- Bust circumference: the largest circle of the chest.
- Waist circumference: The thinnest circle around your waist. Do not tuck in your belly when measuring.
- Hip circumference: the largest circle of the butt.
When choosing a cheongsam, the net size should be: 3-4-4, that means: chest + 3cm, waist + 4cm, hip + 4cm.
When size selection conflicts:
(1) Satisfy the largest part! If your hips are the largest size, choose a size that fits your hips. When the bust, waist and hip circumferences do not match, use the largest part size part.
(2) Choose big instead of small. You can always change the big to small, but there is nothing you can do if we get a smaller size.
