Detailed explanation of the steps for optimizing clothing sizes and uploading size charts for Amazon sellers

When selling apparel on Amazon, providing accurate sizing information is critical to the customer’s shopping experience. Considering that there are significant differences in clothing sizes between Europeans, Americans and Asians, sellers need to pay attention to the following points to optimize clothing sizes.

Understand size differences in your target market

Products from non-foreign trade manufacturers on platforms such as 1688 default to Asian sizes. Putting these products directly on the shelves may lead to buyers misinterpreting them as US sizes, leading to negative reviews and returns. No matter where the goods come from, novice sellers should conduct a comparative analysis of the styles from several suppliers after selecting products to finally determine the appropriate style. Sellers with their own factories need to adjust production details such as samples and sizes based on the pattern maker’s suggestions and actual conditions.

Pictures affect expectations

Even if the styles are the same, buyers will have different expectations for specific sizes and upper body effects due to the linked pictures. For example, a normal-sized sweater may appear loose when worn by a thin model. Some buyers may expect a similar effect on themselves, but if the actual product they receive does not meet their expectations, it may lead to dissatisfaction.

Consider different body types

Buyers with different body types will have different effects when wearing the same piece of clothing. Female body shapes are roughly divided into four types: standard/H-shaped, pear-shaped/A-shaped, hourglass-shaped/X-shaped, and apple-shaped/O-shaped. Since most models have a tall and thin hourglass figure, and the United States has a high obesity rate, especially middle-aged women, their figures may become pear or apple-shaped. Therefore, sellers can consider adjusting sizes from S to 2XL when selecting products to expand their audience.
