AU size first

Start with the Australian label size, then compare the closest US, UK or EU equivalent before you list.

Conversion second

Size conversion is a guide, not a promise. Brands, eras and fits can all shift the real size.

Measurements last

Add measurements to the listing so buyers are not relying on the converted label alone.

Listing tip

What to include after converting the size

Buyers often filter by size, but converted labels can be imperfect. Add the tag size, converted AU size and key measurements once, then reuse them anywhere you cross-list.

Tag size and country system if known
Chest or bust measurement for tops and dresses
Waist, rise and inseam for jeans and pants
Length for dresses, skirts and outerwear
Insole length for shoes when the printed size is unclear

FAQ

Size chart questions

Are Australian clothing sizes the same as UK sizes?

Australian clothing sizes are often close to UK clothing sizes, especially for women's clothing, but individual brands can vary. For resale listings, measurements are safer than label-only conversion.

Should resellers list the tag size or the measured size?

List the tag size, then add key measurements such as chest, waist, hips, length or insole length. This gives buyers the searchable size and enough detail to judge fit.

Are shoe size conversions exact?

No. Shoe size conversions are approximate because brands use different lasts and fits. If possible, include the size printed on the shoe and the insole length.
