Sizing is where private-label programmes lose the most time: the same “M” means different measurements in the EU, the US and the UK, and childrenswear sizes are usually height-based. Use this table to align your grading before you send a tech pack.

How to use these tables
- Always grade from body measurements, not from another brand’s labels. The EU/US/UK mapping below is the common commercial convention — your buyer’s grade sheet wins where it differs.
- Waist bands stretch. Quote both relaxed and stretched waist; a tolerance of ±1 cm on the relaxed measurement is normal.
- Kids’ sizes are height-driven (80–130 cm), not age-driven. Age labels are marketing, height is production.
- US vs UK: US women’s sizes run two numbers below UK (US 8 = UK 12); men’s waist sizes are usually inches in both.
Send us your grade sheet or a reference garment and we will return a size-set sample in your target system before bulk production.
