kristy.leigh.b Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi, just wondered if anyone can help with this query. Am I right in thinking that women's clothes sizing is different in australia than in the uk? For example, if I was a size 10 in the uk, would I be size 12 over here? I've been and bought some clothes today and they seem a bit small and when I've looked online it says that I should be buying the next size up over here. Is this right? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give me a break! Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) It's the other way round. A size 12 in the UK would be a 10 here but it's not rocket science cheap shops can have sizing that is way out! This ones from Next Direct. Edited March 16, 2014 by Give me a break!

lozzachino Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I thought they were the same! Woohoo apparently i have gone down a size! Not according to the clothes i have been buying here though, i would say its the same, depending on the shop of course. Same as the uk really, some shops you will be a ten, others a twelve. Doesn't help for online shopping though. What is up with bra sizes here though! Need to work them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamai Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Some shops I have been in show the uk size and the Aus size, they have always correlated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 In the shops, at least, they are the same. I've bought quite a few new things since being here and am buying the same size as I did in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
