Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the clothing size converter?

Our converter uses industry-standard size conversion tables and is highly accurate for typical sizing. However, sizes can vary significantly between brands and designers. Always check the specific brand's size chart before making a purchase, as many brands have their own unique sizing.

What's the difference between US and EU clothing sizes?

US sizes typically use numbers (like 2, 4, 6, 8) for women's clothing and XS, S, M, L for unisex items, while EU sizes use European measurements (like 34, 36, 38, 40). EU sizing is generally based on actual body measurements in centimeters, making it more standardized across the continent. A US size 4 typically corresponds to an EU 36.

Can I use these conversions for all clothing types?

Our converter works for common clothing categories including shirts/tops, pants/jeans, and dresses. However, specialty clothing items like swim wear, athletic wear, or plus-size clothing may have different sizing standards. We recommend checking the specific product's size guide when dealing with specialty categories.

Why do conversions sometimes seem off?

"Vanity sizing" is a common industry practice where brands cut their sizes larger or smaller than standards to make customers feel better. Additionally, different fabric types, cut styles, and tailoring techniques affect how a garment fits. Our converter provides standard equivalents—always compare measurements (bust, waist, length) from the brand's size chart for the most accurate fit.

How do UK sizes compare to US sizes?

UK women's sizes are typically 2 numbers smaller than US sizes (UK 6 = US 2, UK 8 = US 4, etc.). For men's clothing, UK shirt sizes are often expressed in inches (36, 38, 40) instead of letters. UK sizing is closer to EU sizing than to US sizing. Use our converter to find exact equivalents for your specific size.

What should I do if I'm between two sizes?

If you fall between sizes, consider the type of garment and your preferences. For fitted items like dresses or formal wear, go with the smaller size for a snug fit. For casual items like t-shirts or sweaters, the larger size offers more comfort. Check customer reviews on the retailer's website—they often mention fit specifics that help with size selection.

Are kids' clothing sizes standardized?

Kids' sizes vary more than adult sizes because children grow at different rates. Many brands use age ranges (2-3 years, 4-5 years) or height-based sizing (110cm, 120cm) in addition to traditional sizes. Always measure your child's height, chest, and length when ordering kids' clothing, and look for the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I return clothes if the converted size doesn't fit?

Most online retailers accept returns within 30 days if the item is unworn and in original condition. Before ordering, check the retailer's return policy. Remember that our converter provides standard equivalents—if a garment doesn't fit perfectly, it's often due to brand-specific sizing rather than converter inaccuracy.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! Our clothing size converter is completely free and requires no registration. It runs in your browser, so there's no need to upload any personal data. Use it as many times as you'd like with no limitations or hidden charges.

How do I know if a size is available in multiple regions?

Select your original region and size using our converter, and it will show the equivalent sizes in all four regions (US, UK, EU, JP). However, availability of specific sizes depends on the individual retailer and product. Our converter only shows size equivalents—always check the retailer's stock before completing your purchase.
