Which size should I choose for women's clothing?

On Opla, a women's clothing size is both a letter and a size number. Pick the one on the label: both mean the same size.

Beyond that, UK sizes 30, 32 and 34 (French 58, 60 and 62) have no letter.


Display: on all women's clothing (dresses, tops, trousers, skirts, coats…), the size shows both, for example « UK 8 (S) ». Searching for S finds the same items.


Buying

  • A garment in UK 10 and a garment in M are the same size.
  • Fit varies from brand to brand: read the description (measurements, the seller's advice). If in doubt, ask the seller in a message before buying.


Selling

  • Pick the size on the label. Pick « UK 8 (S) », « UK 10 (M) »… directly: if the label only shows a letter or a number, the table gives the other one.
  • If the item runs small or large, say so in the description.


Special cases

  • Jeans: a US size (W26, W28…) is a waist measurement. Put it in the description.
  • Bras: they have their own grid (85B, 90C…).
  • Shoes, men's and kids': separate grids, not covered by this table.
