Korean clothing sizes, decoded. 55 is a Western S, 66 is M, 77 is L. Most Instagram brands ship one "Free Size" that fits XS-S only. Convert below.
Korean Free Size online brands fit Western XS-S only. For Korean L (77) and above, shop department-store brands or Musinsa's sized lines instead.
Korean sizing is cut for a 158-162 cm body, 84-88 cm bust.
Anyone above that, size up.
Instagram brands skew even smaller, around a 155-160 cm reference. That's why Free Size pieces fit a Western XS to S only.
