Understanding International Dress Sizes

Dress sizing varies significantly across countries and regions. The United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia each use their own numbering system. While none of these systems are perfectly standardized (brands can and do vary), the general conversion formulas are well-established and widely accepted. This tool uses the standard conversion table to help you shop internationally with confidence.

How Conversions Work

US and UK women's dress sizes use the same numbers — a US 8 is a UK 8. Australian sizes also follow the UK system closely. European (EU) sizes use a different scale: add 28 to a US/UK size to get the EU equivalent. So a US 8 becomes EU 36, US 10 becomes EU 38, and so on. These conversions apply to standard women's dress, skirt, and coat sizes. Pants and jeans may use different conversion tables.

Tips for Shopping Internationally

Always check the brand's specific size chart when available, as vanity sizing means a size 8 at one brand may fit differently than a size 8 at another. When ordering online from international retailers, use this converter as a starting point and look for detailed body measurement guides.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do US and UK dress sizes compare?

US and UK women's dress sizes are typically the same number. A US size 8 is the same as a UK size 8. However, this can vary slightly between brands.

How do I convert US to EU dress sizes?

Add 28 to the US size to get the approximate EU size. For example, US size 8 converts to EU size 36. US size 10 converts to EU size 38.

Are Australian and UK sizes the same?

Australian dress sizes are typically the same as UK sizes. A UK 10 is also an AU 10. Some Australian brands may have slight variations.

Why do sizes vary between brands?

Sizing is not standardized across the fashion industry. Each brand creates its own size charts based on their target customer. This is why the same person might wear different sizes in different brands, a phenomenon known as vanity sizing.
