## How to use this tool

1. Measure your bust, waist and hip, and choose inches or centimetres.
2. Enter all three measurements.
3. Read your recommended size and its India, US, UK and EU equivalents.
4. If your three measurements fall in different sizes, the tool will say so. A custom-stitched outfit is the best fit in that case.

## Dress size chart

| India | US | UK | EU | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Hip (in) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| XS | 2 | 6 | 34 | 32 | 25 | 35 |

| L | 8 | 12 | 40 | 38 | 31 | 41 |
| XL | 10 | 14 | 42 | 40 | 33 | 43 |
| XXL | 12 | 16 | 44 | 42 | 35 | 45 |
| 3XL | 14 | 18 | 46 | 44 | 37 | 47 |

## How the recommendation is made

The converter finds the size for each of your three measurements and recommends the largest of them. A dress that is too tight is harder to correct than one that is slightly loose. If your bust, waist and hip fall more than one size apart, it flags that standard sizing will not fit you evenly.

## Why sizes differ between brands

There is no single global standard. Indian labels often size by bust, while US and UK labels use numbers that relate to bust, waist and hip together. Fabric stretch and fit style change things further, so treat the chart as a guide and compare it with the garment measurements where a seller provides them.

## When custom stitching is the better choice

- Your measurements span two or more sizes.
- You are between sizes and do not want to compromise on fit.
- You want a structured style such as a corset dress, mermaid gown or ball gown.
- You need the outfit made for a specific event or fabric.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a US 6 in Indian dress size?

A US 6 is roughly an Indian size M, which corresponds to a 36 inch bust, a 29 inch waist and a 39 inch hip.

### What is the difference between UK and US dress sizes?

UK sizes run four numbers higher than US sizes at the same measurements, so a US 6 is a UK 10.

### What if my bust and hip are different sizes?

Choose the larger size for a loose fit, or have the outfit made to measure. Custom stitching suits a body whose measurements fall in different size bands.

### Are these sizes exact for every brand?

No. Brands size differently, so use the chart as a guide and compare your own measurements with the garment measurements provided.

### Can Prernaa’s stitch dresses and gowns to measure?

Yes. Corset dresses, ball and mermaid gowns, bodycon and party dresses are made to your measurements, with a trial fitting before the outfit is finished.
