Sorting on size...

[marijke49]

Twice I have ended up with a ridiculously small item of clothing from a Chinese vendor when I bought something that was marked 2XL. There is an enormous amount of clothing advertised by Chinese vendors and NO MEANS to exclude them from a search. I am beginning to find it rather tedious to sift through all these items in the hope of finding clothing that have European, US, or Australian sizes. I know I carry a bit of weight these days, but a size 18 from China wouldn't even properly fit a size 10 here in Australia. I would like to see another radio button in the section where you can now choose "Worldwide" or "Australia Only" that would allow us to "exclude" specific areas of the world; it would certainly improve my eBay experience again...

There is just about no such thing as standard sizing any more,except for a few reliable brands ie Cue is still awesome with standard Aus sizing.I do think plus size brands like City Chic who aim for Sz14+ range are more accurate with sizing.Most of these have their own sizing range however ie City Chic Sz XS=Sz14 Aus, Taking Shape TS is the same also.Leona Edmiston Sz 3= Sz14Aus. etc.

Asian sizing is notoriously small.

You can do an Australia only search.Maybe the One Size search.

If you see an item you like & aren't sure that it will fit,msg the seller to ask for say flat bust measure in cms or lenght etc,if they do not include measurements in their listing.I take bust measure between underarms as it is usually right across the bust line.Just as a rough idea of how to size yourself or where a seller will probably measure that.

Never rely on tag size alone,it is not accuruate.
