Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert an Indian dress size to US or EU?
- India follows UK numbering for women’s clothing, so an Indian 10 is a UK 10, a US 6 and an EU 38. Pick any size in the converter above and the rest fill in, including Italy and France, with the bust and waist in centimetres so you can sanity check the fit.
- Is Indian clothing sizing the same as UK?
- For women’s ready to wear, yes, India largely follows UK numeric sizing. For men’s shirts and jackets, India uses the same chest number as the UK and US (a 40 is a 40), while the EU number is ten higher (an EU 50).
- Why are body measurements more reliable than a size label?
- A label size like M or 10 shifts between brands and countries, but your bust, waist, hip and chest in centimetres do not. For castings, fittings and made to measure work, give the centimetre figures. Use the size label only as a quick cross reference.
- What size should I put on my model size sheet?
- List your real body measurements in centimetres (height, bust, waist, hips, plus dress and shoe size). If a client works in US or EU labels, convert with this tool, but keep the centimetre figures as the source of truth on your card.
