I'd say "it only reaches my belly button."

Is "fall on" possible or any other verb? Do I write size bigger or bigger size?

Not sure what you're asking, Anon.

"It only falls on my belly button" would not be a natural thing to say.

I've heard people say, "It only comes down to my belly button."

"I need a bigger size" is common.

"Could I try a shirt which is one size bigger?" This is common. (or "two sizes bigger, etc.")
