Note that many Australian and European clothing merchants have adopted the U.S. systems.

Also note that some suppliers have their own special sizing systems.

Bra Sizes (Measuring)

The system used in North America and the U.K. is not standardised, and there are large variations between manufacturers. Europe has a number of systems, with the EU system (based on the French system) becoming the standard.

Bra Band Size

Methods of calculating this vary a little, but the most common (for U.K. and North America) is the following: Measure around the torso just below the bust (in inches). If the measurement is an odd number, then add five inches to obtain the bra band size. If the measurement is an even number, then add four inches. For example, if the under-bust measurement was either 45 or 46 inches, then your bra size would be 50 inches.

For European bra band sizing, measure under the bust (unterbrustweite/dessous de poitrine) in centimetres. For many countries outside France (including Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany) this measurement gives the bra size. For France and standard EU sizing, add 15cm to this measurement (dessous de poitrine + 15cm) to obtain the bra size.

Cup Size

Measure your bust around its fullest part. Subtract your bra band size from your bust measurement and then find the cup size from a bra size table, such as the one shown below. This is where manufacturers vary considerably, more so at larger cup sizes.

Hosiery Sizes

Sizing of hosiery takes into account both height and weight. The greater your height, the lower the weight that a given size of hosiery will fit. When viewing charts, allowances need to be made if your hips/legs are large or small in build in relation to the rest of your figure. Some manufacturers have their own size charts. Here is an approximate guide:

Queen Size = Plus Size = 1-3X: Approx. 170-200lbs (75-90kg) and 5' 2" to 6' (158-183cm) tall.

Queen 2 = 3/4X: Approx. 185-250lbs (85-115kg) and 5' 6" to 6' (168-183cm) tall.
Queen 3 = 5/6X

"Levee" tights: Size 5, approx. 170-210lbs (75-95kg) and 5' to 6' 1" (152-185cm) tall.
"Levee" tights: Size 6, approx. 200-270lbs (90-120kg) and 5' 3" to 6' 4" (152-193cm) tall.

"Levee" stockings: 4X = 44-46" (112-117cm) hips
"Levee" stockings: 5X = 48-50" (122-127cm) hips
"Levee" stockings: 6X = 52-54" (132-137cm) hips
"Levee" stockings: 7X = 56-58" (142-147cm) hips
"Levee" stockings: 8X = 58-60" (147-152cm) hips

"Cette" tights: Large = 48-53" (122-135cm) hips
"Cette" tights: XLarge = 53-57" (135-145cm) hips
"Cette" tights: XXLarge = 57-60" (145-152cm) hips

Ladies' Shoe Widths

Here is a list of shoe-width designations, starting from the narrowest, AAAA (note that different manufacturers' charts vary, and men's sizing may also differ from the ladies' width charts):

AAAA = 4A
AAA = 3A
AA = 2A = N = Narrow
A
B = M = Medium
C = MW = Medium-Wide
D = W = Wide
E
EE = 2E = WW = EW = XW = Extra-Wide
EEE = 3E
EEEE = 4E
EEEEE = 5E
EEEEEE = 6E
EEEEEEE = 7E

The table below shows the width in inches of the foot for several combinations of USA shoe size and width designations. This is only an approximate guide since different manufacturers' sizes vary:

	US Size	9	10	11	12	13	14
Width
B (M)		3.6	3.75	3.9	4	4.1	4.25
C		3.8	3.95	4.1	4.2	4.3	4.45
