Once you've visited Aliexpress, it's hard not to return. A literally unlimited assortment and the lowest prices (sometimes things literally cost pennies) will be remembered for a lifetime. But is it possible to buy everything on Aliexpress? For example, does it make sense to buy clothes there? Costs! Why? For the same reasons why you should buy everything you need from this online store. The advantages are obvious:

1. Price. It cannot be said that any things on Aliexpress are cheaper than in other stores. But when retailers have sales, you can fill your entire closet with nice new clothes for just one dollar.
2. Diversity. Thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of items. There is nothing more to say.
3. Reliability. The rating system quickly sorts sellers by integrity, and goods by quality. Be careful and you will never be disappointed with your purchase.

The only disadvantage of buying clothes from Aliexpress is that you do not have the opportunity to try on the desired item. But don't worry - you won't have to play the lottery. Items are photographed and sometimes even videotaped by sellers and then by buyers. You almost always have the opportunity to take a closer look at a particular item and make sure that it suits you. And with sizes it’s even easier. Almost every seller places a universal size grid on their product page so that a buyer from anywhere in the world can make right choice. In 90% of cases, you can easily determine the size on Aliexpress for women and girls.

How to find out women's clothing size

Before buying clothes in an online store, it is advisable to take new measurements each time, since body shapes sometimes change completely imperceptibly. In addition, each store may have its own size table on Aliexpress with its own characteristics.

In most cases, four measurements are enough: chest, waist, hips. The chest circumference is measured at the most convex points. The hip circumference is measured in a similar way. Waist circumference is measured at the narrowest part of the body between the shoulders and pelvis. In some cases, additional measurements may be needed. For example, to determine your bra size, you need the girth under the bust.

When buying clothes in Asian sizes, you should take into account the features of the pattern. As a rule, with the same chest/hip circumference, the length of the sleeves/pants of clothes in Chinese sizes is several centimeters shorter.

If you are going to buy winter clothes, take measurements wearing a sweater and warm tights (socks, etc.). For other clothing, measurements are taken in underwear.

With these measurements you can determine clothing sizes on Aliexpress for women in most cases.

How to convert foreign sizes to Russian ones

Despite the fact that Aliexpress is an international store, sometimes Russian sizes are not available on the product page. But don't be embarrassed. We have prepared several tables for you that will help you convert Chinese, British and other unfamiliar sizes into convenient and familiar Russian ones. However, it doesn’t hurt to check with the seller each time whether a particular item will fit your measurements. Now that you know and understand the clothing sizes table for women, China with its ocean of cheap goods is waiting for you with open arms.

Due to differences in data, many of our fellow citizens have difficulty purchasing wardrobe items on Aliexpress or another similar portal. Don’t despair, tables of Chinese size designations will correctly show what to look for when ordering.

Symbols from the product description

One of the main problems of things ordered from the Middle Kingdom is the lack of the necessary language. Therefore, if specific signs are detected, you will need to decipher them:

How to use?

When selecting things, focus on three bases: chest, waist, hips. If you want to buy clothes with a closed cut, calculate the results of other parts of the body.

Methods for taking measurements for men, women and children

Data is collected according to the following principle:

• the bust is covered with a measuring tape in front, the collarbones in the back;
• for the waist: find the narrowest area of ​​the abdomen, measure near it;
• You need to take measurements from the hips in a volumetric place, circling around them;
• The neck circumference is necessary for choosing a suit wisely. To do this, add the resulting result by 2.54 centimeters;
• shoulders are measured from one end to the other;
• The spine begins at the bottom of the neck and ends at the tailbone.

In order for the numbers to be accurate, you need to remember the following rules:

• make sure that the centimeter is not subject to deformation;
• during measurements, press firmly onto the body part being measured;
• Before the procedure, you need to dress in tight-fitting clothes, straighten up, relax your arms, connect your heels to each other, move your socks away;
• Do not wear shoes during the height calculation. For best results, stand at the door.

How to find out your foot size:

• prepare a sheet of paper, without signatures or stains;
• mark the points as follows: one - near thumb, the second - next to the ankle;
• The width is determined by the circumference of the bones.

To guess the fullness of shoes, you need to calculate it using the formula:

W=0.25B-0.15C-A,

where W is a finite number, B is the thickness of the foot, C is length, A is constancy

Gender Length Volume A

Female 21-27 1-12 16

Male 24-30 1-12 17

Tables for women's clothing

Depending on the country of origin, all parameters are encrypted under letters or numbers. Sizes from China are measured by the first indicators, but with one caveat - they are small.

