How to Measure Yourself

Every chart on this page and every seller chart on Taobao or Weidian is in centimeters. Take these five measurements once with a soft tape and keep them in your notes.

  1. 1

    Chest / bust

    Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Breathe normally and read the number in centimeters.

  2. 2

    Waist

    Measure around your natural waist, the narrowest point between ribs and hips, usually just above the belly button. For jeans, also measure where you actually wear the waistband, which is often 2–4 cm lower.

  3. 3

    Hips

    Stand with feet together and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and seat. This number matters for skirts, trousers, and fitted jackets.

  4. 4

    Inseam

    Take a pair of trousers that fit and lay them flat. Measure from the crotch seam straight down the inner leg to the hem. Chinese listings usually give inseam and total length separately, so check which one is shown.

  5. 5

    Foot length

    Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure heel to mark in centimeters. Measure both feet and use the larger number. Do it in the evening, when feet are slightly bigger.

Brand and Seller Differences

There is no single Chinese size standard. Each Taobao, 1688, or Weidian seller writes its own chart for each listing, and two listings for the same style of hoodie can differ by 4–6 cm at the same letter size. The charts above are a starting point, not a guarantee; the listing chart always wins.

Listings are usually labeled either Asian size or EU size. An Asian-size chart follows the smaller cut described in the tables above. An EU-size chart is meant to line up with Western labels, but the measurements are still what count, since sellers sometimes relabel the same garment for export.

The reliable method is to compare the listing's cm measurements to a garment you already own and like the fit of. Lay the garment flat, measure chest (armpit to armpit, doubled), length, and shoulder width, and pick the size whose numbers are closest.

Worked example

Your chest measures 100 cm. A tee that fits comfortably needs roughly 4–8 cm of ease, so look for a listing whose garment chest is at least 104 cm (regular) or 108 cm (relaxed). If the seller's L is listed at 100 cm and XL at 106 cm, order the XL even if you normally wear L. For hoodies and jackets add another 4 cm on top for layering.

Sizing Tips

Chinese sizing runs smaller — when in doubt, size up

Always check the seller's own size chart in the listing

Measure yourself (chest, waist, hips, foot length) before ordering

For sneakers, CN sizing is the same as EU sizing

Weidian and Taobao sellers often post their own detailed size charts — always check these

Pro tip: When ordering from Weidian or Taobao, always screenshot the seller’s size chart from the listing. Sizing can vary significantly between different manufacturers even at the same numeric size.

Sizing FAQ

Do Chinese sizes run small?+

Yes. A Chinese L is usually closer to a US or EU M, and sometimes an S. Size up one step for a regular fit and two if you want it loose or are between sizes. Always compare the listing's cm measurements to a garment you own rather than trusting the letter.

Is a CN shoe size the same as EU?+

For sneakers, yes: CN 42 is EU 42. Some sellers also list an older Chinese system where a size like 260 means 26.0 cm foot length. When a chart shows foot length in centimeters, use that column instead of any US conversion.

What if the seller does not post a size chart?+

Ask through LitBuy. Add a note on your order and the agent will request chest, length, and shoulder measurements from the seller before buying. If the seller does not answer, you can ask LitBuy staff to measure the item during QC and return it if it does not fit.

Can I return clothing that does not fit?+

Only while it is still in the LitBuy warehouse. Review the QC photos and any measurements before you approve shipping; once the parcel leaves China, returns to the seller are not practical. Ordering two sizes and returning one is a common approach for expensive pieces.
