I don't know what to think of Japanese sizes!!! I'm about 5'6" and weigh 115 lbs. All of the websites I've found kept emphasizing that Japanese sizes run very small, so I chose "medium" from Metamorphose. When I got my jumpers and dresses they were way too big! Normally I wear a size 3 or so, and these looked more like a size 7 US. I ended up re-selling them all =( I need to go make a visit to Japan and actually try some on!!

Japanese sizes run from about a size 10 at most to a size nothing.
Anything larger is ushually specially made for larger peoples like... adults or something.
Everything is generally shorter and thinner made then US or Canadian fashions.
Least that's what I've seen from all the asain stores here.

If your busty or hippy or long in arm or leg your better off not risking it. If your thin then you'll do fine.

Also remember that US fashions are messed and tend to be either way too small. Or way too large.

Aparently there is no middle ground.
