China size to US clothing
China size to US depends on the product category. Women clothing, men shirts, pants and kids height sizes need different checks.
Quick answer: Use women clothing charts for dresses and tops, men charts for shirts and pants, and height-based charts for kids clothing.
01 /Examples and fit notes
China L
Could mean US 8 for a women dress or US M for a men shirt, depending on category.
Kids 140
Usually around US kids 10, not an adult size.
Important note
Do not use one chart for every clothing category.
Note 2
When available, use centimeters before letter labels.
02 /How to use this lookup
This page answers one specific size search intent. For the best fit, start with the linked main converter and use the centimeter measurements on the Chinese chart whenever they are available.
Marketplace labels are useful shortcuts, but brand charts, garment type, fabric stretch and body measurements can change the final fit. Treat the lookup as a nearest match, not a guaranteed size.
03 /Size conversion context
Chinese size labels are practical lookup shortcuts, not universal brand guarantees. A CN shoe label, clothing size, bra code or Taobao chart row can vary by seller, product category, last shape, fabric stretch and whether the chart shows body measurements or garment measurements.
When possible, use the centimeter value first: foot length for shoes, bust/waist/hip for clothing, under-bust and cup difference for bras, and the specific Taobao chart row for marketplace listings. Then use the converter result as the nearest US, UK or EU match.
