ZOVOX Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I hope there's some nice ladies from the u.k on this forum who can help this fella out: I wish to purchase a dress for my thai wife, and she says that she is a size 'M', which i assume means medium. What would be the equivalent u.k dress size for an asian size 'M' ? I've had farang girlfriends in the past, and i'm guessing that it is a size 10, but i thought i'd better check with the experts. Also, i believe american dress sizes are different - anybody know the u.s dress size equivalent ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i believe american dress sizes are different - anybody know the u.s dress size equivalent ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm generaly a size M here and it's about a 10-12 UK size, U.S sizes are one below UK sizes so 10-12 is 8-10 in the U.S, (Or so it seems to have worked out for me!) Thing is buying dresses is for someone else is a bit harder as you have bust and hip size to consider too. If you can play it safe and buy her a top or trousers rather than a dress I'd go for that option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Agreed, also manufacturers vary widely. I can wear anything from a US 8 to a US 12. go figure. Your best bet would be to get her measurements; bust, waist, hips and measure the dress from there. Good luck, it is really hard buying clothes for oneself these days as, I said before, the sizes vary so widely. I would guess it will be even harder for someone not there! When I go shopping in the US I end up taking at least 2 sizes of the same thing. Most annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Zovox: I need to echo SBK on this one. There is very wide variation here, so it is hard to know correct size. I am generally an Asian size M, but wear a size 3 in UK size (if British India counts). To be honest, I don't really know what American size I am anymore. But I think it would be somewhere between a size 4-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
