How this size calculator women tool works

Shopping online is easier when you start with accurate body measurements. This women's size calculator uses your bust, waist, and hip values to estimate your likely clothing size. You can instantly switch between US, UK, EU, and international letter sizing to compare labels across stores.

Because brand cuts vary, this result should be used as a starting point. For best results, compare the output with each retailer's specific size chart and product fit notes (slim fit, relaxed fit, stretch fabric, etc.).

How to measure correctly

1) Bust

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level around your back.

2) Waist

Measure your natural waistline (usually the narrowest point above your navel and below your rib cage).

3) Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat while standing with feet together.

4) Height (optional)

Height helps with length guidance. In many brands:

• Petite: generally under 160 cm (about 5'3")
• Regular: roughly 160-170 cm (about 5'3" to 5'7")
• Tall: generally above 170 cm (about 5'7")

Choosing the right fit for different clothing types

Tops and blouses

Prioritize bust and shoulder room. If you are between sizes and fabric has no stretch, size up for easier movement.

Jeans, pants, and skirts

Prioritize waist and hips. A perfect waist with tight hips usually means discomfort while sitting. Choose the size that accommodates hips, then adjust the waist with a belt or tailoring.

Dresses

Dresses typically require balance across all three measurements. This calculator reports a dress estimate based on the largest measurement so your garment stays comfortable.

Final tips before you buy

• Always check the brand-specific chart on the product page.
• Read reviews for comments like "runs small" or "oversized fit."
• Check fabric composition; elastane/spandex adds flexibility.
• When in doubt between two sizes, order both if free returns are available.
• Re-measure every few months, especially after major lifestyle or fitness changes.
