Bardot Size Guide: What Size Am I in Bardot? Fit Advice & UK Sizing Help

Bardot is the Australian fashion brand known for flattering cuts, occasion-ready styles, and elegant eveningwear that never tries too hard. From off-shoulder dresses to corset tops and sleek co-ords, Bardot nails the balance between feminine polish and bold design. But when it comes to sizing, shoppers often find themselves asking:

“Do Bardot clothes run small or true to size?”

The answer? It depends on the fabric, the silhouette, and your body shape. That’s why Tellar.co.uk exists—to give you a personalised, data-driven size match based on your actual body measurements or known sizes in other brands. No guesswork, no awkward fit surprises.

Bardot Sizing: What to Expect

Bardot uses Australian sizing, which differs slightly from UK and US systems. Though many UK retailers convert the sizes when listing them, the actual garment fit still reflects Bardot’s original size block: tailored, close to the body, and often with minimal stretch.

Common fit characteristics:

Dresses and co-ords: Typically run fitted across the bust and waist; skirts may hug the hips.
Corset tops and bodysuits: Very structured—often tighter than expected.
Trousers and denim: Mid-rise or high-rise, fitted through the waist and hips.
Blazers and jackets: Generally true to size, though slightly narrow in the shoulders.

In general, Bardot runs small if you have curves—especially across the chest or hips. It’s worth checking your body measurements against the cut of the garment before ordering.

Or better yet, let Tellar.co.uk do it for you in seconds.

Bardot to UK Size Conversion

Bardot’s native sizing is Australian, which is numerically similar to UK sizes minus two. So, if you normally wear a UK 10, you’d likely need a Bardot AU 12.

Bardot (AU)	UK Size	US Size	Fit Notes
6	UK 4	US 0	Petite or very slim builds
8	UK 6	US 2	Fitted silhouette
10	UK 8	US 4	Standard slim UK fit
12	UK 10	US 6	May feel snug in the bust
14	UK 12	US 8	Better for curvier hips or bust
16	UK 14	US 10	More comfortable for structured pieces

The easiest way to get this right is to use Tellar.co.uk’s free tool, which instantly matches your size in Bardot based on your body or what you wear in other brands.

Bardot vs Similar Brands

If you shop at brands like Forever New, Reiss, Meshki, or Karen Millen, Bardot will feel somewhat familiar—but often more fitted, especially through the torso.

Here’s how Bardot compares:

Forever New Size Guide – similar silhouette but more forgiving in stretch fabrics
Meshki Fit Advice – even more body-conscious, especially in occasionwear
Karen Millen Size Guide – tailored, but Bardot may feel tighter in the bust
