In this post: popular sites, other sites worth checking out, guide to shopping a Korean Fashion site.
Korean sizes, they are usually one size smaller than what you’re used to. For example a Korean small is a western extra small, medium in Korea is small, large is medium and so on. So, tip if you live in a western country and are not a Korean body type it is smart to order 1 size larger. Also, a lot of Korean clothes are “free size,” this is one size fits all. See the clothing size charts for more help. Remember to check out the fashion glossary for all the menu/category, color and measurement translations.
When you find the items you want, 1. copy and paste the URL into order forms on Koreanbuddy.com. 2. Copy and paste the product name and 3. let me know the options you want. If you can’t understand the options then just send me a message over chat. I will get back to you quickly!

Guide to a Korean Fashion site (StyleByYam)
Let me show you how cool Korean fashion sites are by taking a look at one called StyleByYam. This site sells affordable Korean fashions and has popular features such as taking tonnes and tonnes of photos of the models in each piece, showing the model’s measurements, height and weight at the bottom of the page, and also having customer reviews at the bottom as well with photos of real customers wearing the clothing. So helpful!
There is an English version of the site, but like many Korean sites, there is little or no difference between the Korean and English version that I can see, ha ha.
When you visit Korean sites many of them have annoying pop ups that keep appearing. Click the box “오늘 하루 열지 않음” (don’t open the rest of the day) and then click “x” to close it. That will save you some time.
The main menu is in English, but the sub-menus are all Korean whether you’re on the Korean or English sites. Use the fashion glossary to help you narrow your search.
I’m going to click “dress” and then choose the first dress on the left. (I know it’s a shirt and shorts, but it comes up when I click dress.) Notice the hat, white shirt and sandals, they are for sale too, separately.
The cool thing about this site is they also sell all of the accessories as well. You can see the shoes, hair ties, shirts etc that the model is wearing in the shots for sale as well. The first option is usually color. Again the glossary for help.
When you find the item you want 1. copy and paste the URL into the forms on Koreanbuddy.com. 2. Copy and paste the product name and 3. Let me know the options you want. If you can’t understand the options contact through the chat and I will get back to you quickly.
The order form on KoreanBuddy where you enter the info looks like this:
After scrolling through all the pictures you can see the measurements of the dress. Here are all the measurements you could every need. And there are a few more in the glossary ㅋㅋㅋ.
Finally, you can see the model’s measurements at the bottom along with user reviews and pictures. Some sites provide more details than others.
Hope this post makes your shopping experience easier, I want to help you as much as I can buddy.
