UK Dress Sizes
Dress sizes on our site (8, 10, 12, 14...etc) are UK dress sizes. The following table gives approximate dress size for various waist, hip, and bust measurements.
To find your measurements:
Bust - measure under your arms, around the fullest part of
the bust.
Waist - measure around your natural waistline, being the
smallest part.
Hips - measure around the fullest (largest) part of your hip.
To convert from a US dress size to a UK dress size just add 4 to the US dress size. This means that, for example, a US dress size of 4 equals a UK dress size of 8.
