Frequently asked questions
Where is a clothing size chart for plus sizes?
Women's plus usually starts around US 14 (Women's US 14 ≈ UK 18 / EU 46: bust 102 cm, waist 87 cm, hip 110 cm (international reference—brands vary).). Use the quick answers and US 14+ tables below, or open Plus mode in the top converter.
What is US size 18 in plus size clothing?
Women's US 18 ≈ UK 22 / EU 50: bust 108 cm, waist 93 cm, hip 116 cm (international reference—brands vary). Many US tags put size 18 near 2X—confirm the brand chart.
What is XXXL or XXXXL in plus size clothing?
XXXL and XXXXL (sometimes 4XL) are extended letter sizes. On our men's international table, XXXL is about chest 116 cm / waist 101 cm (EU 56). Brands do not share one map—prefer cm. Women's US 22–24 often sits near 3X/XXXXL territory, approximate only.
How do I convert UK size to EU clothing?
Read across the same row: women's UK 22 ≈ EU 50 (US 18) on this chart. Do not add a fixed number without checking bust/waist/hip cm.
How do I find plus size clothing for men?
Men's plus is usually sold as XXL, XXXL, or 4XL. Measure chest and waist in cm, then use the men's XXL–XXXL section below (and Nike XXL–4XL rows when relevant). Height alone is not enough.
What about petite plus or tall plus sizes?
Petite plus and tall plus change sleeve/inseam and rise more than bust/waist/hip. Use the same cm for circumference, then pick petite/tall length lines on the brand chart—do not only size up or down by number.
How do I find my plus size shirt size?
Measure bust or chest in centimeters around the fullest part, then match the plus size shirt table below (women US 14+ bust, men XXL–XXXL chest). For S–XL letter tees, also use the shirt size chart. Brand plus labels (1X, 2X) vary—prefer cm.
How do I find my plus size pants size?
Measure waist and hip in centimeters (and inseam for length). Match waist/hip on the plus size pants table below or use the pants size chart for W×L and international labels. Letter codes like XXL vary by brand—prefer cm over the label alone.
How do US numeric sizes compare to 1X and 2X?
Roughly, many US brands map about US 14–16 toward 1X and US 18–20 toward 2X, but this is approximate. Brand lasts differ—prefer body measurements and the brand's own plus chart.
Where is the kids or baby clothing size chart?
Kids and baby clothes use age/height charts, not women's US 14+. Open the kids size chart hub for clothing by height and kids shoes—then measure the child rather than guessing from age alone.
