DgoBuy size guide: compare garment measurements

Use the clothes you already own as your most practical reference.

Measure a similar garment or footwear reference you already use, then compare the same units and measuring points with the selected listing size. Ask about missing methods or values before treating the numbers as comparable.

Choose a reference garment

Pick an item that fits the way you want the new one to fit. Use a similar garment type: a hoodie for a hoodie, jeans for jeans. Lay it flat and measure without stretching it. Record the units and the points used so your comparison can be repeated later.

Read the measurement basis

A flat chest width is normally half a circumference, but the chart must make its method clear. A waist may be measured relaxed or stretched. A shoe chart may describe foot length rather than insole length. Do not compare two numbers until you know that they describe the same thing.

Compare several dimensions

For tops, look at chest width, length and sleeves together. A garment can be wide enough and still be too short. For trousers, compare waist, rise, inseam and the leg opening. For footwear, follow the specific listing’s fitting information and request clarification where necessary; a familiar EU or US label alone may not be enough.

Keep units and tolerances visible

Convert inches and centimetres consistently: one inch is 2.54 centimetres. Avoid rounding several intermediate measurements. If a seller states a measurement tolerance, account for the whole range when fit is close. Do not invent a universal tolerance when the listing gives none.

Treat AI try-on as a styling aid

A generated try-on can help you explore color and proportions in an outfit. It does not measure the actual item, predict comfort or replace the product’s measurements. Use styling previews for visual exploration, then return to the listing and confirm the physical dimensions before deciding.
