At first glance, it seems that it is difficult to translate your generally accepted size into Chinese and order the thing you like. In fact, it is enough to take measurements and use the information below.

Symbols from the product description

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

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

尺码 size;

胸围 bust;

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 overall length;

裤长 pants length;

身高 growth;

大腿围 leg circumference near the thigh;

裤裆 pants fit distance (from front waistband to back waistband).

The presented designations can be seen on the clothing diagrams attached to the description in the product cards. The approach to calculating the size suitable for yourself in this way allows you to choose a thing according to the exact parameters.

How to use?

Before you go online shopping, you need to take your basic measurements: chest, waist and hips. As well as additional ones: the length of the back, arms and legs, the width of the shoulders, etc. It will not be superfluous to know in advance the parameters of the desired length, for example, dresses or skirts.

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

There are also generally accepted sizes, by which you can also navigate. But it should be understood that they are approximate, and there is no guarantee of 100% compliance.

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

What to look out for

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

• manufacturers sometimes indicate in the table not the girth of the hips and chest, but the width of the product itself;
• the Free size is not considered "dimensionless", as is commonly believed, in fact it is a 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 things can run small by 2-3 sizes.

When ordering women's clothing, it is important not only to choose the right size, but also to reasonably evaluate your figure. As a rule, product photos show the smallest version of the size.

In addition, the physique of Asian models is characterized by the absence of forms, and Russian women, on the contrary, are not deprived of this.

Even parameters corresponding to 100% may not meet the buyer's expectations in the end. The product will not look like the picture. Accordingly, this is not the fault of either the online store or the seller.

Despite all the circumstances, the most popular places for online shopping are foreign online boutiques, which repeatedly offer not only a good choice, interesting offers, but also pleasant financial surprises. However, each buyer, making the first order of clothes, is disappointed: the size indicated in the product description is several times smaller than the Russian one. The material below will help potential buyers navigate the features of European and Asian sizes.

Each lot has a description of its dimensions, girth and length. In practice, these data are indicated either in inches or in centimeters. The following designations are generally accepted: L, M, S and XS. If a person avoids the mass market, preferring a domestic manufacturer, here he needs to navigate in accordance with American and Russian sizes, since this is relevant and necessary for practicing online shopping.

Size Information

Russian indicators are displayed in centimeters. They are of two kinds. If the chest circumference is 92 cm, you must choose clothes on which the tag displays 46 (you need to divide 92 by 2, it turns out 46). American labels, like most European labels, use the following letters L, M and S, using the addition in the form of an X prefix (eXtra). There are the following attachments: eXtra eXtra Large (XXL) — eXtra Large (XL)- Large (L)- Medium (M)- Small (S)- eXtra Small (XS)- etc. For all letter designations there are Russian equivalents. So, for example, L - size 48, M - size 46, S - size 44, and then by analogy.

However, there are also European clothing brands, where numbers are used instead of letters ( 40, 38, 36 etc.), which is initially confusing, since most people try to use data that is very familiar to them. At this stage, surprise arises, then the thing does not sit well, and sometimes it hangs frankly. The bottom line is that Russian and European sizes differ from each other within six positions. It is necessary to add the number +6 to the indicated numbers on the tag. In the end - the desired result. For example, euro 36 - Russian 42.

Russian size	US size	European size

This was an introductory part, and now in more detail about the realities of the Asian market.

Asian realities

A necessary attribute in the work is a ruler, as well as a wardrobe item from everyday life. Data on measurements of the length of a dress, T-shirt, trousers must be recorded in a notebook. This is necessary in order to know the length of the planned order.

Usually in the product description there is a detailed Asian table with sizes. Working with it, you can decide on the final result. It is advisable to convert measurements to inches. Here are the details for the translation: 1 inch - about 2.5 cm. It is advisable to order one size larger, since the clothes can be hemmed, sometimes they stretch themselves.

Asian Clothing Size Chart

If there is no such table, a choice of sizes of the desired product is offered. These are the dimensions L, M and S. Communicating with the seller, it is advisable to find out what size - Chinese or American. You need to know exactly what Asian designations, in general, are always 1-2 sizes smaller than the usual American ones.

The ratio of American and Asian sizes

You need to know that there are differences in buying shoes. Very often foreign designations are used (7,6,5, etc.). The most popular large women's size is 39. That category of people who have a size of 41-40, unfortunately, has nothing to do on Chinese sites. The situation for men is more promising.

Shoe sizes

What is good to navigate in their size, they just need to be written down, not forgetting about the different number systems. It does not take much time, however, it helps to navigate well in online and offline shopping, especially overseas.

