Catherine's or search for that size in the web.
