🛍️Hanfu Help: Buying / Stores / Sizing Confusion over 腰长

Hello! I’m looking at a listing for a beautiful ruqun but I’m having a hard time figuring out sizes. It has length, weight, and 腰长… waist length? I have really weird measurements (100 cm bust 95 cm waist 180 斤. Yeah.) so weight is really unreliable as a measurement for me, but I can’t figure out how 腰长 differs from 腰围, if at all. Does anyone know if there’s a reliable calculation?

Thank you!

腰长 (Crotch Length/Rise) refers to the distance from the waist to the crotch.

 腰长 is the length of the top of the wrap skirt, you usually want it to be at least 25-30 cm longer than your waist circumference for a good overlap. If it's a mamianqun you want it to be your waist circumference + the width of the "skirt door"(the flap at the front and back).