Shoe sizes in different countries

Usually men and women use a ring size matching table. The choice of jewelry on American sites is really amazing, and finding an engagement ring there, for example, is a good enough idea. You can read how to buy a ring online without trying it on.

Underwater rocks

Now let's talk a little about the tricks. Let's start with regular, or one size, which is especially common when buying underwear or hosiery. One size is the usual characteristics of an Asian girl. That is, it is always either XS or, at best, S. In terms of tights, size 2 or 3 (that is, not for long-legged beauties). The only option for those who do not fit the Chinese notion of standard is to look for products with an elastic band. For instance, regular size leggings are also suitable for girls of size 46 and 48 without any problems. As you can see, all is not lost!

And finally, every lover of online shopping needs to be aware of the catch, which is almost impossible to predict. About careless sellers. This rarely happens, but it does happen. You may receive several items that are not what you ordered. Since your size, for example, ran out of stock, and the seller decided, without warning, to send you what is left - most often very small sizes. In this case, do not hesitate to open disputes and demand your money back!

Well, we, in turn, will always try to provide you with useful information and orient you in the world of foreign online shopping. Happy shopping!

Chinese clothing sizes are slightly different from Russian parameters, so many buyers have difficulty choosing a size. For each product on the site, a dimensional grid is provided, with which you can choose the size, but the parameters indicated in it do not always correspond exactly to reality. Chinese sizes are indicated according to the standard system, but due to differences in the parameter they differ by size, which is why it can be difficult to determine the exact Russian size according to the Chinese dimensional grid. For each type of clothing on the site there is a universal dimensional grid, which indicates the parameters for a certain category of goods, and there is also a table that presents exact measurements from the manufacturer. If there are differences in the parameters, then they are usually insignificant and amount to a few centimeters, but they are enough for the item to be in size, so most often buyers have to take a size larger on the Chinese site than they usually wear. You can accurately determine the size with the help of the seller, who will tell you which size is best for your parameters.

It is noteworthy that the small sizes of XS-S clothes usually correspond to the description and those buyers who wear these sizes can take them to Aliexpress, and they will fit. But as for the sizes M-L, they can just run small, which is why you first need to check the measurements with the seller. Among the features of choosing a size, it should be noted that outerwear usually corresponds to the size grid, but measurements of jeans, trousers and shorts must first be checked with the seller before placing an order. We will talk further about how to choose a Russian size according to Chinese standards.

Russians, since most clothing manufacturers use standard measurements for Chinese clothing, which are smaller in physique than residents of the CIS countries. Because of this, the same size will fit the Chinese perfectly, and the Russian will be small, which is why the dilemma always arises, how to choose the right size on the Chinese site. There is always a size chart on the page with clothes and shoes, which allows you to choose clothes according to the main parameters. Due to manual measurement, there is always a 2-3 cm difference from the actual size. If you don’t know that the clothes on the site are small, you can really choose the wrong size, so in addition to the size table on the site, the size grid from Aliexpress can be presented, where key measurements are indicated for all categories of clothing to which the product belongs. If there is only this table for choosing the size of a thing, then the clothes are factory-made in China and you can immediately focus on the fact that they are small and take one size larger.

For each category of clothing on Aliexpress, there are recommendations on how to accurately measure the sizes. This instruction may appear in the Sizing info section or in the size chart below the description. Before buying clothes, you need to measure the volumes, which are the main ones for choosing the size. For each category of clothing, these measurements are different, so you need to look at the table where and what you need to measure in order to accurately determine the size.

The size table on Aliexpress for a thing indicates the fruit with a description, which may also contain recommendations on how to measure the size correctly. If the size is small, then there is always a note next to the table, which indicates that the size may not correspond and you need to take measurements and compare them with the table before choosing a size. Asian size only meets the standards in sizes XS-S, and narrower, the larger the size, the smaller it can fit the size grid. Different measurement methods are used to determine the size, most often manually, because of this, the difference in size can be 2-3 cm, so check with the seller for actual measurements before ordering.

How to translate Chinese sizes into Russian?

