Basic Clothing Size Conversion Charts:

These charts are intended as a starting point for approximate clothing size conversion. We do not guarantee that they are exact. Buying clothes in a foreign country is always risky; body proportion vary between cultures, and sizes may vary by manufacturer and even within the same clothing line. These charts are approximations only. Because of the many discrepancies between sizing systems and the differences between manufacturers, it is never a good idea to buy clothes based solely on these conversions. The buyer will have to rely on their own best judgement. Whenever possible try things on. Check a store's return policy before buying.
