Clothing Converters
Clothing and shoe sizes are not standardized between countries, so a size 8 can mean very different things depending on where the garment was made. The converters in this section translate US sizes into UK and European equivalents for shoes, dresses, jackets and bras. Because sizing is a convention rather than a measurement, treat each result as a starting point, compare it with the retailer's own chart and, whenever possible, measure yourself.

Tips for buying clothes and shoes across countries
- Measure first. Body measurements in centimeters or inches are the same everywhere, unlike size labels.
- Use the brand chart. A brand's own chart always beats a general conversion.
- Read the reviews. Shoppers often mention if a product runs small or large.
- Check the return policy. International returns can be costly, so confirm before you buy.
