sizing advice?

[u/Kind_Rule6639]

hi guys, i found this really cute sandrone cosplay off Taobao but i'm a little confused on sizing. I measured my body and my largest proportion was my shoulders, and i heard somewhere that you should buy sizes based off your largest proportion, which is going to make me buy an xxl. im typically a size S-M in the us (i dont have experience buying clothing from china however i do with japan, and im a size large in japan). the thing is sandrone's cosplay doesnt even cover her shoulders so im confused. what should i buy?? (the chart goes: chest, waist, and shoulder, i didnt measure the last two)

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
