01 /Examples and fit notes

Taobao dress

If a dress shows L with 92 cm bust, it is closer to US 8 than US large.

Fit warning

For woven fabrics with no stretch, size up if your bust is near 92 cm.

Important note

Chinese letter sizes are calibrated differently from US letter sizes.

Note 2

Use body measurements before trusting the letter label.

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.
