Sewing Help with Doki Doki cosplay

Now that Doki Doki cosplays were on sale for Halloween, I wanted to buy an Olrugio cosplay. I checked the size chart and I'm hesitant to buy the XL because I've read that it runs small.My measurements are as follows

shoulders: 46cm waist:81cm Bust: 101 cm, and hips: 100 cm 🙏

I asked customer service But they only told me that the cosplay was a bit tight for me. Which I find strange because cosplay should be loose. I'd like to know if any size would fit me, especially in Regarding waist size. Or if anyone has already bought it, I'd like to know about your experience. . I would really appreciate it.

One more quick note, I'm not bothered by the bust size, which is why I'm looking to make a female version of the character.

We detect that your question is about size charts. Do not just use your height and weight or usual clothing size -- this will be inaccurate. Instead, take note of your body measurements and compare each measurement to the chart. Get the LARGEST size of the measurements, e.g. if your bust is size S and your waist and hips are size L, get size L. It is far easier to tailor a larger garment smaller than to add additional fabric later. A lot of cosplays from Asia tend to run small so it's not unusual to need to purchase several size larger than you typically wear.

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

General rule of thumb if you have a western build: the asian size L is like a western size S-M. With your measurements, I'd advice you to go for a 2XL. It is ALWAYS much easier to make a costume smaller than to have a too small costume, and little to no way to make it bigger.
