How It Works
How to Find Your Dress Size from Measurements
Dress size estimates are primarily based on bust, waist, and hip measurements. This calculator compares the measurements you enter with a general US dress size chart and provides approximate UK and EU conversions. Because sizing varies between brands, the result should be used as a starting point rather than a guaranteed garment size.
Step 1 — Measure yourself
Use a soft measuring tape to measure your bust or chest, waist, and hips. Stand naturally and keep the tape level without pulling it tightly. Take each measurement consistently so the results can be compared with the size chart.
Step 2 — Enter measurements
Select inches or centimeters, choose the dress type, and enter your bust, waist, and hip measurements. Height and weight are optional and are not used as the primary basis for the dress-size estimate.
Step 3 — Get your size estimate
The calculator compares your measurements with the size chart used by this tool and provides an estimated US, UK, and EU size. Treat the result as a general guide and check the specific brand's size chart before purchasing.

Special Dress Types
Wedding Dress, Prom Dress, Plus Size and Dress Shirt Sizing
Dress sizing can vary by garment type, designer, and brand. These guidelines explain some common differences between regular, wedding, prom, plus-size, and dress-shirt sizing.
Wedding Dress Size Calculator
Bridal sizing can differ from regular clothing sizes and varies by designer. Use your bust, waist, and hip measurements with the specific bridal brand's size chart rather than assuming your usual clothing size. If your measurements fall into different size ranges, the largest measurement may require the most attention, with alterations often used to adjust the fit.
Prom Dress Size Calculator
Prom dress sizing varies by designer, style, and fit. Fitted or structured dresses depend more closely on bust, waist, and hip measurements, while looser silhouettes may allow more room. Use this calculator as a starting estimate and compare your measurements with the designer's official size chart before ordering.
Plus Size Dress Calculator
Plus-size sizing varies by brand. Measure your bust, waist, and hips carefully and compare them with the specific brand's plus-size chart. This calculator provides a general starting estimate, but formalwear and specialty brands may use different size ranges.
Dress Shirt Size (Men's)
Men's dress shirt sizing is different from women's dress sizing. Neck circumference is commonly used for collar size, while chest, shoulder, and sleeve measurements help determine the overall fit. Use the specific brand's dress-shirt size chart for the final size, especially for fitted shirts.
Height, Weight and Dress Size
Dress Size Calculator by Height and Weight
Height and weight alone are not reliable enough to determine dress size — but they can give useful context alongside your measurements.
Why measurements are more accurate
Two people with the same height and weight can have different body proportions and therefore different dress sizes. Bust, waist, and hip measurements provide more direct information for comparing your proportions with a dress size chart, while height and weight alone cannot capture these differences.
When height and weight help
Height can provide additional context for petite, regular, or tall garment proportions, although the height ranges used by brands can differ. Weight alone does not provide enough information to determine a dress size because it does not describe bust, waist, or hip proportions. When possible, use your actual measurements and the brand's size chart.
Body Shape & Dress Fit
Dress Styles for Your Body Shape
