Indian Clothing Size Chart: India to US/UK/EU Conversion

Notes
Lead with measurements, not just labels. Size-label conversions are approximate and vary by brand. Always pair the conversion table with actual bust-waist-hip measurements so global shoppers can verify against their body, not just a letter.
Show conversions automatically for NRIs. Use a chart with built-in unit and region toggles, or detect the shopper's country, so NRI buyers see US/UK/EU equivalents without manual math — a common source of cross-border sizing errors.
FAQs
How do Indian sizes convert to US, UK, and EU?
Roughly, an Indian M (36 bust) maps to US 6, UK 10, EU 38, but conversions are approximate and brand-dependent. Always confirm against actual bust-waist-hip measurements rather than labels alone.
How do I reduce returns from NRI and global customers?
Show India-to-US/UK/EU conversions alongside real measurements, offer inch/cm toggles, and surface the shopper's regional size automatically to avoid manual conversion mistakes.
Are size-label conversions reliable?
Only approximately. Labels vary by brand and country, so the safest approach is to provide the conversion table plus the garment's actual measurements for the shopper to verify.
