Dress Size Calculation:
| From: | To: |
Dress size calculation estimates clothing size based on body measurements including bust, waist, and hip circumference. Different brands and regions may use slightly different sizing standards, but this calculator provides a general estimation.
The calculator uses a standardized formula:
Where:
Explanation: The algorithm calculates an average of the three measurements and converts this to standard dress sizes using industry-standard conversion tables.
Details: Taking precise body measurements is crucial for determining correct dress size. Ill-fitting clothing can be uncomfortable and unflattering. Always measure without bulky clothing and ensure the tape measure is level around your body.
Tips: Enter your bust, waist, and hip measurements in centimeters. For best results, have someone help you take these measurements while standing naturally. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: Why do dress sizes vary between brands?
A: Different brands use different fit models and sizing standards, which is why it's always best to consult specific brand size charts when shopping.
Q2: How often should I remeasure myself?
A: Your measurements can change due to weight fluctuations, exercise, or other factors. It's recommended to remeasure every 3-6 months or before purchasing special occasion clothing.
Q3: What's the proper way to measure bust/waist/hips?
A: Bust: fullest part of chest; Waist: narrowest part of torso; Hips: fullest part around buttocks. Keep tape parallel to floor and snug but not tight.
Q4: Are there different sizing standards internationally?
A: Yes, sizing varies significantly between countries (US, UK, EU, etc.). This calculator provides a general estimation that may need adjustment for specific international sizing.
Q5: What if my measurements fall between sizes?
A: If your measurements indicate different sizes for different areas, choose based on your largest measurement or consider garments with more flexible fit or tailoring options.
