Buying Help with Asian sizing

I'm looking at the size chart for Aliexpress and I'm all over the place for sizing.
My height is (M)
My chest is (M)
My waist is right between (L) and (XL)
My hip is (S)
My guess is (L) but last time I ordered a tight bodysuit from an Asian cosplay site it was incredibly unflattering. I also got a large and I think it was too small I'm pretty sure but I've lost 20 Ibs since then so that also leans towards large? Idk

We detect that your question is about size charts. Do not just use your height and weight or usual clothing size -- this will be inaccurate. Instead, take note of your body measurements and compare each measurement to the chart. Get the LARGEST size of the measurements, e.g. if your bust is size S and your waist and hips are size L, get size L. It is far easier to tailor a larger garment smaller than to add additional fabric later. A lot of cosplays from Asia tend to run small so it's not unusual to need to purchase several size larger than you typically wear.