Clothing sizes on Aliexpress are indicated according to the international system, so there should not be any particular difficulties in how to translate the Chinese size into Russian. But the use of the international system can be misleading, since the actual measurements differ, therefore, when choosing a size, it is better to focus not on the size itself, but on the parameters that correspond to it. Using the standard size system S, M, L, etc. can be misleading because these sizes do not correspond to European ones and are standard one size smaller. This is largely due to the physique of Asians, who are shorter, have less pronounced bust and hip parameters, and mostly wear XS-S sizes. It is not worth translating Chinese sizes into Russian ones, because in fact they are different sizes. It is better to go by measurements or just take a size larger than you usually wear. The problem is that there is no single classification of sizes and any system is presented, roughly speaking, by eye. The best solution when choosing a size is to use an approximate system of sizes and their equivalents, where Russian sizes correspond to Chinese sizes with Aliexpress:

• XS - size 38 - fits the parameters: chest 74-82 cm, waist 57-62 cm, hips 81-86 cm. Height is not higher than 162 cm. For Russian size - this is a teenager.
• S - 40 size - fits the parameters: chest 76-88 cm, waist 60-65 cm, hips 85-90 cm. Height up to 167 cm. Russian size corresponds to XS.
• M - 40-42 size - suitable for parameters: chest 86-91 cm, waist 64-69 cm, hips 88-92 cm. Height up to 172 cm. Russian size corresponds to S, incomplete M.
• L - 42 full - fits the parameters: chest 87-93 cm, waist 66-71 cm, hips 90-95 cm. Height up to 175 cm. Russian size corresponds to M.
• XL - 42-44 - fits the parameters: chest 92-98 cm, waist 70-78 cm, hips 93-99 cm. Height up to 177 cm. Russian size corresponds to L.

Clothing parameters do not have to exactly match the sizes. The size largely depends on the material and its density. If a thing is made of thin material, then most likely it will be too tight and such models need to be taken so that they are free. Aliexpress has a lot of things in one size. Size 40-42 corresponds to such things, but, of course, they are better suited for 40. When choosing oversized clothes, it must be borne in mind that the parameters must be 5 cm larger than yours in order for the thing to fit as it should. It is not advisable to translate Chinese parameters into Russian ones, if only because the measurements are taken manually, and all the data indicated in the size table are indicative. Usually the Chinese do not have such that several sizes correspond to one size at once, as we usually are used to choosing clothes, so it will be either full or small. Much when choosing a size depends on the fit of the thing. When buying shirts, jackets or jackets, you need to be guided so that the sleeve is the correct length, and the shoulder line corresponds to its extreme point. Before buying any clothes, you need to measure all the parameters. which are key for this model, and then compare them with the size table.

Chinese sizes are tricky. Many non-China stores have recently appeared on Aliexpress, so tailoring has become more consistent with the size. However, Chinese sizes and Russian sizes are two different sizes, and to be sure not to make a mistake when choosing clothes, always count on taking a size up, at least. If you are not sure about the size, it is better to proceed as follows: choose one of the sizes and ask the seller to take measurements of key parameters using a measuring tape and send you a photo. In this case, you can get the most accurate measurements and choose the optimal size.

Women's sizes on Aliexpress

The differences in women's sizes on Aliexpress are one or two sizes, which depends on the physique, volume, height, weight and other parameters. Asian women are very fragile and short in stature. They do not differ in particularly curvaceous forms, so things are usually either wide or too tight, since they have nothing to emphasize. Russian women, on the contrary, have wide hips, protruding breasts, and look bigger against the background of miniature Asian women. Therefore, women's sizes on Aliexpress are therefore always smaller than European ones, and no matter what size is indicated there, if you wear it in life, then buy on Aliexpress a size larger, at least. The table with parameters is indicated on the page with the item, under the description block. If there are any features of the choice of size or differences in measurements, then the note will contain information on how to choose the right size correctly and not make a mistake with the choice. Most often, women's sizes on Aliexpress are indicated as follows:

• for outerwear, dresses, T-shirts, blouses, shirts, sizes are presented according to the international system: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, etc.;
• for jeans, trousers and shorts: 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, etc.;
• T-shirts, T-shirts: one size XS-M;
• down jackets, jackets, parkas: 40, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 50, etc.

Depending on the store, sizes may vary, but most often international standards XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, etc. are used to designate women's clothing. Given that they are small by Russian standards, all sizes are one less than necessary, respectively, the sizes of women's clothing should be counted on one more than what you usually buy. In the dimensional grid, in addition to measurements, equivalent sizes can be indicated, more precisely, which ones correspond to them. If they are missing, then it is better to focus on the parameters or ask the seller to help with the choice.

Sizes of men's clothing on Aliexpress

Men's sizes on Aliexpress are indicated according to the international dimensional grid S, M, L, etc. Unlike Asian sizes, Russians are significantly larger, despite the fact that they use a single naming system. Russian sizes are 1.5-2 sizes larger than Asian ones, especially when choosing shirts, jackets and jackets, for which, in addition to size, sleeve length and fit on the shoulders are of great importance. The sizes of men's clothing on Aliexpress are indicated on the product page for each item. In order for buyers to decide on the size, notes are indicated next to the measurements that the table does not indicate standard European sizes, but Asian ones, which are consistently one size different in parameters. Since clothes are measured by hand, a difference of 1-3 cm in the parameters can significantly affect the size.

