01 /Examples and fit notes

Clothing

Translate bust, waist and length before choosing a clothing size.

Shoes

Find the foot-length column, then convert centimeters to US shoe size.

Important note

Do not rely on browser translation alone for size charts.

Note 2

Some listings use garment measurements instead of body measurements.

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.