Bikini Standards Conformity Chart

For the summer season, you need to choose the perfect swimsuit. What measurements are taken:

1. To fit your chest, first put on a bra without special inserts or underwires. Maintain a royal posture, inhale, circle the bust with a measuring tape, finding protruding areas, go under the armpits and back.
2. Now we go down to the chest. Measure with the same instrument.
3. We reach the waist circumference. We try not to reduce the numbers deliberately.
4. We finish the procedure on the circumference of the hips. We check the ratio in officially recognized data.

“If the product description contains an intermediate value, and you know your exact results, order a size larger.”

Advice: what to consider when selecting things

Chinese and Russian standards differ significantly. How not to make a mistake:

• check with the seller what volumes are indicated in the product, since instead of the girths of the shapes, the ratio of the total width may be indicated;
• for those who buy “oversized”: this means size 44 or 46 by 165 centimeters. It is not recommended for taller ladies to take such things;
• 1 foot = 33.3 centimeters. Keep this in mind if you encounter this indicator;
• When ordering children's clothes, take two, or better yet three sizes larger. When the goods are delivered, the child may grow a lot;
• Women need to understand that the photos show the smallest indicator. Try on your own shape and soberly assess the importance of shopping.

“Chinese models are produced with small volumes and height. If your equipment does not correspond to these realities, then it is better to refuse clothes.”

Conclusion

Even after detailed definitions of Chinese clothing sizes translated into Russian, there is no 100% guarantee that the product will fit. Therefore, check with the seller in advance about all the specifics of the product and analyze it. That's when shopping will become a pleasant pleasure.

Many of us today order outfits online - indeed, it is convenient and fast, and much cheaper than buying them in stores in real life.

The only thing that causes great difficulty is the tables of size ratios women's clothing different countries(USA, China), European size range with Russian sizes. In this article you will find all the necessary information that will make it easy to buy foreign clothes and not make a mistake in your choice.

Women's clothing size chart China (Asian sizes)

We remember that the anthropometric parameters of women there are much smaller. ATTENTION! Click on the picture to enlarge it in size.

As can be seen from the above figures, the outfits sewn in the Middle Kingdom are much smaller. And if we consider 42 to be “our” size, then here it’s worth stopping at a confident 44 or even 46, especially when it comes to outerwear.

Despite the fact that the table helps to translate asian sizes in Russian, it is still worth reading customer reviews - they always contain information about the suitability of models.

When choosing a coat or jacket, tall girls who may have short sleeves. Here we should not forget about miniature oriental women and when making a purchase, be sure to take into account the length of your arm.

The same situation is with Chinese trousers and jeans - in order for them to fit well, we look first of all not at the size, but at the length of the legs.

American Women's Clothing Size Chart (US)

This is the case when Asian sizes are the very opposite of US women's clothing sizes, because on the contrary they will be oversized. Also click on the picture below to make it larger.

Girls who wear their “native” 46 should buy the 44th. However, if we are talking about a sweatshirt, a loose cardigan or any other oversized item, this is not so important. The loose shoulder line and lack of a clear shape ensures a beautiful fit, even if we missed the size.

European size chart for women's clothing

How to determine the Spanish, German or French size of women's clothing? For this purpose, there is a universal sizing system for tailoring.

Using the table below of European countries, you can determine compliance with French, Spanish, Italian, German and Polish brands. (Image clickable)

Using this table of women's clothing sizes, it will not be difficult to calculate the ratio of France and Russia or determine how Polish and Italian are correlated.

International sizes of women's clothing

Luckily, to avoid any confusion, there is an international size chart for women's clothing. It makes it easier to determine which one is right for you!

Now you know how to identify German, Italian, English, Chinese and American sizes and correlate them with Russian and Ukrainian ones. Yes, Ukrainian clothing sizes correspond to the same Russian ones, as well as Polish ones.

I wish you a good shopping and always successful purchases!

At first glance, it seems difficult to convert your standard size to Chinese and order the item you like. In fact, all you need to do is take measurements and use the information provided below.

Symbols from the product description

For each product, sellers create a table of sizes, but bad luck, in such tables there is no translation of hieroglyphs into Russian. Let's try to figure this out.

The most common characters that are used in schematic drawings and in size tables of Chinese clothing for specific products:

尺码 size;

胸围 chest girth;

腰围 waist circumference;

臀围 hip volume;

袖长 sleeve length;

肩宽 shoulder width;

全长 or 衣长 product length;

总长 total length;

length of trousers;

height;

大腿围 leg circumference near the hip;

裤裆 trouser fit distance (from the front waistband to the back waistband).

The presented designations can be seen on the clothing diagrams attached to the descriptions in the product cards. Approaching the calculation of the appropriate size for yourself in this way allows you to choose an item according to the exact parameters.

How to use?

