How it works
Measure the fullest bust, natural waist and fullest hips with a level tape over underwear. Choose the named reference or enter your garment’s brand chart. The tool compares each measurement separately and identifies the first chart row at least as large as all three inputs, only when the measurements are within the chart’s published span.
Separate custom rows with semicolons, using size,bust,waist,hip in the selected chart units. Values must increase in every measurement column. These are body-measurement reference points, not finished garment dimensions. The small custom example is illustrative until replaced with your brand’s data.
Current-input example
The result above uses these exact values. This snapshot is included when the page is printed so the output can be checked against the original measurements.

Before using the result
- Check the selected mode, units and input values before using the result.
- Read the assumptions and rounding rules; compare the worked example with your intended calculation.
- A numerical result does not supply missing context or change the stated limitations.
Limitations
The first covering row is a comparison aid, not a guarantee of fit or a recommendation to size up. Between-size bodies may need a different cut or alterations. Stretch, ease, garment length and petite/tall proportions are not calculated. Named data is the Regular chart only, not Petite or Swim. There is no universal US/UK/EU dress-size conversion; use the actual brand’s label chart. No photos or measurements are uploaded.

Why might the finished result differ?
Results depend on the entered data and the model’s assumptions. Rounding, changing conditions or omitted factors can affect the comparison. Read the limitations before using the result.
