1.Look at the size chart instead of simply believing that “one size fits all”: Even if it is a one-size-fits-all product, the details page should be marked with specific bust/length data. For example, the actual dimensions of a popular model are: bust 92cm, length 110cm.

2.Pay attention to fabric ingredients: Clothes containing ≥5% elastic fiber (such as spandex) are more tolerant, and non-elastic fabrics such as pure cotton may not fit one size fits all.

3.Use buyer show reference: Search for the keyword "height and weight + one size fits all" to see the actual wearing effect of consumers with similar body types.

4.Precautions for special body types:

• Apple-Shaped Body: Avoid One-Size Skirts with Elastic Bands at the Waist
• Pear-shaped body: choose the A-line version with an expanded hem
• Small people: Please note that the length of the dress does not exceed 85cm (dress)

Consumers should establish a scientific understanding of sizes and consume rationally based on their own data. Brands also need to optimize the transparency of size markings and promote the construction of a more inclusive size system.
