International Clothing Size Conversion Guide
Remember that, even with these charts, clothing from different manufacturers will fit differently.
Many of our items are marked ‘freesize’ or ‘one-size’ and will fit UK 6 8 10. This is because many of the items we buy are made especially for us, using stretchy fabrics and ‘cut on the cross’ to give excellent fit to several sizes and shapes.
