“Why don’t my clothing sizes match across different stores — and how can I find my correct size online?”
If you’re wondering “Why am I a size 10 in Zara but a size 14 in H&M?” or “How do I find my true size when every brand is different?” — this post is for you.
🧵 Why your size changes across brands
Clothing sizes aren’t universal — they’re made up by each brand. That’s why you might be:
A size 12 in ASOS
A size 10 in Mango
A size 14 in H&M
This happens because of:
Vanity sizing (brands make sizes bigger so you feel smaller)
Inconsistent measurement charts
Different sizing systems (UK vs EU vs US)
Fabric stretch and fit intentions (slim-fit vs relaxed)
📏 How to finally find your accurate size in any brand
🔍 Step 1: Measure your body properly
Use a soft tape to measure:
Chest/Bust
Waist
Hips
🟢 Tip: tellar.co.uk — no purchase required.
