Do you feel frustrated or annoyed if you buy the wrong size of clothes online? Because the body shapes of people are different; different brand of clothes also have different size standard. So some people sometimes will worry about the clothes size they choose if correct or wonder how to find the correct clothes size. Then how do we avoid choosing the wrong size that does not fit us perfectly? Here are some advices to figure out the correct size of clothes and make your online shopping process a great fun.
Measure yourself using a flexible measuring tape first
It is very useful to have a plastic measuring tape in hand when shopping online. You must know your clear dimension of bust/chest, waist, and hips and so on. So measure yourself first. Please do not pull the tape tightly when measuring. And be aware that the tape remains parallel to the floor.
- A: Shoulder Width
Stand erect and relaxed, measure across upper back from end of one shoulder bone (top of arm) to the other end of shoulder bone (top of arm).
B: Bust/chest
Stand erect and relaxed, then measure your bust/chest around the fullest part of your bust/chest line with the tape passing under the arms in a circle. (If you are female, it is important to wear a bra to be accurate.)
C: Waist
Stand relaxed and breathe out, measure around your natural waistline which is the narrowest part near your belly button.
D: Hips
Stand still with your feet normally apart and put the tape around the fullest part of your hips in one circle.
E: Arm Length
Put your one arm at the side, place one end of the tape at the nape of the neck and measure to the shoulder and down the arm to the wrist.
After taking the measurements correctly, you have to pay attention to one more thing. You must know clothes you choose are tight or loose, larger or smaller than usual. You may need to float the size up and down according to the pattern, material or item description shown online. And also it is necessary to have a look at other buyers' comments and suggestions. (Please be aware that Chinese size is a little smaller than international size.)
If you are still not very sure about the clothes size, please kindly write down your body sizes including your body height, weight, bust/chest, hips etc., and then ask our customer service for help. We will help you to coordinate and communicate with online sellers. The sellers will give some advices, and then you can decide by yourself.
