Mastering Chinese Sizes: A Step-by-Step Guide for CNFans Spreadsheet Users

The Size Chart Puzzle: From Confusion to Confidence

I remember staring at my first Chinese size chart, feeling like I was deciphering ancient hieroglyphics. The numbers didn't make sense, the descriptions used terms I'd never seen, and I ended up with jeans that could fit two of me. That's when I discovered systematic approach – and the CNFans Spreadsheet became my best friend.

Your Pre-Purchase Checklist

Before you even consider adding to cart, these steps will save you from costly mistakes:

• Always convert centimeters to inches – Chinese measurements use metric system exclusively
• Check the CNFans Spreadsheet for similar items – compare measurements from previous successful purchases
• Look for '实拍' (actual photos) in descriptions – this indicates seller-provided real product images
• Identify fabric composition keywords – 棉 (cotton), 聚酯纤维 (polyester), 羊毛 (wool)

Decoding Common Description Terms

Chinese product descriptions contain specific terminology that reveals quality details:

• 『顶级质量』 – top quality (usually reliable)
• 『原单』 – original order (manufacturer surplus)
• 『瑕疵品』 – flawed product (proceed with caution)
• 『均码』 – one size fits all (verify measurements carefully)

The Measurement Deep Dive

When analyzing size charts, focus on these critical measurements:

• 胸围 – chest/bust measurement (take your well-fitting garment and measure)
• 衣长 – garment length (compare to your favorite pieces)
• 肩宽 – shoulder width (crucial for proper fit)
• 裤长 – pants length (remember Asian fits often run shorter)

Real Example: Reading a Jacket Description

Let's break down an actual description: 『顶级棉质飞行员夹克 - 胸围120cm 衣长68cm - 实拍图片保证质量』 This translates to: Top quality cotton pilot jacket - chest 120cm length 68cm - actual photos guarantee quality. Using the CNFans Spreadsheet, I'd search similar jackets to verify these measurements align with my usual size.

After mastering basics, these strategies will elevate your accuracy:

• Use the CNFans Spreadsheet comment section to ask previous buyers about fit
