Key Points
- Size Conversion: The table provides conversions between US, UK, and EU sizes, making it easier to shop internationally14.
- Measurements: Bust, waist, and hip measurements are given in inches, which are crucial for finding the right fit24.
- International Sizing: The table includes corresponding international sizes (XXS to 2XL) for easy reference13.
- Variability: It's important to note that sizes may vary slightly between brands, so always check the specific brand's size chart when available1.
- Fit: When choosing a size, consider your body measurements rather than relying solely on the numerical size4.
- Plus Sizes: US sizes 14 and up are often considered plus sizes, though this can vary by brand2.
Additional Considerations
- Vanity Sizing: Some brands may use vanity sizing, where sizes are labeled smaller than actual measurements to flatter customers2.
- Trying On: Whenever possible, it's best to try on clothing before purchasing, as fit can vary even within the same size due to different cuts and styles.
- Measurements: For the most accurate fit, take your own measurements and compare them to the brand's size chart rather than relying on your usual size.
Remember that this table provides general guidelines, and individual fit may vary based on body shape, brand, and garment style