Before you start online shopping, you need to take your basic measurements: chest, waist and hips. And also additional ones: the length of the back, arms and legs, shoulder width, etc. It will not be superfluous to find out in advance the parameters of the desired length, for example, a dress or skirt.

Having data on your sizes at hand, you need to compare the symbols with the table and select the appropriate product from it.

There are generally accepted sizes that you can also use as a guide. But please understand that they are approximate and there is no guarantee of 100% compliance.

It is worth considering that manufacturers sew things according to the standard standards of the local population, so styles that fit Asians perfectly may not suit Russian customers at all, even if the product parameters in centimeters fully correspond.

What to pay attention to

Some facts come as an unpleasant surprise for newcomers to online shopping, so it is advisable to consider the following in advance:

• Manufacturers sometimes indicate in the table not the circumference of the hips and chest, but the width of the product itself;
• size Free is not considered “sizeless”, as is commonly believed, in fact it is European S and M, with a height of 165 cm;
• one foot 尺 is equal to 33.33 cm, sometimes the parameters are indicated in feet;
• Children's clothes may run 2-3 sizes small.

When ordering women's clothing, it is important not only to choose the right size, but also to take a reasonable approach to assessing your figure. Typically, product photos show the smallest size option.

In addition, the physique of Asian models is characterized by a lack of curves, while Russian women, on the contrary, are not deprived of this.

Even parameters that are 100% appropriate may ultimately not meet the buyer’s expectations. The product will not look like the picture. Accordingly, this is not the fault of either the online store or the seller.

P Payback in Chinese online stores is akin to a lottery: it’s not easy to accurately guess the quality, delivery time, and even suitable sizes. However, low prices and a huge assortment encourage orders. And if the buyer cannot influence the quality and delivery time, then the ability to choose the right size comes with experience.

• TO Chinese sellers honestly warn: “Remember, we are smaller than Europeans.” And it’s not just about height, but also about the proportions of the figure. Sleeves and trousers are designed for shorter limbs, so they often look skimpy on long-legged and long-armed Europeans.
• N and Chinese sites often give as parameters the width of things in the area of ​​the chest or hips, and not the girth of these parts of the body on a person. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a larger size for a loose fit.
• INAll sizes are marked with letters: from S to XXXXXL. But you shouldn’t rely on your usual values. The “M” you usually wear may actually be an “XS”. China has its own ideas about “medium” and “large” sizes. Each time you need to check with dimensional grid seller.
• Z famous Chinese size“Free” does not mean “dimensionless”. Rather, it is the "single" size designed to fit European S-M and height up to 165 cm.
• L The prices of even the same item in different stores may differ. The surest way to choose the right size is to check the size chart on the page and consult with the seller.
• B Most Chinese trading platforms support an English-language interface, with which there are no problems with translation. If all the information is only in Chinese, then problems may arise. For example, if tables with sizes are presented in the form of pictures. In this case, an automatic translator will not help. You need to find a picture that shows the measurements and compare the inscriptions on it with the hieroglyphs in the names of the columns in the table.
• D Even on sites that work with Chinese buyers, all sizes are usually given in centimeters and are indicated by the numbers and letters “cm” that are familiar to us. If the character 尺 is next to the number, then Chinese feet are used. One foot is equal to a third of a meter, or 33.33 cm.

Women's sizes

Chinese clothing is designed for more fragile women, so it is usually worth choosing two sizes larger than usual.

Chinese size	Height, cm	Chest circumference, cm	Waist circumference, cm	Hip circumference, cm	International size	Russian size
S	155-160	82	70	78-82	XS	38
M	160-165	84	72	80-84	XS-S	40
L	165-170	92	76	82-86	S-M	42
XL	167-172	94	80	88-92	M-L	44
XXL	168-173	96	84	90-94	L-XL	46
XXXL	170-176	100	86	92-96	XXL	48

Men's sizes

When choosing clothes for men, you need to follow the same rules. Finding models for large and tall Russian men in Chinese online stores is not an easy task.

Chinese size	Height	Chest circumference	Waist circumference	Chinese pants size	International size
S	165-170	88-90	70-74	28
M	167-172	90-92	74-76	30	XS
L	168-173	92-94	76-80	32	S
XL	170-175	94-96	80-84	34	M
XXL	173-178	96-98	86-94	36	L
XXXL	175-180	98-100	94-98	38	XL

Children's sizes

Children's clothing is also marked with letters or a number indicating the age for which it is intended. But if up to 1 year you can rely on these values, then you definitely need to check the height and chest circumference of the child, since Chinese baby clothes can run 2-3 sizes too small.

Chinese size	Height	Chest circumference	Hip circumference	International size
0-3	50-56	43-45	45-47	0