When choosing the size of men's clothing, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the material. If the fabric does not differ in density, then the item, taken in size, will be very tight. Please note that most menswear measurements are taken in inches. In order to determine the exact size, you need to multiply the table parameters by 0.39 and round. If in doubt about the size, write to the seller. to help him pick it up. Despite the fact that most things from Aliexpress are indicated with sizes and parameters, additional measurements, such as height and weight, may be indicated on the clothing page. They are subjective, but should also be considered when choosing a size. Since Asians are shorter, when choosing jeans or trousers, you run the risk of buying a short item if you do not pay attention to these parameters.

Size chart of children's clothes on Aliexpress

Children's clothing on Aliexpress is presented for kids of all ages: from infants to teenagers. Of course, a lot when choosing the size of children's clothing does not depend on the size itself, in fact, but on the parameters of the child. To choose the size, the height and weight of the baby are decisive, and given that children grow very quickly, it becomes even more difficult to choose the size of children's clothing on Aliexpress. The size table for children's clothing on Aliexpress is located under the description. Children's sizes differ from the designation for adults, due to the different metric systems that are used. Children's clothing on the site is marked with sizes from 3T to 11T. Depending on the age of the child, the site has 2 categories of children's clothing: for the smallest and children from three years old. If your child is in the first age category, then all sizes are universal and, according to the size designation of the site, they correspond to 2T, for the age of 1-2 years. Starting from 3 years old, children are wearing size 3T, where each age corresponds to a certain size. In this case, the sizes are usually not small, unless, of course, your baby is developing faster than their peers. The size table for children's clothing on Aliexpress contains the values ​​​​of the main measurements, as well as height and weight parameters.

For children over 11 years old, a different size grid is used from 12 to 20 sizes. Further, the designation of sizes usually goes in two sizes 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-19 and 20, or one at a time, depending on the style of the item. Dimensional grids for children's things are indicated either under the description or in the sizing info. Usually the table from the manufacturer seems very incomprehensible, therefore, if there is sizing info, then it is better to use this dimensional grid, it is clearer. In principle, in the size chart of children's clothing, all parameters are indicated exactly, so there should be no problems with choosing the size. If you are not sure about the choice of size, check with the seller.

How to choose clothes by size?

Despite the fact that Aliexpress has a size chart for all things and it contains parameters by which, in principle, you can choose the size of clothes, still many buyers are faced with the problem that it is difficult to choose clothes according to size only according to the table. For this, there are other recommendations that you can use to determine the size. The first thing to do if you have any doubts about how to choose clothes by size is to contact the seller. He is obliged to help you choose the right size, or at least advise which one is better to take. To do this, you can contact the seller through "Write a message" or find the "Message to the seller" button in the "Contact the seller" column. In this case, the seller will help with the choice of size, and you will definitely not go wrong with it.

Size table for women's shoes on Aliexpress

Women's shoes on Aliexpress are indicated in sizes according to the American system, therefore, instead of the usual 35, the site indicates 4, which misleads some customers. In fact, choosing a shoe size on Aliexpress is much easier than choosing clothes. This is due to the fact that the shoe sizes are standard and it is rare that the foot has an undersized size. In order to be able to easily determine the size of the foot, it is necessary to measure the length of the foot and compare the resulting value with the size table. Each US size in the table is given a corresponding foot length in centimeters, as well as an equivalent in the European sizing system. The size table for women's shoes on Aliexpress is usually indicated under the description, but you can also use the size grid that is indicated in the sizing info.

The peculiarity of choosing a shoe size on Aliexpress is that. that if the foot is wide, the instep is too high or there are any features of the foot, then you need to take one size more. Also, before choosing a size, you should check with the seller if the shoes are small or not. Often Chinese shoes are one size smaller, which is why size 37 corresponds to size 38 and so on. According to the size table for women's shoes, determining the appropriate size is not a problem, the only thing is to read customer reviews about whether it fit them or not. If you have difficulty choosing the size, please contact the seller.

Children's shoes on Aliexpress

There are 2 types of children's shoes on Aliexpress: for newborns and children up to a year old, as well as for children over a year old. The sizes of children's shoes on Aliexpress have a standard size grid from 1 to 10 and sizes by age, for example, from 0 to 6 months, from 7 to 12, etc. In the first case, the size grid corresponds to sizes from 20 to 30, and in the second case, you need to select the size of children's shoes according to the length of the foot. Children's shoes on Aliexpress are presented in a large selection of different models for the smallest children and teenagers. Shoes for children on Aliexpress need to be selected according to the length of the foot, since the parameters indicated in the table may be slightly inaccurate. It is especially difficult to choose the size if the leg has not yet grown to full size. In this case, it is better to take the one that is larger.

