Men's clothing
When shopping online, we lose the main thing that attracts many people when purchasing goods in a store or, as it is fashionable to say, shopping, is the choice of a thing: the opportunity to feel the fabric from which it is made, try it on and finally understand whether it suits us or not. In the online store, we rely to some extent on intuition and the ability to choose based on the information provided by the seller.
We determine the size on AliExpress
Experienced AliExpress sellers are able not only to specify a specific size (for example, S, M or L), but also tell the client in more detail about the size charts of their products.
Inexperienced buyers should take into account the fact that the dimensions of the goods on AliExpress do not meet European standards.
The fact is that Asian women are small and rather thin, due to which the clothes of their PRC often do not fit in size, in other words, they run small. According to experienced AliExpress buyers, the true size differs by two. In practice, it looks like this:
The difference depends on the differences in the patterns - the standard girth of the chest, sleeves, legs and hips in Asian products is 2–5 cm shorter than in Europe.
AliExpress Size Chart
The data posted on the description page often contains several ways to determine the size - American, European and Chinese. Always read the table carefully!
The tabular and sent size do not always match - this is another nuance. To avoid excess, contact the seller and specify, based on the parameters, which size is right for you.
Before purchasing a product in IM, determine your main indicators:
- Breast volume.
- Waist.
- Hip volume.
- Shoulder width.
- Arm length (shoulder-wrist distance).
- Inner leg length.
- For the purchase of things with a collar - neck circumference.
- The total length of the product, based on what you have.
Large sizes on Aliexpress
Just as in the case of standard sizes, there may be subtle differences between Chinese large sizes. Often, with high demand, the seller tries to meet the needs of the client. To do this, the site offers clothes 4XL-10XL, comparable to our XL.
To search, enter in the query string: large-size, ladies fashion large sizes, extra large size plus size women’s, women big size, etc. Before ordering, contact the seller to clarify how the selected item fits your parameters.
The choice of clothing depends on the height of the child. Everything is simple here: 80, 90, 100, etc. - the growth of your child, and 2T, 3T, 4T, etc. - the size that depends on it.
The purchase of clothes on the Chinese marketplace Aliexpress, as in any online store, is associated with a certain risk of making a mistake with the size. AT this case the risk is due to the peculiarities of tailoring in Chinese factories and the parameters of the Asian dimensional grid. What to look for in order to determine the measurements of the dress correctly?
We study tables and measurements
For the convenience of making a purchase, use the version of the site. Search for information about the parameters of the selected model is on the product description page. Usually the size is indicated in the standard international letter designation: S, M, L, XL, etc. The buyer only needs to select the desired one by clicking the mouse when placing an order.
Even if you have detailed information, you should be careful: the measurements of different sellers may vary. This is due to two reasons:
- different Chinese manufacturers sew differently, many brands run small;
- The European size chart differs from the Asian one by 1-2 steps. Your European M on Aliexpress may be an Asian XL.
See the ratio in the table:
| Asia | Europe |
| S | XS |
| M | S |
| L | M |
| XL | L |
For the convenience of buyers, responsible sellers of the Aliexpress site indicate more detailed information about the features of the product. It can be given by reference.
But more often it is given after the main information about the product.
There can also be indicated the features of taking measurements.
Keep in mind that measurements are taken not from a person who has the same parameters as you, but from a thing. Therefore, it is wiser to measure one of your outfits and make a purchase according to these measurements. Sellers Note: 1-3cm measurement error is normal. To determine right size more precisely, you can get in touch with the seller and or ask him to choose the product in accordance with your measurements in the comments to the order.
When information is not enough
It happens that in the main product description on Aliexpress there is no size chart. In this case:
- Please read all information on this page carefully. Sometimes the length and width of the product are indicated in the description.
- If there are no buttons for automatically selecting the size of clothes, indicate the numbers you need in the comments to the order.
- Ask the seller in detail about the product, ask him to take measurements from the clothing model and send him your parameters.
Communication on Aliexpress takes place in English. If you don't own foreign language, use any of electronic translators. Don't worry, no one will criticize you for mistakes. The main thing is that the seller correctly understands the meaning of your appeal.
How to take measurements
To order a dress, depending on the model, the following measurements may be required:
- chest girth;
- waist circumference;
- hip girth;
- shoulder width;
- the length of the sleeve;
- length of the product.
For more confidence, pay attention to the reviews of customers who have already purchased the dress you like. From them you can find out a lot of reliable information about the features of the product: in particular, whether it corresponds to the declared parameters.
Buying a baby dress
The sizes of women's outfits are different from children's. Clothes for girls up to 2 years old are usually classified by age in months. At the same time, the age of the child may be indicated in the automatic dimension selection table, and the measurements corresponding to the age are already indicated in the description. Choosing an outfit for a baby, focusing solely on months, is very difficult: all children have different weights in infancy. If your child's parameters are closer to another age indicated in the table, it is better to focus on the parameters in centimeters and kilograms. And again, ask the seller for details.
Keep in mind that the parcel from China takes at least a month, during which time the baby can grow up quite a lot, and it is better to take clothes for growth.
For girls 2-8 years old, the parameters are usually indicated in accordance with the American system: 3T 4T 5T, 6, 7, 8, etc., where the numbers indicate the age of the child. From 8 to 16 years old, the designations S, M, L, XL are valid, which should not be confused with the letter designations of adult dimensions. The table shows the height and weight of the girl, which correspond to one or another digital and letter designation on the clothes.
