How it is calculated

  • Measurements are converted to inches, and room is added for your preferred fit: snug −0.5, fitted 0, relaxed +1, oversized +2
  • Each size in a standard chart is scored by the total gap between your measurements and the chart’s
  • The size with the smallest gap is recommended, and the sizes on either side are shown as alternatives
  • Women: UK and Australia = US + 4, EU = US + 32, Japan = US + 3
  • Men: sized by chest and waist, with the waist counted twice
US (women) Bust (in) Waist (in) Hips (in)
4 34 26 36.5
8 36 28 38.5
12 38.5 30.5 41
16 41.5 33.5 44

For shoes, use the shoe size converter. For bras, use the bra size calculator.

Worked example

Bust 36 in, waist 28 in, hips 38 in, fitted:

  • Closest size: US 8 (bust and waist match, hips 0.5 in roomy)
  • UK 12, EU 40, Australia 12, Japan 11
  • Also try US 6 or US 10

Why your size may differ

Every brand and style has its own chart. Designer labels and Asian brands often run small. Always compare your measurements with the brand’s own size chart before buying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure myself for clothes?

Wear thin clothing and keep the tape level. Measure the bust or chest at the fullest part, the waist at the narrowest part and the hips at the fullest part, usually 18 to 23 cm below the waist.

How do I convert a US size to UK and EU?

For women's dresses, the UK and Australian size is the US size plus 4, and the EU size is the US size plus 32. A US 8 is a UK 12 and an EU 40.

What if my measurements fall between two sizes?

Pick the size that fits your largest measurement, or try the alternative sizes shown. Stretchy fabrics allow the smaller size.

Why do Asian brands run small?

Many brands from China, Korea and Malaysia cut for a smaller build, so most people go one letter size up.
