What are Shein sizes like?

Dresses. Shein dresses run quite small. There are certain occasions where you might need to go up by about two sizes in order to get a better fit. This is likely due to the fact that Shein is a Chinese company and therefore its sizing may be different from what you're used to.

Just click on the 'SIZE & FIT' button on each product page to find out the model's size and measurements.

At Shein, 0XL is the equivalent of a size 12 instead of the usual size 16, and a 5X is a size 22, not the expected size 30 to 32. Shein Curve's selection includes more than 75,000 clothing options, ranging from dresses and workwear to swimwear and lingerie.

At first, the 0XL might seem the same size as the XL, but it isn't. On the contrary, 0XL is smaller than XL sizes. 0XL and 1XL use plus-size scales, while XL falls under the misses scale. So, while they may sound equivalent, they are different women's sizes.

1XL is a "plus" cut, generally covering the 14-16W.

I've also found that a 3X in Shein is equivalent to a 1X in true plus sizes. If you see pieces that go up to a 5X or 6X then those sizes will fit a 3X. When you look at the size description, Shein does a good job of displaying the size the model is wearing and even putting next to the sizes what they're equivalent to.

1) Check the Sizing Measurements

In my experience, clothes from Shein run small. While this isn't true across the board, 90% of the time I have found this to be the case. This is why checking the sizing is important.

Some clothing lines consider anything a size 14 or above a “plus” size, while others start their plus sizing at a 16 or 18.
