Frequently Asked Questions
Different clothing brands use different conversions between US/UK/EU sizes, so it’s difficult to give you a conversion chart that fits all situations. However, if you are looking for a particular size we can help you find the size for each brand. Please contact us with the item you are looking for and let us know what size you need.
There is no universal conversion between Asian and US/EU sizing. Depending on the brand, an identical measurement may have a different size. Generally speaking though Asian sizes run smaller.
It depends on the garment. For example, if it’s a structured blazer then we suggest getting the bigger size and getting it tailored. If it’s a stretchy t-shirt then you may be able to get away with the smaller size. If you’re unsure, get the bigger size.
Typically you’ll want to choose the bigger size to make sure it fits.
The best way to make sure you’re getting a garment that will fit is by using our sizing charts and measuring yourself. Below are tips on how to take your own measurements:
For pants, there are two types of measurements: “flat-lay” or body measurements. Flat-lay measurements are taken on the garment laid out on a flat surface, while body measurements are taken on the body.
Inseam is the measurement taken from the crotch to the ankle, running down the inside of the leg.
Outseam is the measurement taken from the waistband to the ankle, running down the outside of the leg.
Rise is the measurement from the crotch seam to the waistband. Sometimes rise is differentiated into front and back, and these measurements can be taken from the garment itself. They’re different because we’re not perfectly symmetrical from front to back.
Bust size: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
Underbust size: Wrap the measuring tape under your bust. This is the part of the bra that goes around your body. This measurement determines bra size. Cup size is determined by the difference between the bust and underbust.
Shoulder width is easiest to measure by having someone measure the distance from shoulder to shoulder in the back. If you’re doing it by yourself, you’ll want to have them mark the end of each shoulder and measure between the two. Checking in the mirror won’t work.
In addition to shoe length, shoe width can vary as well. Widths include Narrow, Medium (B/M), and Wide, such as D or E/EE. To find your width, stand with your full weight on the foot, have someone trace the outline, and then measure the width of the foot.
It can be difficult to take your own measurements accurately, but it’s important to take your time and make sure to get the most accurate measurements you can. Bodies aren’t perfectly symmetrical (tailors know this!). One side of your body is different than the other: shoulders, arms, legs, you name it. When it comes down to choosing a size, measure both sides of your body and use the size that fits the bigger side.
Believe it or not, our bodies aren’t consistent. Especially for the waist measurement, the circumference can change by 0.5-1.5” a day, depending on the amount and types of foods eaten, bloating, posture, etc. The best time to measure is in the morning for consistency.
Petite or tall sizing typically refers to body proportions in relation to height. They take into account torso length, arm/sleeve length, and/or inseam. Petite/tall sizes are independent of bust/waist/hip measurements.
