China sizes
GB (national standard) ยท cm-based
Chinese sizing uses centimeter body-measurement labels. Numeric labels (160/84A) encode both height and bust.
Women's clothing label
Height cm / bust cm + type (160/84A)
Men's clothing label
Height cm / chest cm + type (170/92A)
Shoe label
EU + Mondopoint mm (42 / 265)
Chinese women's clothing uses labels like 160/84A: 160 cm body height / 84 cm bust / A body-type. That maps roughly to US S. Men's uses 170/92A (height / chest / type).
Chinese shoe sizing typically labels both the EU number and the foot length in mm โ e.g., '42 (265)'. The mm value is Mondopoint, so trust it.
Common pitfalls
- China-made goods for the US market use the US chart; goods for the China market use GB โ the same brand can have both.
- 'A' body type in the label = standard; 'B' = fuller. This is not a size number.
- Aliexpress and Taobao 'Asian sizing' can run 2 sizes smaller than US labels โ always read the cm chart.
