How to Find Your Correct Size and Get it Right EveryTime

Clothing sizes are supposed to make shopping easier—but for most people, they do the exact opposite. A size 12 in one shop fits like a 10 in another. You might be a Medium in Zara, but a Large in H&M. And when you’re shopping online, this inconsistency becomes even more frustrating.

So how do you get your size right every time, no matter what brand you're buying from? The answer lies in understanding how sizing works, why it varies so much, and how you can take control of the process using smarter tools—like the free sizing tool from Tellar.co.uk.

Why Clothing Sizes Vary So Much

Before we can solve the sizing issue, we need to understand the root of the problem.

1. Lack of Industry Standardisation

There’s no universal sizing chart across brands. Each brand defines its own measurements for what constitutes a size 10, M, or Large. In the UK, some brands base their sizes on older pattern blocks, while others update yearly based on trend forecasts or marketing decisions.

2. Vanity Sizing

Brands often adjust sizes to flatter customers. For example, a UK size 12 in one brand might have the same measurements as a UK size 14 in another. This vanity sizing practice is designed to make customers feel better—but it makes size conversion harder.

3. International Size Systems

Sizes differ drastically across countries. A UK 12 is not the same as a US 12, and a European 40 might be closer to a UK 12 but still varies brand to brand. This makes shopping from international labels confusing unless you know your exact body measurements.

Step 1: Know Your Body Measurements

The most reliable way to shop smarter is to understand your own body. Focus on three key areas:

• Bust (or Chest)

• Waist

• Hips

If you don’t own a measuring tape, you can download and print one for free from Tellar.co.uk’s printable tape guide. It’s quick, easy, and completely free to use.

When measuring, make sure:

• The tape is snug but not tight.

• You’re standing upright.

• You’re measuring the fullest part of each area.

Once you have your core measurements, you’ll be able to compare them directly against any brand's size chart.

Step 2: Don’t Trust Size Labels—Check the Chart

This is a common mistake: you assume you're always a size M or a UK 12. But those size labels are just rough guidelines. Always compare your measurements with the brand’s specific size chart.

However, let’s be honest: comparing size charts manually for every brand is a pain. That’s where Tellar.co.uk makes all the difference.

Bonus Tip: Account for Fabric and Fit

Even when you have the right size recommendation, the fabric type and intended fit can change how something feels on your body.

• Stretch fabrics (like elastane, lycra, or jersey) tend to be forgiving—if you’re in between sizes, you can often size down.

• Structured fabrics (like denim, linen, or cotton poplin) have little give—so size up if you’re between sizes.

• Relaxed or oversized fits are meant to be roomy—don’t panic if it feels loose.

• Tailored or bodycon fits will hug closer—make sure your measurements match exactly.

Tellar.co.uk factors these details into its size recommendations where brands make them available.
