Navigating European clothing sizes may seem intimidating at first, but with some research and trial-and-error you’re bound to find your perfect match! Use the Women Clothing US to International Size Conversion Chart as an aid when shopping with confidence.
An accurate size guide is an indispensable resource for shoppers from various demographics. A well-written sizing guide provides users with accurate measurements as well as tips on how to measure themselves accurately.
How to Measure
As an e-commerce business that sells globally, it’s crucial that shoppers have a clear sizing guide when browsing your products. Without one, customers could become uncertain and end up returning or exchanging for another size–both costly for your brand. In order to reduce return rates and support tickets from US shoppers, retailers like Farfetch have created helpful size charts containing measurements specific to that product and outline this measurement in US units.
This chart provides a quick conversion between American, British, Italian, French and European sizes for women’s clothing such as dresses, coats, blouses and sweaters. Additionally, the chart compares men’s pants sizes between UK/England/Italy/France as well as German, Belgium and Dutch sizes.
For accurate chest, waist, and hip measurements, always measure around the slimmest part of your torso. When taking measurements for sleeves length and wrist width starting just above elbow crease and moving towards wrist. When taking inseam measurements stand up straight with bent over waist then using tape measure from where you want your pants to sit to where they sit on slimmest part (see illustration above).
For accurate measurements, try using a flexible measuring tape with clear markings that is soft yet flexible enough to wrap comfortably around your body and snug without feeling restrictive or uncomfortable. When measuring torso measurements, try wearing loose clothing that fits you well – this will ensure true fits that provide accurate readings. You may be able to find instructions for specific items and brands either online through their respective manufacturer’s websites or printed directly on woven labels or hang tags of products you are buying.
Measuring Tips
Ensure a perfect fit when purchasing European clothing by using appropriate measurements techniques. This will prevent any hassle-inducing returns or exchanges in the future.
European clothing sizes tend to run slightly smaller than US sizes; for instance, an American women’s size 8 might be equivalent to 38 in European sizing charts. When shopping for European clothes it is essential that you take time and care when taking measurements and consulting the brand’s sizing chart.
Finding your European size can be accomplished in several ways. One way is to take measurements such as chest, waist and hip circumference and compare this information against size charts of clothing items you are interested in purchasing – this should give a good indication of which size to buy.
For shoes, it is usually easiest to measure the length of your foot by holding it up against a wall and marking where it meets the floor with a pencil. This will provide an accurate representation of your shoe size and help ensure you select an appropriate European size.
Note that charts aren’t completely reliable, so always try on garments before buying them. This is particularly important with dresses and skirts where spotting tight fits may be difficult based on reading labels alone. Also keep in mind that shoe sizing varies by manufacturer and style – try on your favorite shoes first before selecting a size to avoid any surprises later if the shoe doesn’t fit as expected; this applies especially if purchasing high-end brands like Gucci, Jimmy Choo or A.P.C that might use different sizing systems than mainstream brands would.