On the site, you can easily choose the size according to the size grid, since for each size its correspondence according to the European size system is indicated and the exact length of the foot is written. Children's shoes correspond to the table, so you can safely choose the size according to it. Many sellers recommend measuring the size of a child's foot, add one centimeter to this value and this value will be a convenient size for the child. Also, keep in mind that while you order shoes from China, and they arrive, the child's foot may grow and then the selected size will be small. Also keep in mind that you need to wear a sock under the shoes, so always focus on the size a little bit with a margin. If you are not sure about the size, we recommend that you contact the seller.

Men's shoe sizes on Aliexpress

Men's shoe sizes on Aliexpress are indicated according to the American system, therefore, in principle, you need to select the size according to the same principle as women's shoes.

In order to choose men's shoes, you need to measure the length of the foot and compare the value with the size grid. If the foot is wide, then you need to take a size larger. If the shoes run small, then you should also take a size larger. Before choosing a size, ask the seller about the size. If he says that you need to take more, then immediately count on +1 size. Men's shoe sizes on Aliexpress are small in half the cases, so choose the size carefully so as not to be mistaken.

Before buying shoes, be sure to read customer reviews. If there are any features of the choice of size, you will definitely find recommendations from buyers about this. Also, contact the seller to select the size.

Chinese sizes on Aliexpress

Clothes with Aliexpress have a lot of nuances, therefore, when choosing a size, you must definitely take into account that Asian sizes are slightly smaller than Russian ones and that you should always measure the parameters before choosing it and placing an order. Chinese sizes on Aliexpress are smaller only due to the fact that there is a difference between the standards of Asian and European sizes. Despite this, you can always find your size and choose the right option, since the site has a fairly large range of sizes. If you still have questions about how to select Chinese sizes on Aliexpress, we recommend that you look at the guide

You almost always have the opportunity to consider a specific thing as much as possible and make sure that it suits you. And the size is 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 the right choice. In 90% of cases, you can easily determine the size on Aliexpress for women and girls.

How to find out the size of women's clothing

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

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

When buying clothes in Asian size, it is worth considering the features of the pattern. As a rule, with the same chest/hip circumference, the length of the sleeves/trousers of Chinese size clothes is a few centimeters shorter.

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

With these measurements, you will be able to determine the size of clothes on Aliexpress for women in most cases.

How to convert foreign size to Russian

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

Chinese characters scare away buyers. The inhabitants of this nation differ from Europeans in height, chest volume and shoulder width. BUT! When ordering, there is nothing complicated - you only need to make accurate measurements and compare them with the information below.

Deciphering Chinese characters in the product description

For each product, sellers and representatives of online stores provide a detailed table of the sizes of the product being sold, whether it is a bathrobe or a bathrobe, but there is no translation into Russian! Let's take a closer look.

Below is a detailed transcript of the size chart with Chinese characters for specific products, it can be displayed both in tables and in schematic drawings.

尺码 - size;

胸围 - chest girth;

腰围 - waist circumference;

臀围 - volume of the hips;

袖长 - sleeve length;

肩宽 - shoulder width;

全长 or 衣长 - product length;

总长 - total length;

裤长 - pants length;

身高 - growth;

体重 - weight;

大腿围 - circumference of the leg near the thigh;

裤裆 - pants fit distance (from waistband in front to waistband in back).

Each product card must contain the designation of the clothing scheme (this applies to all stores, but not all exhibit it), followed by a description. When the presence of a detailed diagram, you can buy an item of clothing according to the exact parameters.

How to use

Before you go to a site where clothing sizes are indicated by hieroglyphs, you should once again measure your body parameters. Close attention requires paying attention to the volume of the chest (girls), waist and pelvic area, as well as to men and in some cases women: measure the length of the back, the full size of the arms. When a girl is going to order a dress, she must accurately determine its length.

When there is accurate body data, you can “not get lost” according to the Chinese table and order the exact size of clothes.

Each client must understand that the main number of clothes is produced according to the generally accepted "model" parameters - you can focus on them, but ordering goods according to such sizes there is no guarantee of its compliance.

It is easier for a manufacturing plant to produce products off the assembly line by standard standards. If adornments (jewelry) on an adhesive basis are located on the fabric, if the size does not match, the fabric will stretch, they will fall off after the first wash.
