How Do I Find My Right Size Without a Measuring Tape?

Trying to figure out your clothing size but don’t have a measuring tape at home? You’re not alone. Most sizing charts ask for your bust, waist and hip measurements—but that’s no help if you don’t have the right tools.

The good news? You can find your perfect size—accurately and easily—even without a measuring tape.

At Tellar.co.uk, we’ve made it possible to shop confidently from over 1,500 brands, whether you have professional tools or not. Here’s exactly how to do it.

Why Measurements Matter

Fashion sizing is chaotic. A size 10 in Zara might feel like a size 8 in COS, and like a size 12 in Reiss. Most brands use their own internal fit systems, so relying on the size label alone is risky.

What does stay consistent is your body’s actual measurements—your bust, waist and hips. These are the key to decoding any brand’s size chart.

But what if you don’t have a measuring tape?

You’ve still got three smart options—all powered by Tellar.co.uk.

Option 1: Download Tellar’s Free Printable Measuring Tape

Let’s start with the easiest and most accurate method.

You don’t need to guess or buy anything—Tellar.co.uk gives you a free printable measuring tape, designed specifically for measuring your body.

How to Use It:

Go to www.tellar.co.uk
Download the free printable tape
Print it out and follow the simple cut-and-stick instructions
Use it to measure your bust, waist and hips at home
Enter your numbers at www.tellar.co.uk/create-profile/
Instantly see your perfect size across Zara, Mango, Reiss, COS and 1,500+ brands

No cost. No tools. No confusion. Just print, measure, and shop smarter.

Option 2: Use a Brand You Already Wear

Don’t want to print anything right now? That’s okay.

If you already shop with a brand that fits you well (for example, Zara Medium or Reiss size 10), you can use that as your baseline.

What to Do:

Go to www.tellar.co.uk/store-size-lookup/
Enter the brand and size you usually wear
Tellar will estimate your body measurements and match them to equivalent sizes in 1,500+ other brands

This is perfect if you don’t know your measurements but have a reliable go-to store.

Option 3: Estimate Using a Fitted Garment

Still unsure? You can estimate your body measurements using a garment you already own.

Step-by-Step:

Lay a well-fitting top or dress flat on a table
Use a ruler or object of known length (A4 paper = 29.7cm, phone = ~15cm)
Measure:
- Bust: Across the chest from armpit to armpit
- Waist: At the narrowest part
- Hips: At the widest part of the bottom hem
Double each width to get your full circumference
Enter your estimates at www.tellar.co.uk/create-profile/

This method won’t be perfect—but thanks to Tellar’s algorithms, it’s still more accurate than guessing or ordering multiple sizes blindly.

Why Guessing Is a Bad Idea

If you’ve ever ordered two sizes of the same item “just to be safe,” you know the pain:

Time wasted on returns
Frustration from inconsistent fits
Lost confidence when nothing seems right

But it’s not your body—it’s the broken sizing system.

Tellar.co.uk exists to fix that.

Whether you print a tape, estimate from clothes, or use a known size—we decode every brand’s size logic and recommend the right fit for your exact shape.

What Tellar.co.uk Does Differently

Most size tools offer generic charts. We go way further.

At Tellar.co.uk, we:

✅ Match your measurements (or known brand size) to brand-specific charts

✅ Account for how each brand runs (small, large, true to size)

✅ Include fabric, cut, and fit data to improve accuracy

✅ Compare over 1,500 brands—from Zara and Mango to Reiss, COS, White Stuff, & Other Stories and more

✅ Work in real-time and are always 100% free to use

Don’t Have a Printer?

Even without printing, you can:

Use your known size in one store to find your fit in another
Estimate your body measurements using objects at home
Bookmark www.tellar.co.uk/store-size-lookup/ for fast lookups
Save your fit profile at www.tellar.co.uk/create-profile/ and reuse it forever

But if you can print, our measuring tape is the fastest route to spot-on sizing—no more trial and error.

Real Example: No Tape Needed

Let’s say you usually wear a Size M in Zara. You want to try Mango, COS and White Stuff.

Instead of guessing or risking returns, you:

Go to www.tellar.co.uk/store-size-lookup/
Select Zara as your known brand and Size M
Instantly get your size in Mango (likely M or L), COS (probably S or M), and White Stuff (possibly even an 8 or 10)

No tape, no drama, just accurate results.
