Dress Size Converter – US, UK, EU & International
Convert women's dress sizes between US, UK, EU, FR/ES, IT, and AU/NZ instantly.
How Dress Sizes Differ Across Countries
Dress sizing is not standardized globally. The US system uses even numbers (0–20), while EU sizes are roughly 28 numbers higher. UK sizing is 4 below US. A US 8 = EU 36 = UK 12 = FR/ES 40 = IT 44 = AU/NZ 12.
Always check brand-specific size charts as they can vary by 1–2 sizes.
Dress Size Conversion Chart
Key conversions: US 0 = EU 28 = UK 4. US 8 = EU 36 = UK 12. US 12 = EU 40 = UK 16. US 16 = EU 44 = UK 20.
For plus sizes, the same offsets apply. Many European brands size more generously, so you may need a smaller EU size than the formula suggests.
Measuring for the Best Fit
Size numbers are approximations. For best results, measure your bust, waist, and hips in centimeters or inches and compare against brand size charts directly.
Standard guidelines: Bust determines dress size in most systems. Waist is typically 25–26 cm smaller than bust. Hips are typically the same as bust or 2–5 cm larger.
