Wikiepedia actually has a list of the world's average height lei.
Singaporean women are not exactly the shortest in our region loh.
Avg height is 160 cm. which means I'm 8 cm from the norm.
Assuming the retailers aim their sizes at the mass market, this means that i will find it easier to find clothes my size in countries that have smaller sized women.
This leaves me with: Indonesia, Malaysia & Thailand!
Quite true lah, I've previously mentioned in my posts that I find it easier to find size 3 shoes in Malaysia lah.
As for bangkok, I managed to buy some pencil skirts (waist: 23 inch) from MBK in Thailand.
So... you may wanna consider these countries for your next shopping vacation? *wink*
