Clothing and shoe sizing is not globally standardized. A size "Medium" in the US can be very different from a Medium in Europe or Japan. Even within the same country, brands use different measurements. Factors like manufacturing templates, target customer body shapes, and "vanity sizing" (making clothes seem smaller than they are) create these inconsistencies. Our converter helps bridge this gap by providing approximate equivalents across major international systems (US, UK, EU, Japan, Korea, China), making online shopping less of a guessing game.
Our tool currently converts between common sizing systems for the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Europe (EU), Japan (JP), Korea (KR), and China (CN) for various clothing items (including dresses) and shoes for men, women, and children. You can use it for conversions like **eu shoe size to us**, or find equivalents for various apparel types. We aim to provide comprehensive **sizing charts shoes** and clothing data. Note: Not all conversions are available for every single item type and region combination due to data limitations.
This converter provides general estimates based on common conversion charts. It's a great starting point! However, because brands have unique sizing variations, the most accurate size will always be found by checking the specific brand's size chart on their product page or website, especially if you have your body measurements. Use our tool for quick reference, but always double-check with the vendor if fit is critical.
While our tool converts sizes (like US 8 to EU 38), knowing your basic measurements significantly improves accuracy when using brand-specific charts. Key measurements include:
Use a flexible tape measure for accuracy.
The converter uses standard charts which may not fully reflect extreme cases of vanity sizing by individual brands. Vanity sizing (where clothes are labeled smaller than their actual measurements) is more common in certain regions (like the US/UK) and contributes to the need for tools like this. If you suspect a brand uses vanity sizing, relying on your measurements and their specific chart is even more important.
Children's sizing often uses age (e.g., 6M, 4T, 8Y) or height/weight references. Different regions have different standards (e.g., European and Japanese sizes often relate directly to height in cm). Our converter includes common conversions for baby and children's clothing and shoes based on these typical systems, but remember that children grow quickly and vary in build, so always check brand charts when possible.
A "-" means a direct equivalent size is not listed in our specific conversion table for that item/system combination. If a system (e.g., "Korea") doesn't appear in a dropdown for a specific item on the converter, it means we don't have reliable conversion data for that specific combination in our current dataset. In these cases, refer directly to the vendor's website or contact their customer support.
Yes, our converter tool includes conversions specifically for women's dresses. You can select "Female" and then "Dresses" from the item type dropdown to see the relevant **dress size chart for ladies** and convert between different international sizing systems (US, UK, EU, Japan, Korea, China where available). Remember to compare these general conversions with the specific brand's chart for the most accurate fit.
