📐 How to Measure Yourself Correctly
Before checking any size chart, you need accurate measurements. Here's how:
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically above your belly button
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks
- Length: For tops - measure from shoulder to desired hem. For pants - measure inseam from crotch to ankle

🎯 Size Recommendation by Body Type
Petite Frame (Under 5'4")
Recommendation: Order 1-2 sizes up from the chart
Reason: Temu sizes assume average Asian height (5'2"-5'4"). If you're petite, standard sizing may work, but expect items to run long.
Best strategy: Check "length" measurements carefully. Many tops will be tunic-length on petites.
Athletic/Muscular Build
Recommendation: Order 2-3 sizes up, prioritize shoulder and chest measurements
Reason: Temu clothing is cut narrow through shoulders and chest. Athletic builds won't fit standard sizing.
Best strategy: Measure your shoulders and compare to size chart. Choose based on shoulder width, not chest.
Curvy/Plus Size
Recommendation: Order 2-3 sizes up minimum, possibly 4 for true fit
Reason: Temu's plus sizes are more like US regular sizes. Their 3XL = US Large/XL.
Best strategy: Prioritize hip and bust measurements. Stick to stretchy fabrics. Avoid structured pieces.
Tall Frame (Over 5'8")
Recommendation: Size up 2-3 AND check length measurements critically
Reason: Most Temu clothes are cut for 5'2"-5'5" height. Sleeves and inseams will be short.
Best strategy: Avoid full-length pants unless length is explicitly listed as 32"+ inseam. Stick to cropped styles.
✅ 10 Golden Rules for Temu Clothing
- Always check the SPECIFIC item's size chart - Not all sellers use the same measurements
- Read reviews with photos FIRST - Sort by "with images" and look for body-type matches
- When in doubt, size UP - Too big can be tailored; too small can't be fixed
- Measure yourself every time - Don't trust your "usual size" on Temu
- Check fabric content - 100% polyester stretches differently than cotton blends
- Prioritize loose/oversized styles - They're more forgiving of size discrepancies
- Screenshot the size chart - Save it with your order in case you need to return
- Avoid fitted dresses and structured jackets - Highest failure rate for fit
- Stick to basics first - Test sizing with cheap t-shirts before ordering expensive items
- Know Temu's return policy - 90 days, but you may pay return shipping from US to China
❓ Common Sizing Questions Answered
Q: Why is Temu sizing so different from US sizing?
A: Temu sellers primarily manufacture for Asian markets where average body sizes are smaller. US sizes are typically 2-3 sizes larger than Asian equivalents. A Chinese Large = US Small in most cases.
Q: Can I trust "One Size Fits All" items?
A: Generally NO. "One size" on Temu usually means it fits Asian S-M (US XS-S). Only buy OSFA if:
- It's very stretchy material (check fabric content)
- It's an oversized/loose style
- Reviews from US buyers confirm it fits sizes 0-12
Q: Should I order my US size or size up?
A: ALWAYS size up 2-3 sizes minimum. If you're a US Medium, order XL or XXL. Check the specific measurements in the size chart - don't just trust the size labels.
Q: What if I'm between sizes on the chart?
A: Always go UP to the next size. Temu fabrics tend to shrink slightly after washing, and it's better to have room than be too tight. Plus, many items are cut smaller than the chart suggests.
Q: Do all Temu sellers use the same sizing?
A: NO! This is crucial. Each seller may use different measurements. NEVER assume sizing is consistent across different items. Always check each product's individual size chart.
