Dress Size Chart, European

Most women love dresses! But make sure they fit well - bad fitting dresses are not comfortable wearing, and they don´t look good either. Let us help you find your right dress size...

How to Measure Dress Size?

To determine your European dress size, you need to measure your Waist, Hips (Seat) and Bust. But don´t worry, measuring is easy. See illustration and guide below.

EU Dress Size Chart

Bust: Measure circumference around the bust at the fullest part. Use a flexible measuring tape, and keep it parallel with the floor.

Waist: Measure your body around your natural waistline. Your waistline is usually above your belly button (narrowest part of torso). Not sure where you waistline is? Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in torso on this side.

Hips (seat): Measure circumference around your hips (seat) at the fullest part.

Dress Length

What about dress length? There are several different standard dress length styles, which all are suitable for different occasions. See our Dress Length Guide to learn more about dress length, and see how different dress lengths look (illustrated).

Petite/Tall Size Chart

Dress length is 'standard' or 'regular' if the size label doesn't say anything else. Standard/regular length is the right choice for women with body height between 160 and 175 cm. For shorter or taller women, sizes 'petite' or 'Long'/'tall' are recommended. See chart below for more information:

Body Height	SIZE Name	SIZE Action
< 160	Petite (Short)	Dresses 5-10 cm shorter in length (usually 5 cm for short dresses (minis) and 5-10 cm for long dresses)
160-175	Regular/Standard
> 175	Tall (Long)	Dresses 10-15 cm longer (usually 10 cm for short dresses (minis) and up to 15 cm for long dresses)
