Size Guide

Use real measurements, not guesswork.

This guide uses published womenswear size charts as a practical reference. Sizing still varies by brand and cut, so choose every size that usually fits and add notes when a garment runs differently on you.

Reference chart

Women’s clothing sizes in UK, US, inches, and centimeters.

Use this as a guide for the Get Styled form. The measurement ranges below combine the ASOS womenswear chart for UK/US conversion and body measurements, with an activewear-style alpha reference where needed for XS-XL ranges.

How To Measure

Measure close to the body, keep the tape level, and do not pull it tight.

AreaHow to measure
BustMeasure around the fullest part of your bust and across the shoulder blades.
WaistMeasure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.
HipsStand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Inside leg / inseamMeasure from the top of the inside leg at the crotch down to the ankle bone or preferred hem.

UK To US Number Sizes

The Get Styled form uses numbers like 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and plus/curve labels. These are closest to US numbers in the chart below.

Letter Sizes XS To XL

Use this for top, dress, and general clothing sizes. In ASOS conversion, UK XL is UK 20 and roughly US L; many US brands label similar ranges as XL, so select based on measurements.

Bottoms And Denim

Denim numbers like 24-32 usually refer to approximate waist size in inches. Use hips too, because denim fit depends on both waist and seat.

Plus And Curve Sizes

The form includes 1X, 2X, 3X and 14W-20W. “W” sizes are women’s/curve cuts and usually allow more room through bust, waist, hips, and upper arm than the same straight-size number.

Bra Band And Cup

Band sizes such as 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 are inch-based band labels in UK/US sizing. Cup letters compare bust and underbust difference.
