Rabanne Size Guide: What Size Am I in Rabanne? Fit Tips, Sizing Conversions & How to Get It Right First Time

Rabanne (formerly Paco Rabanne) has long been associated with avant-garde glamour and futuristic design, blending fashion, art, and innovation since the 1960s. Whether it’s the shimmering chainmail dresses, sharply tailored blazers, or ready-to-wear basics with a high fashion edge—Rabanne’s aesthetic is bold, but their sizing isn’t always easy to decode.

If you’ve ever hovered between two sizes, struggled with French sizing charts, or wondered how Rabanne's pieces fit compared to other designer labels—you’re not alone.

That’s why we built Tellar.co.uk—the UK’s leading free size-matching tool that compares your exact measurements to over 1,500 brands. Rabanne included. We take the guesswork out of every purchase, so you don’t have to scroll through confusing conversion charts or risk buying the wrong size.

The Evolution of Rabanne (And Why Sizing Now Matters More Than Ever)

Rabanne’s transition from the Paco Rabanne brand into its modern identity reflects a shift toward international ready-to-wear appeal. While past collections were dominated by couture silhouettes, today’s Rabanne includes:

Stretch jersey and knitwear,
Tailored separates,
Casual suiting,
And modern takes on metallics and mesh.

With more day-to-day wearability, more people are buying Rabanne for work, events, and off-duty looks. But its French sizing structure and slim tailoring mean UK shoppers need to double-check their size before they buy.

Find your exact size now using Tellar, based on your own body—not guesswork or general charts.

Rabanne Size Conversion Chart

FR Size (Rabanne Tag)	UK Size	US Size	Waist (inches)	Bust (inches)
34	6	2	25–26"	31–32"
36	8	4	27"	33–34"
38	10	6	28–29"	35–36"
40	12	8	30–31"	37–38"
42	14	10	32–33"	39–40"

Rabanne uses true French sizing, which tends to run slightly smaller than UK high-street brands. If you’re used to shopping at places like COS or Whistles, you may want to size up for more structured Rabanne pieces.

Instead of second-guessing, let Tellar.co.uk show you the correct size for your exact measurements, instantly.

What to Expect from Rabanne Sizing

Structured Dresses and Blazers

Rabanne tailoring is cut slim through the shoulder and waist.

If you’re in between sizes, go up one size.
For a sharper silhouette, stay true to size but be prepared for a snug fit.
Note: Some chainmail dresses or embellished styles have limited give or stretch.

Knitwear and Stretch Items

Jersey and knitted pieces are usually true to size, and more forgiving.

These typically align with your standard UK size.
Ideal if you prefer a second-skin fit or layering piece.

Trousers and Skirts

Bottoms can be more variable, depending on whether they’re part of a tailored or relaxed capsule.

High-rise or sculpted waist trousers may feel narrow through the hips.
Rabanne skirts often feature side zips and less elasticated structure.

Sizing Challenges with Rabanne (And How Tellar Solves Them)

Why it’s tricky:

Rabanne uses French sizing, but many UK retailers auto-convert this inconsistently.
Different seasons = different cuts. What fits in SS23 might be smaller in AW24.
You may wear different sizes across categories (e.g. knitwear vs. tailoring).

How Tellar helps:

We’ve reverse-engineered the official Rabanne size charts, combined them with product data and real-world feedback from UK users, and match that against your actual body shape to show the right size every time.

Hear from Other Shoppers

“I ordered a size 38 dress thinking it was a UK 10, but it was so snug around my bust I had to return it. With Tellar, I realised I needed a 40 for that style. Fit perfectly.”
— Amelia, 35, Manchester

“Rabanne trousers look amazing but fit super narrow through the hips. If I hadn’t checked Tellar, I would have bought my normal size and regretted it.”
— Rebecca, 28, Bristol
