The Secret To Choosing The Right Size For Women's T-Shirts Like Tailor-Made

Online shopping is really convenient, but surely many times you have to "headache" because the T-shirt you just ordered is not as expected? Sometimes it is too tight to breathe, sometimes it is too loose to "swallow" your figure, not to mention the color and style you like but when you wear it, it does not show off your inherent beauty. This suffering is not unique to anyone, especially when choosing the size of a women's T-shirt - an item that seems simple but can easily "betray" you if you choose the wrong one.

Understanding that, Celidior has compiled all the secrets from A-Z in this article, helping you conquer every T-shirt online in the easiest way. Let's explore!

1. Why Is Choosing the Right Size of Women's T-Shirts So Important?

A well-fitting women's t-shirt is not just an item of clothing, but a companion that brings more value than you think:

• Absolute comfort: The right size shirt helps you move easily, work or play all day long without feeling constrained or uncomfortable. This is a prerequisite for you to always feel full of energy.
• Maximize your figure, "hack" your figure to the max: A well-fitting shirt will help to highlight your body curves, hiding unwanted flaws. On the contrary, a shirt that is too tight or too loose can accidentally "drown" your figure, making you look unbalanced.
• Perfect online shopping experience: Choosing the right size women's T-shirt from the start helps you save time, effort and return costs. There is nothing better than when the item you are eagerly waiting for fits perfectly!
• Boost your confidence: When wearing a well-fitting and comfortable outfit, you will feel much more confident in every situation, from going to school, going to work to going out with friends.

2. Determine Body Measurements

The first and most important step to choosing the right shirt size is to understand your body measurements. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to measure, I will guide you in detail right here:

2.1. How to measure Bust

This is the most important measurement when choosing a T-shirt.

• Use a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest.
• Hold the tape straight, parallel to the ground, not too tight or too loose.
• Make sure the tape fits snugly but still allows you to breathe comfortably.

2.2. How to measure waist circumference

• Find the smallest part of your waist, usually about 2-3cm above your belly button.
• Wrap the tape measure around this area, keeping it parallel to the floor.
• Relax your body, do not suck in your stomach when measuring.

2.3. How to measure Shoulder Width

• Place one end of the tape measure at the point where the shoulder meets the sleeve on one side.
• Wrap the tape measure straight across the back of your neck to the point where the shoulder meets the sleeve on the other side.
• Keep the tape measure straight, with no slack.

2.4. How to measure desired Shirt Length

• Decide how long you want your dress to be (waist, hip, or crop top).
• Place one end of the tape measure at the highest point of your shoulder (near your neck).
• Pull the tape measure straight down to the desired length.
• Write this down to compare to the length in the size chart.

Measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the desired position on the body.

Tips for accurate measurement:

• What to wear when measuring: Wear fitted underwear or tank tops, thin, tight leggings. It is best to wear nothing on the upper body if you feel comfortable.
• Ask someone else to help: If possible, ask a friend or relative to help you measure, especially measurements such as chest circumference, shoulder width to ensure the tape is placed correctly and straight.
• Measure multiple times: Take 2-3 measurements for each measurement and take the average result or the most repeated measurement to ensure accuracy.
• Take careful notes: Prepare a pen and paper or take notes on your phone immediately after measuring each parameter.
• Standard posture: Always stand up straight, relax naturally, do not tense or suck in your stomach when measuring.
• Be patient and careful: Do not rush, take the time to do each step correctly. This is the foundation for you to choose the perfect size of women's t-shirt.

3. Understanding Popular T-Shirt Size & Form Systems

After having measurements, the next step is to get familiar with the size systems and shirt forms so as not to be "confused" when looking at the women's t-shirt size chart.

The basic difference between size systems:

• International Sizes (US, UK, EU): Usually have more specific body measurement standards (cm/inch) for each size. For example, US sizes are usually larger than Asian sizes.

Size	Bust (cm)	Waist  (cm)	Height (cm)	Weight (kg)
S	88-92	72-76	170-175	55-65
M	93-97	77-81	175-180	65-75
L	98-102	82-86	180-185	75-85
XL	103-107	87-91	185-190	85-95
XXL	108-112	92-96	190-195	95-105

• Asian/Guangzhou Size: Usually, the size of Asian products (especially Guangzhou products) will be smaller than European and American sizes, sometimes even smaller than standard Vietnamese sizes. Always check the detailed measurement chart carefully.

Size	Bust (cm)	Waist  (cm)	Height (cm)	Weight (kg)
S	78-82	62-66	150-160	40-50
M	83-87	67-71	160-170	50-60
L	88-92	72-76	165-175	60-70
XL	93-97	77-81	170-180	65-75
XXL	98-102	82-86	175-185	70-80

Popular t-shirt form types and their influence on size selection:

• Slim Fit: The shirt style hugs the body's curves, flattering the figure. Suitable for those who are confident about their figure. When choosing a slim fit shirt size, if you prefer to wear it a little more comfortably or your measurements are at the upper limit of a size, consider going up 1 size.

Slim fit shirt hugs the body, flatters the figure, should choose a size up if you want it looser

• Regular Fit: The most common shirt shape, not too tight or too loose, providing comfort and a natural fit. Size selection is usually based on the manufacturer's standard chart.

Regular fit shirt style, comfortable, popular form

• Oversize/Relaxed Fit (Loose fit): Loose, comfortable shirt, with a unique, dynamic style. When choosing the size of an oversized women's T-shirt, you should choose the right size according to the brand's chart to get the standard loose fit as designed. If you don't want the shirt to be too baggy, you can consider going down 1 size (compared to the regular size you usually wear), but please read the brand's recommendations carefully.

• Measure your measurements carefully & Compare with the size chart: This is the most important step, don't skip it! Always update your measurements and compare carefully with the size chart provided on the website.
• Read the product description carefully: Pay attention to information about the material (is it stretchy?), the shirt shape (tight, straight, loose?), and notes about the size from the seller (for example: "the shirt shape is smaller than usual, should choose 1 size up").
• Refer to reviews and feedback images: This is an extremely valuable source of information! See reviews, comments and real images from people who have bought before. They often share about whether the size is correct, what the fabric is like, how it looks when worn.
