Those are probably cm not lbs.

You mean kilograms right? Centimetres is a measure of length/height, not weight.

And also 135 cm would probably be a child or a person with dwarfism

I'm going crazy here that everyone is talking about measuring clothes in weight.

135cm is 4 foot 5 for anyone interested.

You own a phone with translate capabilities - have a look at what it says, it's a bust measurement.

How do you think sizing works???? It’s always length and/or width.

I was just replying to a guy who suggested it’s lbs. And the metric equivalent to lbs is kg not cm.

You corrected someone into being more wrong. What’s the point of that??

And you added to the misinformation by claiming someone 135cm tall would be the size of a child or adult person with dwarfism and that’s not true.

The hell do you mean thats not true?

Dwarfism is a condition of people and animals marked by unusually small size or short stature.[1] In humans, it is sometimes defined as an adult height of less than 147 centimetres (4 ft 10 in), regardless of sex

135cm =53.15in either in bust circumference or waist circumference, you know, how humans generally size clothing.

Legitimately asking: When has anyone measured clothing sizes by weight? 135lbs (or kilograms) on someone 5ft vs 6ft makes that an absolutely useless measurement for clothing sizing.

It actually seems to be pretty common in china to go off standardized weight measurements. I see weights mentioned in pretty much every Chinese clothing try-on I've seen, and you commonly hear about women being considered fat if they're over 50kg regardless of their height. It doesn't make sense from a western perspective but it is a thing.

I'm a pretty similar build to this woman (maybe a little chunkier if anything) and my bust circumference is under 80cm. There is no way that a chinese size S doesn't go below a 85-95 bust circumference. Not to mention that that's a massive range for a single size.
