Lingerie and underwear sizes, size conversion chart
IMPORTANT: Please read this BEFORE ordering. For hygiene reasons no lingerie can be exchanged once the packing has been opened or there is any sign that the item has been worn.
'ONE SIZE' – What does that mean?
'One size' will NOT fit all sizes. It will fit women who are dress size 10 - 14 in the Standard ranges, and 18– 22 in the Plus Size ranges.
'Queen', 'x1', 'x2', 'x3' – What do they mean?
'Queen' is the one size in plus sizes and should fit women size 18-22.
x1=18, x2=20, and x3=22
Generally lingerie and underwear come in many different sizes. Bras, basques and corsets are often specified by bra size and cup size, eg 34C (bra size 34, cup size C). If yo want to know how to work out a bra size correctly using this method just see the JK Lingerie bra sizer.
Sometimes bras, bra sets, basques and corsets are specified as 'small', 'medium', 'large' or 'extra large'. Knickers, briefs, thongs, shorts, nighties etc are usually specified as 'small', 'medium', 'large' or extra large'. The situation gets even more complicated because sometimes lingerie and underwear are specified as size 8 or size 12 etc, and what's more there are different international sizes!
To help you work out the correct lingerie or underwear size we've created a chart below to show you how all the sizes convert and relate to each other both in the UK and internationally.
| SIZE CALCULATOR – Enter the bust, waist or hip size etc in inches in the box before the equals sign, then click once on the 'x' sign. The size in cm will appear in the right box. |
