Size Guide
This is a general conversion guide. Many of our brands have their own size guide, which shows on the product page where we have one, and brands do not always agree with each other, so treat this as a starting point.
Women's clothing
| UK | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EU | 34 | 36 | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 |
| Italian | 38 | 40 | 42 | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 |
| US | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 |

Danish and Italian brands do not always line up. For example, Skall Studio puts Italian 40 at a UK 8 while Baum und Pferdgarten puts Italian 42 at a UK 8. If you are between two sizes, convert from your bust, waist and hip in centimetres.