Some lazy sellers indicate only the length of the product or the height of the child, meaning that the outfit is designed for a standard-sized girl. In this case, when deciding to place an order, describe your wishes in terms of size in the comments.
Knowing the details of trade in the Chinese clothing market, you can easily correctly determine and indicate in the order all the parameters of the purchased goods you need.

Chinese sizes on Aliexpress

Scroll down and look at the product description.
Usually sellers use the detailed size charts for Aliexpress women's clothing. , which include the following measurements: bust, waist and hip, shoulder width, sleeve length, product length. Sometimes there is a gradation in terms of height / weight.
How to determine your size for women's clothing
First you need to measure the circumference of the bust, waist and hips. Take a regular centimeter tape, for a more accurate measurement it is desirable that it be new. Here you may need the help of another person who will make sure that the tape is strictly horizontal when measured. If there is no assistant, it does not matter, take measurements in front of a mirror. 
- The circumference of the chest must be measured strictly horizontally along the protruding points of the chest around the body.
- The circumference of the waist / belt is measured without tightening it too much, along the waist line.
- Hip circumference: The measuring tape should go over the most protruding places of the buttocks.
- The hip circumference is the measurement of the bottom of the garment, whether it be a skirt or trousers. For example, if the volume of the hips is 96 cm, then the semi-circumference of the hips will be 48 cm, which corresponds to Russian size 46, or, based on the above table of Chinese sizes on Aliexpress for trousers, we get the 31st.
- Record your measurements, don't rely on memory alone.
- The measuring tape should ideally be rubberized and fit snugly to the body, sagging or overtightening should not be allowed.
- When measuring, you need to take a natural pose, without unnecessary tension. Stand straight and straight.
- On the body to put on a thin and light clothing Shorts and a T-shirt are perfect for this.
- To measure the sleeve length, bend your arm slightly at the elbow and measure the length from the middle of the neck to the wrist.
- To measure the length of the trousers, you need to attach a measuring tape from the beginning of the femur along the outside to the floor. Alternatively, you can measure the length of the pants that fit you perfectly. Please note that the height of the belt in the total length is not taken into account.
Tips for determining women's sizes on Aliexpress
So, we figured out how to measure our parameters, and we can safely proceed to? Do not hurry. There are several tricky tips that will help eliminate the possibility of error when determining the Chinese size on Aliexpress and get joy and a pleasant experience from the purchase.
- Always refer to the seller's size chart. The Chinese are quite creative in matching the dimensions and sew clothes not according to standard patterns, but according to their own. Add another 2-3 cm to the parameters indicated in the size grid, do not forget about the potential smallness of things.
- If you have a non-standard figure or you are in doubt about what size is right for you, ask the seller directly, telling him your parameters in a message. To do this, the site has a form "Contact the seller." If the store consultant is attentive and conscientious, he will definitely answer in a short time and help you make the right choice.
- Sometimes the indicated size of a thing determines only its length. For example, a maxi skirt has a waist circumference of 65-75 cm throughout the table, and the size range is indicated by the letters S, M, L, XL, which determine the length. Here the most important parameter will be your height.
- Read
BUT there is my golden rule: use the measurement tables and dimensional grids given by the seller in the description of each product and read the comments and reviews of your fellow citizens under the products (easily identified by the language of writing and the flag of the country). The more stars and orders from the seller, the better (determined in the picture below), and if there are comments and reviews below under the product of real buyers along with a photo, then you can safely order! If in doubt, then proven way is to contact the seller directly and ask for the information you are interested in. For communication, I used Google translator, in which the Russian language is well translated into international English (USA), and there were no big problems in understanding (tip: build simple sentences for communication).
Chinese sellers usually indicate dimensions in the form of letters, see below in the figure:
*i: Click on the picture to enlarge.
Designation: Translation:
XXL (extra extra large) simply huge.
XL ( extra large ) is considered very large.
L ( large )- big.
M (medium) - medium.
S (small) - small.
XS (extra small) - very small.
Before looking at the rest of the tables for measuring clothes and shoes, you should familiarize yourself with the small subtleties of the designation, for example, the Roman numeral X is added to the large sizes on the parting and, accordingly, the more they are in front of those, your size will increase in arithmetic progression. XXL is larger than XL and XXXL is larger than XXL and so on. It happens so that not to fence X, they are simply replaced with 5XL, 6XL, 7XL, I noticed this with sellers selling large sizes of dresses, shirts, shirts, trousers, that is, they specialize in stores for curvaceous and full forms. And usually special words are indicated in the description: fat women big size, large-size extra large, plus size womens, ladies fashion large sizes, their meaning is easy to understand, for example big size- translated as very big size. It should be noted that the brothers of the Chinese nation are usually thin and short, so on the site ru. aliexpress.com, you will often meet a small size.
English words and designations that may come in handy when communicating with the seller: shoulder (shoulder width), sleeve (arm length is the distance from the shoulder to the wrist), chest / bust (chest volume), waist (waist), hips (hips) , neck (neck circumference for collared jackets and blouses).
It may be that the designations are in great Chinese, but this will not be a problem either. Use the picture below.
But before looking at the comparison tables, first measure yourself, as the way of measuring for men and women is different, look at the pictures below.
