Cheongsam Measurements 旗袍尺寸測量指南

Different from ordinary clothing, cheongsam has a special external design, with smooth body curve lines, slimming waistline that highlights a woman's curvaceous figure. Please refer to the size chart of each style when purchasing. The normal size that is usually worn may not be accurate.

Weight and height

Height and weight are not considerations when buying a cheongsam. Body measurements (bust, waist, hips) should be used as the standard.
Even if the height and weight are the same, the body measurements are not exactly the same.
The dress length, tightness or looseness should be based on personal preference.
Please measure your measurements first or refer to your best-fitting measurements. If a part is particularly large, please choose a size that matches this part. If there is no special reason do not need to choose the large one.

How to self-measure the net size of body [wearing only underwear]

Use a soft measuring tape to measure your net size:

Bust	Standing and normal breathing. With tape level, measure around the fullest part of the chest, just under the arms and around the shoulder blades.
Waist	Standing and normal breathing. With the tape level, measure the circumference at the waist's natural bend.
Hip	Standing and normal breathing. With the tape level and legs straight, measure the circumference at the fullest point.
Height	The height of wearing a pair of shoes.
Length	From shoulder through the chest and waist-to-ground distance. (Mini qipao length: the distance to the edge of the skirt)
Shoulder	From left end of the shoulder bone through the neck to the end of the right shoulder bone.

If you don’t have a soft tape:

For bust, you can refer to the bra size you usually wear and compare it with the size chart.
For waist and hips, you can refer to the jeans size that fits you best and compare the size chart.
You can also use the size of the best-fitting cheongsam you own as a reference.

After self-measurement, compare the [size chart] of the style

Since different manufacturers, market areas, and designers have different aesthetic sizes, compare your measurements according to the size chart of each style. Because the size M of style 1 may be different from the size M of style 2.
Clothes are measured manually flat on the floor. Since some fabrics are stretchable and individual measurement methods are inevitably different, a tolerance error of about 1-3 cm is acceptable.

When your own size conflicts with the selection in the size chart:

Choose the largest part! When the bust, waist, and hips do not fit, choose the largest part size. For example, if the hip is the largest size, please choose the size of the hip. Bust and waist if it is a little larger will have little effect after wearing it.
The suggestion is "rather large than small", that is, take the largest size possible that meets the standard in the measurements. If you are between 2 sizes, it is recommended to buy the next size up.
Different people have different body proportions, and it is unlikely that ready-made clothing will be 100% fit. In particular, cheongsam should be "fitted" with the body shape. Therefore, if necessary, you can ask a tailor to modify it according to your curve size. Of course, it's easier to alter from a large to a small size.

Tightness of the cheongsam

When it comes to cutting, some people prefer a tight fit, especially with stretchy fabrics, while others may prefer a looser fit for comfort. There is no standard, it mainly depends on personal dressing habits or preferences.
When choosing a cheongsam, the allowance of general net size measurement is: 3-4-4, that is: bust + 3cm, waist + 4cm, hip + 4cm.

You can also refer to the guidelines of a tailor-made cheongsam:

Standard Measurement Allowance Guide for Tailored-Made Cheongsam

Tightness	Bust	Waist	Hip
Close-fitting	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")
Standard	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")
Loose	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")

If you plan to wear another garment inside, you may consider “Standard” or "Loose".

In fact, when choosing a cheongsam, sometimes it will look better if it is looser! Cheongsam not only looks good if it is tight, but if it is looser it will make the body lines smoother! Wearing a cheongsam is mainly about being dignified, elegant, gentle and pleasant. There is no need to worry about body shape. Matured lady, who is not a beautiful plump woman?

If you are unsure about the size, please contact customer service for consultation.

有別於一般服飾，旗袍在外部設計較為特殊，綫條流暢、有收腰，且貼身合體顯瘦、彰顯出女子曲綫美的身材，選購時請參考每個款式的尺寸表。平常穿的標準碼數不一定是準確的。

1. 體重、身高

身高，體重不在購買旗袍的考量，應該以三圍爲標準。
就算身高體重一樣、三圍也不完全相同。
長度、寬鬆依個人的喜愛。
請先測量三圍或參考自己過往最合身的尺寸。若局部特別偏大、請留意選擇與這部分相符的尺寸。沒有特殊原因、無須選大。

2. 旗袍三圍淨尺寸的自我測量方法【僅穿內褲】

使用軟(捲)尺測量自己淨尺寸：

胸圍：	胸部最豐滿處的圍度，即胸部最大的一圈。
腰圍：	腰部最細處的圍度，量的時候不要收肚子。
臀圍：	臀部最豐滿處的圍度，即臀部最大的一圈。
身高：	穿上鞋後的高度
衣長：	以肩部通過胸前和腰部到地的距離（短裙衣長：到裙擺邊緣的距離）。
肩寬：	從左肩骨外端經過脖根量至右肩骨外端。

如果沒有軟尺：

胸圍可以參考平時穿的內衣尺碼，按尺寸表進行對照。
腰圍、臀圍，可以參考平時最合身的牛仔褲尺寸，按尺寸進行表對照。
也可以依據已有最合身的旗袍的尺寸作爲參考。

3. 自我測量後，對照款式的[尺寸表]

由於不同的廠商、市場區域、設計師的審美尺寸都有差別，測量三圍後依照每個款式的尺寸表做選擇。因爲款式1的M碼可能與款式2 的 M碼的尺寸不同。
衣服均為手動平鋪測量，由於有的布料本身有彈性、且個人的測量方式難免有差異、所以誤差在1-3CM左右是可以接受的。

當自身尺寸與尺寸表選擇衝突時：

應該選擇最大的部位！當胸圍，腰圍，臀圍不適配時，選擇最大的部位尺碼。比如臀部為最大尺碼，請選擇臀圍的尺寸，胸圍，腰圍偏大一點，穿上後影響不大。
建議是"寧大勿小"、就是三圍尺寸中盡可能取最大符合標準的碼數。如果介於2號之間、建議買大一號。
不同的人有不同的體形比例，不太可能百分之百適合現成的服裝，尤其是旗袍最好與體型「合身」。因此如果有需要，可以根據自己的曲綫尺寸請裁縫師加以修改。當然，從大號更改為小號更容易。

3。旗袍的鬆緊度

在剪裁方面，有些人喜歡緊身的，尤其是有彈性的面料，而另一些人可能喜歡寬鬆的穿著以保持舒適。沒有一個標準，主要看個人的穿衣習慣或喜好。
選擇旗袍時，一般淨尺寸放量：3-4-4 即：胸+3cm，腰+4cm，臀+4cm放量為選擇旗袍的最終尺碼。

也可以參考量身定做旗袍的鬆緊尺寸：

旗袍的鬆緊度有"貼身、標準、寬鬆"可供選擇。

緊鬆穿著	胸圍	腰圍	臀圍
貼身	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")	1 - 3 cm (0.39-1.18")
標準	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")	3 - 6 cm (1.18-2.36")
寬鬆	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")	6 - 10 cm (2.36-3.93")

(如果旗袍裡面要穿衣服的話，建議選擇標準或寬鬆。)

其實，在選擇旗袍時，寬鬆一點也是很好看的！旗袍不只有緊身的才好看，寬鬆一點反而會讓線條更加流暢！穿旗袍主要是端莊、優雅、溫婉可人，不需要有身材焦慮，上了年紀的女士，那個不是珠圓玉潤呢？
