Sizing on Sugargoo where basics drift
Budget basics are made to a price, and sizing drifts between shops. The height-weight notes buyers leave are worth more than any tag. Measure, then read those notes.

The tag lies, the notes tell
One shop's M is another's L. The printed size is a suggestion. The row 'I'm 170/65, took L, perfect' is the only real sizing data you have.
Stack two or three notes and the right size stops being a gamble. Ignore them and you guess against a label that means nothing.
Cm over letters
When a listing gives both a cm measure and a size label, trust the cm. It's the one number that doesn't lie about where you sit.
Asian basics run narrower at shoulder and thigh. Convert with the seller's chart, not a generic search.
Measure flat
Lay the item flat, measure across, compare to the seller's flat numbers — not the size you grab in a Western store. Write the numbers down; the tape is fact.
The size you 'usually wear' is memory. The note column exists so you don't rely on memory.
No exchanges across the border
Shipping through an agent from Asia — no 'swap a size'. Wrong size means a second order or closet orphan. On a budget that's the whole margin.
That's why height-weight notes matter more than the tag. Someone wore your size; read it like the only review that counts.
Two feet, one choice
For shoes, size to the larger foot. Budget sneakers run narrow; check cm foot length, not the EU label that drifts between batches.
If the row has no size note, slow down and read reviews for fit. Guessing means a second order if wrong.
FAQ
Do Sugargoo sizes run small?
Basics often do — slim cuts, half-size small. Size up once when unsure. Trust buyer height-weight notes over the tag.
How do I convert?
Use the seller's own chart and the cm measurement, not a generic search. Asian factories cut to their chart, so 'L' here may differ there.
No size info?
Slow down, read reviews for fit before ordering. Wrong size on a budget find means a second order — no swaps across the border.
