How to choose the right Chinese size

If we brought you exactly the size you ordered, you cannot refuse and get a full refund - so when choosing clothes you need to pay special attention to the size.

If the size of clothing or shoes from your order does not suit you, you can receive 50% of its value credited to your account if you re-order the same item in the correct size. To do this, you need to write to the site support the number and position of the unsuitable item and the position number of the reordered item.

The most accurate way to determine size is to look for size charts in the specific product description.

The tables contain measurements of the things themselves, not human measurements! This means you need to take your item, measure it and compare the data obtained with the tabular ones.

For example, you choose a jacket. Take your jacket, measure it and compare what you get with the table in the product description. The same should be done with any other clothing.

Often, information about sizes is uploaded by the seller in the form of a picture, which does not allow automatic translation of the specified information. To make it easier for you to decide in such cases, you can find and click the “Show sizes” button on the left - a list of size translations will open and you can find which hieroglyphs correspond to what. See the example below:

Sometimes you may come across a "one size fits all". Most often this applies to hosiery, bodysuits, overalls, negligees, panties, dresses, etc. The items themselves are often made of stretchy material. This size corresponds to sizes "S" and "M" and is suitable for height 155-170 cm and weight 45-70 kg.

Sometimes you may see options like this in the size selection:

Jing is a Chinese unit of weight, it is equal to 0.5 kg, i.e. for this jacket, the size is selected according to the person’s weight in jins, for example, 80-115 jins is 40-57.5 kg.

Now you know what Jin is or “斤” in Chinese and you can come across the following tables:

where horizontally (the hieroglyph “体重” - “Body weight”) indicates the person’s weight multiplied by 2, and vertically (the hieroglyph “身高”) - height in cm. For example, according to this table for a person with a height of 180 cm and weight 80 kg. You need to choose size "M".

We also suggest using the following pictures. Print or save these pictures:

Dimensions in feet and yards

Very often, values in Chinese size charts are presented in feet or yards.

1 foot = 33.33333 cm

Below is a table converting feet and yards to centimeters

26	yards 码	1,9	futa	63,3	cm
27	yards 码	2	futa	66,6	cm

Children's clothing sizes on Aliexpress

The sizes of children's clothing on Aliexpress are indicated either for a specific age or by size. If you are looking for clothes for a child under two years old, then you need to choose the category of children's clothing up to 24 months, because then there is a different size measurement system. If you saw, for example, 3M in size, then the letter M corresponds to months. It may not be placed next to age, but will only be indicated as 3-6 or 7-10, depending on the manufacturer and labeling of the clothing. Starting from the age of two, clothes for children are marked according to the American size grid, that is, 2T. The size is calculated as follows: for 2 years - 2T, for 3 years - 3T, for 4-5 - 4T, 6-7 - 5T, etc. Sizes may differ for each age, for example, the size under the same number will correspond, but the sizes of children's clothing on Aliexpress, like adults, need to be selected not by size, but by parameters. Clothes for children on Aliexpress are mixed into a single category, although the site sells items for both newborns and teenagers. There should not be any particular difficulties with choosing the size of children's clothing, because things should always be ordered with a reserve, that is, at least one size smaller, so look at what measurements are indicated in the table and, based on the measurements, select the appropriate size.

The sizes of children's clothing on Aliexpress usually correspond to age, height or weight, but these measurements are not always accurate, especially since Asian children are slightly smaller in build than Russians and it turns out that for every two Chinese sizes there is one full-size Russian. If there is no letter “T” next to the size, it does not matter; the marking of clothing sizes is the same for all manufacturers, that is, American. Always assume that you need to take a size larger than the table data, or even two, if your child has non-standard sizes for his age. To be sure, you can check with the seller what size of clothes to buy for your child.

Correspondence of Chinese clothing sizes to Russian sizes

Table 3 shows the correspondence between Chinese sizes and Russian and international sizes. But it must be said that there is no single standard for the ratio of Chinese clothing sizes to Russian (and international) sizes. Most often, Chinese clothing manufacturers use their own size tables . Therefore, in order not to make a mistake in the Chinese size, you must measure yourself .

Table 3. Correspondence of clothing sizes (Russia-China-international)

China	S	M	L	XL	XXL	XXXL
Russia	42	44	46	48	50	52
International	XS	S	M	L	XL	XXL

To make more accurate measurements you need to know a few simple rules .

Never use a stretched measuring tape.
The tape should not sag during measurements.
The person from whom measurements are taken must be dressed in tight-fitting clothing or underwear, posture must be straight, arms down, heels together, toes apart.
Height is measured without shoes; more accurate measurements will be obtained at the door frame.
Paired dimensional parameters are always determined on the right side.

There is another interesting point - these clothes are completely without size. In Europe, such clothes are called “free sizes” - clothes for people who are not thin and not fat, not short and not tall. These are sizes SM . Usually these are clothes made from inexpensive knitwear - T-shirts, jackets, blouses, dresses.

How to take measurements correctly?

The waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point, the chest circumference at the most protruding points (the tape should pass exactly along the line of the shoulder blades). The hips are also measured at their widest point (remember that the centimeter should be parallel to the floor). To measure the length of your foot, you will need a regular A4 sheet of paper: you need to stand on it with your foot and mark with a pencil the most protruding points in front and behind. Then measure the length with a measuring tape.

Underwear sizes on Aliexpress

Lingerie on Aliexpress is beautiful and inexpensive, so buying a set on the site is profitable in every way. Not all women know the size of their underwear, and when it comes to choosing a size on a Chinese website, many questions arise, as a result of which the purchase is postponed indefinitely. In fact, the sizes of underwear on Aliexpress exactly correspond to the international system and, if you intend to buy underwear on the site, you can start measuring the parameters to select the size. Lingerie on the site is sold both in sets and separately, but the parameters for choosing sizes are different. The panties on the website have sizes from XS to 6XL, but unlike the parameters that correspond to Russian sizes, the panties from Aliexpress run a little small. In order not to make a mistake with the size, you need to measure the volume of your hips at the protruding point and compare it with the table on the page with underwear. Whatever volume corresponds, then take the size. It usually turns out that M is suitable for S, and L is suitable for M, but it is better to look at the measurements.

With bras, things are more complicated. To select a size, you need to determine 3 values: bust volume, underbust volume and cup size. To select a size, you only need the values of the circumference under the bust and the cup, but you can determine the second value by subtracting the circumference under the bust from the volume of the bust. The resulting difference is the cup size. Measurements should be taken as shown in the table. The obtained parameters must be compared with the dimensional grid. As for bras, their sizes usually fully correspond to the parameters in the table. If you have any difficulties choosing a size, write to the seller.

If you choose a set, then on the page with underwear there must be two size grids: one for panties, the other for a bra. Also, when placing an order, sizes are indicated in American measurements. The parameter table should indicate equivalents, so look at what value your size corresponds to and select the panty and bra size separately when placing your order.

Men's pants: offers from the Aliexpress platform

The variety of male models presented on Aliexpress is simply amazing. Here you can buy classic trousers, cropped trousers, thin trousers, warm trousers and denim trousers. On the pages of the trading platform you can choose men's trousers from a variety of brands. Very often, companies offering interesting and high-quality models of pants announce sales and set favorable discounts. In general, it is impossible to remain without a purchase after visiting this site. But to ensure that the purchased model does not disappoint after delivery, you should pay special attention to the selection of the size.

The principle of action in this case is quite simple:

Study the information provided in the product card.
Read reviews left by other customers.
Take the correspondence table and compare the size indicated by the seller with the one you buy in stores in your city.
View product photos. Often sellers indicate the size in centimeters in the images.
Following all the rules, take your measurements.
Compare them with the data provided by the seller.

This way you will understand how to choose the size of pants on Aliexpress so that they fit perfectly on your figure.

Size chart on Aliexpress video

Clothing from Aliexpress is popular among buyers around the world. It is cheap, looks high quality and is indistinguishable from branded clothing. When choosing a size, you should look more at the measurements, rather than at the size that corresponds to them. Clothing on a Chinese website often runs small in Russian sizes, so you need to choose it according to the table, reviews and advice from the seller. If you are in doubt about choosing a clothing size or are not sure that the clothing parameters correspond to the table, we recommend watching a video on the topic of how to use the size chart on Aliexpress:

Table of correspondence between international and Russian sizes. Right up to the biggest ones.

It happens that sellers also use international standards to indicate clothing sizes, although this is rare.

Size, Russia	International standard	Chest circumference, cm	Waist circumference, cm	Hip circumference, cm	Sleeve length, cm

Well, remember that Chinese things are small, and the sizes may well differ by a couple of centimeters. By the way, almost all sellers on Aliexpress warn about this.

Men's clothing sizes on Aliexpress

The sizes of men's clothing on Aliexpress generally do not correspond to the parameters of an adult Russian man. With this in mind, you should always take one or two sizes larger, depending on the volume. Always take height and weight into account. The same size according to different measurement systems and from different manufacturers will have different parameters throughout, so for an adult man who usually buys things in size M, size M will be small on a Chinese website. Despite the fact that the sizes of men's clothing on Aliexpress are indicated according to the international classification, things are still sewn according to Asian standards and are at least 5 centimeters smaller in all respects. When choosing a size, be sure to check its suitability, measurements and parameters with the seller, otherwise you will not be able to choose the item by size. If there are reviews about the product, then you can read recommendations for choosing a size from customers, where users usually write what height/weight/volume they chose the size for.

It’s impossible to say unequivocally that all the men’s clothes on the site are small, because in addition to Chinese stores, many shops from Europe and even Russian malls have opened on Aliexpress. Men's clothes are rarely sewn very tight, so even if the item is half a size larger, this will not create any particular problem. You can avoid making a mistake when choosing a size if you look at the size chart, compare your volumes with the parameters in it and use the recommendations in the reviews. If you are not sure that you have chosen the right size, you can ask the seller for advice.
