Q2: Which size should I choose? How to choose the right size for myself?

Clothes Size Guide

Step 1: Check the Size Conversion Chart

The first thing to note is that all sizes of charts are listed in centimeters. We are an Asian-based boutique so all sizes are Asian sizes.

All dresses are NOT in a standard size because they are from different indie brands which have different size ranges for the same Size Label(S/M/L/XL) from each other. And all tops, shoes, and other kinds of stuff are in the same situation.

Mainly, the clothes of our store fall into the Miss US size 4-14.

If you are in US 16 or over, the Custom Size part is highly recommended.

Step 2: Check the Clothes Size Chart of the clothes you want to buy

CLOTHES SIZE CHART lists data that measured from the garment.

Normally, there is a 1-2 centimeters manual error in measurements. Minus 3 centimeters from the Bust and Waist measurements of the charts for leaving the space of movement; minus 5 cm or more for winter heavy outwear while adding 5 cm for underwear.

Garment Size Chart Ex.1 [no elasticity on bust and waist]

Ex.1:

If a person is in bust 84 cm and waist 70 cm, size M will be fit. Size S will be tight on the waist. M size will be more suitable.

If your bust size is 84 cm and waist size is 70 cm, choose size M instead of size S. 

Garment Size Chart Ex.2 [features elasticity on bust and waist]

Ex.2:

When Garment Size Charts list measurements in different ranges(usually in Bust and Waist girth), it always means that the stuff features elasticity on its bust and waist parts. Allow the upper size 2 cm or larger than your body size.

S size will be fit for the person lists in example 1.
