Size guide
Start with a tape measure
Size letters drift between brands; centimeters don't. Measure your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest, and your hips at the widest, then hold those three numbers against the chart on the listing you're considering. OFEEFAN publishes garment measurements on nearly every listing.
Typical ranges
- S: bust 34-36 in, usually fits US 4-6
- M: bust 36-38 in, US 8-10
- L: bust 39-41 in, US 12-14
- XL: bust 42-44 in, US 16-18
- XXL: bust 45-47 in, US 20
- 3XL-5XL: plus range on selected styles, up to about US 28
These are our usual numbers; an individual listing's chart overrides them.
Fit notes by cut
- Smocked and tiered sundresses: generous through waist and hip - if between sizes, go down.
- Ribbed knits and bodycon pieces: true to snug - go up if you want breathing room.
- Lounge sets: tops run relaxed, shorts run true; match the size to your bottom half.
- Cover-up styles: meant oversized, so your regular size gives the intended drape.
A trick that saves returns
Lay a piece you already love flat and measure it pit to pit, then compare against the flat measurements in the listing chart. Matching a garment you trust beats matching your body every time.
