How to measure

  • Bust: around the fullest part, with the tape level across your back and your arms relaxed.
  • Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso; bend to one side to find it.
  • Hips: around the fullest part of your hips, standing with your feet together.
  • Hollow to hem: from the hollow at the base of your neck straight down to where the hem should fall, in your shoes.

These are typical conversions, a rule of thumb rather than a standard every brand follows. Brands cut differently, and bridal and evening designers use their own charts, so your measurements and the brand's chart decide.

Choose a sizing system and your size, or enter your measurements, then select Convert.

How it works

The converter uses a typical international size table: each US size lines up with its UK, EU, French, Italian, Australian and Japanese equivalent and a letter size.

From measurements, each one is matched to the size cut for it, and the largest size any measurement needs is the one to order; a tailor can take the rest in.

These are rules of thumb. Brands and bridal designers use their own charts, so check the chart for the dress you are buying.
