Formula
US = UK - 4; EU = UK + 28; FR = UK + 30; IT = UK + 32 (women's dresses, typical size chart offsets)Understanding Women's Clothing Size Conversion
Women's clothing sizes are not standardized worldwide. Each country uses its own numbering, but for dresses and tops most size charts line up with fixed offsets: a UK size 10 is a US 6, an EU 38, a French 40 and an Italian 42. These offsets are a convenient starting point. Garments from different brands, and from different decades, can fit a size apart even inside one country.
Tips and Best Practices
- 1Use bust, waist and hip measurements against the brand's chart rather than only the converted number.
- 2Check the garment's fabric: stretch fabrics fit differently from woven ones.
- 3When between sizes, read recent customer reviews about whether a brand runs small or large.
Real-World Example

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming the same size number fits the same in every brand.
- Ordering by the number alone without checking measurements.
- Applying women's offsets to men's sizes.
