Clothing Size Converter

Type your body measurements and see the corresponding clothing size in BR, EU, US and UK — with the full chart on screen.

How to use

  1. Choose the sizing chart — women's or men's — and type your bust or chest measurement. Waist and hip are optional but help when the three do not land on the same row.
  2. Compare the conversion across regions: international letter size, BR, EU, US and UK numeric sizes appear side by side in the results table.
  3. Open the full chart below to see every row side by side and check whether your measurements sit at the edge of a size.

About this tool

A clothing size is a label a brand chose, not a measurement. The number 40 on a Brazilian tag means whatever that brand decided it means, and no law or standard says otherwise. The ABNT publishes reference body measurements, but they standardise the person, not the garment, and compliance is voluntary — which is why two Brazilian M shirts can be cut for bodies five centimetres apart. This converter does what it honestly can: it takes the one objective input — your body measurements in centimetres — and maps it to the label most brands would use.

The chart works with three measurements: bust or chest, waist and hip, all in centimetres or inches. Tops follow the bust or chest, bottoms follow the hip, and a full-body garment like a dress follows the largest of the three. When the three land on different rows, the page says so explicitly, because that is the real answer: bodies are not one number, and pretending otherwise is how online orders get returned. The BR, EU, US and UK columns are the correspondences in common use across Brazilian retail; they are stable enough to narrow the search, and too unstable to guarantee a fit.

Everything runs in your browser. Your measurements are not uploaded, stored or shared, and the page works offline once loaded. The chart is assembled from the averages published by Brazilian retailers and cross-referenced with international correspondence tables — no single source is authoritative, because no single authority exists. Vanity sizing, seasonal cuts, stretch fabrics and plus-size lines all move the real number. The page exists to get you from a tape measure to a shortlist, not to replace the brand chart or the fitting room.

Frequently asked questions

Are clothing sizes standardised?

Not in practice. Brazil's ABNT publishes reference body measurements, but they are voluntary and define the person, not the garment. Brands set their own size charts, which is why a 40 from one label can be a 42 from another.

Do my measurements leave my browser?

No. The converter runs entirely in JavaScript on your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.

What if my bust and hip land on different sizes?

That is normal and the page says so. Tops follow the bust or chest, bottoms follow the hip. For a dress, go by the largest measurement and have the rest adjusted if needed.

Why is the US size so different from the BR size?

US women's sizes start at 0 and the scale is shifted. The correspondence is approximately BR minus 34: BR 40 is roughly US 6. Men's sizes are closer because both use chest inches.

Can I trust these sizes for online shopping abroad?

Use them to narrow the search, then check the brand chart. International correspondences shift by a full size depending on the brand, and the only reliable path is comparing centimetres against the brand's own measurements.
