International Clothing Sizing Explained
When shopping for dresses, blouses, and coats, it's important to remember that a UK size 8 can vary significantly when translated to US. European sizes often use a numbering system that is about 30 units higher than US sizes (e.g., US 6 is EU 36), while Japanese and Asian sizes generally run smaller and narrower than Western standards. Always check the specific brand's measurements when possible, as "vanity sizing" is common in many modern retail chains.
