There are a few reviews about the sizing not the same as US. How does your sizing equate to US sizing?

I would say their size chart is not based on our standard. They're not just much smaller than their own listed size but also unproportional. Mostly much smaller on bust and under arms if they fit you else where. Returning is a huge hassle and I won't recommend this site at all though their pictures look nice.

My two pieces were crazy, too long, too small in shoulder
And bust,
And sleeves were way too tight-
Better stay away- not worth the hazel.
The garmets are nothing like the images!

My experience with most of the garments made in China or other countries is their sizes are NEVER ACCURATE. They size for persons in each country manufacturer is located... DO NOT EXPECT ANY PIECES OF CLOTHING TO FIT by their measurements. Example: I ordered a XXL blouse as I wear size 14 (USA) I could not even get my arms in and had I been able to it would have been to small in other areas. Actually, their clothing pictures are professionally done, the final garment may or may not look as the picture and the fabric may be very inferior to the picture.

If you are a VERY small USA size it is possible you may find something that will fit. Their models are teen age, tiny body's and also very short... so don't be fooled by the way garments fit the models in the pictures.
Also, each designer's size charts vary ---- be very aware.

I love what I see in the pictures and would like very much to be able to find similar in my size ( 12-14) but so far this has not happened.

Lastly, be aware that IF THE GARMENT DOESN'T FIT AND YOU RETURN IT. BE PREPARED FOR A LONG, FRUSTRATING WAIT ON THE REFUND.

I hope this information will be helpful to some who are interested in purchasing from StyleWe and I also wish you much luck...

Regards,

Carol

I don't think the size is that much off. The problem with the dresses I had is that their cutting is poor. It is not tapered like some high quality dress. The cut is flat and straight down like a tablecloth. That makes it look much "bigger" than anticipated.

I found that the sizing is different between designers. To try and say how it compares to US sizing is hard to say because over the years the standard size charts have gotten bigger as to US population continues to get bigger. What I did to order the items I purchased was to look at the additional information provided which stated the garment measurements and chose the appropriate size by those measurements and I ignored the standard " S; M; L" listed. So far the three individual garments that I ordered fit well. There are some items that I wanted to ordered, ( I usually wear a M - L) but when I looked at the garment measurements, the "XL" sizing was too small so I had to pass on that item. My advice, check the garment measurements before ordering.

Sizing is not only smaller than US sizing, it's considerably smaller than the measurements indicated on their own size chart.

This is precisely the question I tried to get Stylewe to answer without success. My guess is that each designer has his/her own system so you are taking your chances.

Don't purchase! The sizes are terrible as is the material and quality. You will NEVER receive a refund deapite reaturning the item and the company will only offer you a refund once you DELETE your negative review.

In my opinion, the sizing is closer to Petite or Junior sizing then regular women's sizing. If you are taller than 5'4, I would go up a size. I normally wear Small and went to a Medium. So in general, go one size larger.

The StyleWe sizes are way off and in no way fit the average American. An XL is like a size 4. Avoid. Their quality is horrible.

I wear a US size 2-4 depending on the article of clothing and style. I had to exchange a medium dress for a large and it's still a little too tight over the hips and butt. If you've got a booty and the item you want is slightly fitted, go for an XL & find a good tailor to have it fitted properly.

The clothes run very small. A size 4 would probably be a medium or a large. I would not recommend this retailer. There return service is terrible.

It is hit or miss with this company. Check the size charting they have and always go larger - sometimes that works.

I'm a 10-12 so I always order an Xl or XXL because my arms and back span is wider then those born of Asian descent. If you're an 8-10 you should still order a large or XL. You can always alter to smaller if needed.

Hi- I see a style we rep answered your question- as a customer, I have to disagree with her and agree with the second person who answered: I tried three times to order something according to the measurements- not only were they not accurate- measurements that were stated to be within one inch or so of each other yielded: a dress that fit my size 6 friend (I'm size 16), a dress that would not button, and a dress that was actually slightly loose, but had ill fitting sleeves (and not accurate to the stated measurements). After trying three times, I quit. If you are going for it- I suggest ordering bigger and assuming you'll have to tailor. Good luck!

I ordered a medium and a large of the same jumpsuit. I am a size 6. The medium was too short and although I could fit in it, my arms would not raise about 90 degrees. The large was even smaller through the legs so I could not get it on. I rerurned them both, and will not order again from them.

The sizing depends on the style of garment. I bought loose dresses to tops to fitted dresses. I would say overall the clothes run at least one size too small regardless of how the sizing is indicated in the details. All styles are too tight in the bust and armpit areas. My other complaint is that while the fabric looks nice and high end it is actually VERY thin, particularly in the case of silk. One outfit was so thin you could see my slip through it! I may have it lined but if not it will just be a loss.

I took my own measurements then checked the measurements on the garments I ordered. I'm a size 12 on top 8 on the bottom. Broad shoulders. I have ordered XL for the dresses. Ordered a large and had to return it. I also ordered an XXL for one. So far fit is good. For the money, the fabrics and finish are extraordinary. Use your own measurements as a guide. There are some designers I like but can't order from as sizes all too small.

I ordered LARGE and what I got fits like EXTRA SMALL. It is totally useless to me and it looks like I now have to pay shipping back to Canada. The last time this happened due to size discrepancy I had to pay return shipping back to CHINA... which I did not do so that one was a total loss!

The sizing on my order was way off. Order larger, but be prepared for the proportions to be off. Delivery is slow and returns difficult.

The sizing is definitely not in keeping with US sizes. You will need to look at the specific measurements of dress that they have under dress details. Those measurements are fine and if one of those fit you, you are good.

I agree with the answer from Stylewe. I am a US size L. When ordering I always check the product information indicating sizes. I find that normally the product info is correct.

Some of our items run one size smaller, so it will be better to choose bigger size. Every time when you click the size "S, M, L"etcit will show the corresponding detailed measurements for the specific size. Then you can check. You need to refer to the item Product Details to see the exact measurements first and choose the corresponding size (S, M, L, etc). The size guide is just a reference for all the items, which is not as accurate as the info of product details.
If you run into any issues, feel free to drop us an email (services@stylewe.com)and we will get back to you ASAP.

I found all of the dresses I ordered were too small. I ordered Larges and I'm a size 6-8 ( usually a medium). They offered to let me keep the dresses for store credit but I chose to return them because I don't have any confidence in their clothing. I'm still waiting for me refund too

Personally, here in the us, I have to buy a size bigger and tailor it in or wear it loose, if I buy a size smaller here in the Us it's too snug, but when I bought the dresses and skirt combo, it fit just right. I hope I'm making sense.
