dress size

Fitting room information

Dress size is a numerical or categorical label indicating the dimensions of women's clothing.

Sizes vary by country, brand, and era—a size 8 in the US differs from a UK 8, and today's size 6 might have been a 10 decades ago.

What dress size do you wear?

The inconsistency across manufacturers is notorious, leading to the term vanity sizing for the practice of labeling clothes smaller than they actually measure.
