UK and US S, M, L, XL in India
Letter sizes are not standard, so a Medium in one brand can be a Large in another. As a general guide:
- US Small (US 4–6) ≈ Indian 34–36 (Bee Boe S–M)
- US Medium (US 8–10) ≈ Indian 36–38 (Bee Boe M–L)
- US Large (US 12–14) ≈ Indian 40 (Bee Boe XL)
- US XL (US 16) ≈ Indian 42 (Bee Boe XXL)
- UK Small (UK 8–10) ≈ Indian 34–36
- UK Medium (UK 12–14) ≈ Indian 38
- UK Large (UK 16–18) ≈ Indian 40–42
- UK XL (UK 20–22) ≈ Indian 44–46 (custom fit at Bee Boe)
Always check the brand’s own bust measurement for its letter size, then match that number to the Indian size.
Indian M, L, XL and XXL in UK and US sizes
Indian M (36) = UK 10 = US 6–8 · Indian L (38) = UK 12–14 = US 10 · Indian XL (40) = UK 16 = US 12–14 · Indian XXL (42) = UK 18 = US 16.
UK waist sizes in India (28, 30, 32, 34)
On UK jeans and trousers, a waist size like 28, 30 or 32 is roughly the waist in inches, and Indian brands use the same number. So a UK 32 waist is about a 32-inch (81 cm) waist, or Indian waist size 32. UK 28 = 28″ (71 cm), UK 30 = 30″ (76 cm), UK 34 = 34″ (86 cm).
The body waist for each UK dress size: UK 6 = 26″, UK 8 = 28″, UK 10 = 30″, UK 12–14 = 32″, UK 16 = 34″, UK 18 = 36″.
How to choose your size
Measure your bust, waist and hips with a soft tape, then find the size where all three fit. If they point to different sizes, go by the measurement that matters most for the style: bust and waist for corsets, strapless and fitted dresses; bust for relaxed and draped styles; hips for fitted skirts. When in doubt, choose custom fit.

Size charts are a starting point, not a promise. If your bust, waist and hips fall into different sizes on the chart above, or you are between two sizes, choose Custom on any product page and enter your measurements. Every Bee Boe piece is made to order in India, and custom fit costs nothing extra.
