Beth & Brian Qipao Sizing Guide

Sizing Guide

Getting the right size is the most important step to a Qipao that fits and feels beautiful. Please read this guide carefully before ordering — Chinese sizing works a little differently from standard Western sizing.

Key Sizing Rules

  • Always check the size chart on each product page. Different designs and fabrics are cut differently — there is no universal size across our range.
  • Size charts show garment measurements, not body measurements. Add 2–3 cm to your body measurements for a comfortable fit, or 3–5+ cm for a looser fit.
  • Chinese sizing runs smaller than US/European sizing. Please do not assume your usual Western size will apply.
  • If your bust or hips fall at the upper end of a size range, choose the next size up.
  • If you are between two sizes, always choose the larger size.



I. How to Measure Yourself

Use a soft measuring tape to take your body measurements. Measure in centimeters for best accuracy and compare to the size chart on each individual product page.

II. US Size Conversion Chart

Don’t have a measuring tape? Use the chart below to find the body measurements that correspond to your US clothing size, then compare those measurements to the size chart on the specific product you’re ordering.
