How do I measure for Hanfu? +
(1) Bust: around fullest part of chest, tape parallel to floor, snug not tight. (2) Waist: around narrowest part, 1 inch above belly button, measure naturally. (3) Hips: around fullest part, 7–9 inches below waist. Always measure in cm. Compare to product size chart. Between sizes: size up. 30-day returns for size exchanges.
What size Hanfu should I get? +
XS: bust 80–84cm (US 0–2). S: 84–88cm (US 4–6). M: 88–92cm (US 8–10). L: 92–96cm (US 12–14). XL: 96–102cm (US 16–18). XXL: 102–108cm (US 20–22). 3XL: 108–116cm (US 24–26). Always check individual product size chart. US sizes are approximate.
How does Hanfu sizing compare to US sizes? +
XS=US 0–2, S=US 4–6, M=US 8–10, L=US 12–14, XL=US 16–18, XXL=US 20–22, 3XL=US 24–26. Approximate only — always measure bust/waist/hips and compare to product size chart. Do not rely on US size conversions alone.
Does Hanfu run small? +
Olive Girl Hanfu runs true to size based on measurements. Fitted styles (Qipao): size up if between sizes. Flowing styles (wide-sleeve Tang Hanfu, A-line): more forgiving. Embroidered styles: size up for more relaxed fit. Golden rule: when in doubt, size up. 30-day returns for size exchanges.
What if I am between Hanfu sizes? +
Always size up. Easier to take in than let out. A tailor can adjust a slightly larger Hanfu. Flowing styles look beautiful even slightly larger. 30-day returns for size exchanges — risk-free. Most common mistake: choosing the smaller size when between sizes.
How do I measure for a Qipao? +
Qipao is fitted — more precise sizing needed. Measure bust, waist, hips. Check height for length-specific styles. Always size up if between sizes — a too-tight Qipao is uncomfortable and unflattering. A slightly larger Qipao can be taken in by a tailor. All Olive Girl Qipao have detailed size charts in cm and inches.
